So I've done my research before reaching out here... and I suspect I already know the answer which is that nobody has really gotten ZXDS to run from the DSi SD card. I've seen some Reddit posts and pretty much everyone has given up. One bloke got it running on the 3DS via some convoluted method that I can't even begin to follow.
The emulator is superb. Full speed on the DS via FlashCart and a 3DS version which is still in "active" development (last released in late 2020). It has features that a full-featured Windows/Linux emulator would have - you can see the love the developer put into this. But, sadly, it will not load files from the SD card (though it will run). Whatever auto-patching goes on with nds-boostrap doesn't seem to work for this emulator.
Has anyone gotten the fantastic ZXDS to run on an SD card on the DSi?
@Indy13 ?
