I've tried multiple times to run NethackDS on my Cyclo but it isn't working. When I load the game, the screens flash briefly with a strobe of multicolor bars and then both screens go white and nothing happens. Here are the two directory settings I have tried. The first is the one I am currently using. Root/Homebrew/NethackDS/Nethack/NetHackDS.nds Root/Homebrew/NethackDS/NetHackDS.nds The files were downloaded from here: http://frodo.dyn.gno.org/~brettk/NetHackDS My Cyclo is running the most current firmware. Any ideas?

Like the instructions say, the nethack folder has to be in the root. quote:Installation Instructions Ara fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jan 31, 2009 |

The default scheme has six buttons being used for five targets -- the fact that you can push either Right on the D-pad or the Y button as your "center" button really fucks me up sometimes. I kind of like it using the stylus, the Guitar Hero On Tour handpiece works with it, but it's made for little hands. So not much good.

Has anyone else had any problems getting homebrew to run on their cyclods? I am running firmware version 1.5 and for some reason Readmore Alpha will not open any text files, and I can't open the browser in dsorganize. When I try to do either, it freezes the ds and I have to shutdown. Everything else I have tried works fine, including backups of games I have, so I can't figure it out. All I know is that I want to read a god damned gta 4 walkthrough without alt tabbing and the universe is hell bent on stopping me.

Files corrupt obnoxiously frequently. Buchanandorf posted a link to a particularly helpful formatter a few pages back which has worked for me.

I know this isn't exactly the right thread for this but it's close enough. Is there an emulator for GBA rom carts that let's you play Gameboy/GBC games? There of few games I haven't played in ages I'd like to play on my Gameboy Micro.

I'm a bit late on reporting it, but hey, I think a month of working is good anyway. The TTDS is just fantastic. I was really hesitant after hearing some backlash, but I don't regret it. Ys menu is a little more hassle to set up and update then I'd like, but it's worth it. I haven't thrown much homebrew at it, but what I have I've been pleasantly surprised to find out it works (NDSMail, Genesis, NES, MS/GG, and Gameboy emulators, the adventure books things, powder). I also recently discovered it loads GBA games straight out of the menu. I was using ExpLoader until I stumbled upon that. I dunno if the fake rate was just high or what, but I've had none of the issues people were talking about. It's been a beaut so far.

I'm thinking I could replace the outdated R4 firmware with something that's being actively developed.

Yeah, YSMENU loads GBA games pretty much the same way as Exploader. You can write to NOR and stuff from it too, so the only thing I can think of right now being "better" about exploader is that you can have multiple save files per game easily (I don't do this), and a few times compatability. I think it's been fixed though, can't remember having problems with any game in the last couple versions (some wouldn't save before). Installing YSMENU on an R4 is something I'd do if I still used an R4, but it won't give you any better DS ROM launching compatability, because the R4 loader is still used to start the games. You'll get better menus and 3-in-1 support.

Ara posted:A lot of people were having problems with defective units from them. Hopefully if they're back-ordered that means that they've finally gotten rid of all their defective ones, so it's probably for the best that you're back-ordered. I think the new problem with the 3-in-1 is that the hardware is ahead of the software, isn't it? So you may have a fully functional unit, but the software can't support it.

That's the situation I am in now, I got my 3-in-1 from DX about 2 weeks ago. So there's no need for concern, you'll just have to wait until more software catches up.

I found my old stash of Metroid carts and blew through them in about 2 hours each (I'm surprised the old carts even worked), but I can't find my SNES console for Super Metroid. I remember the PSP emulation was pretty good on most SNES games, but things like Mario RPG made it poo poo its pants. How does the DS stack up? And what's the best SNES emulator?

SNEmulDS is the best, but it hasn't been updated for over a year, and doesn't emulate very well. Lots of games experience slowdowns, graphical glitches or just won't work at all. My gal was playing Super Metroid on her DS last year, and had to give up when she got to a boss that was invicible. I guess you could set some layer options and poo poo, but it's not very practical or fun.

I tired to run through earthbound on it and while it was completely playable your sprite stands on top of everything and i'm not sure I ever found a layer setup that worked well for both the normal world and battles. Too bad there isn't a translated Mother 1+2 rom.

Since we're on the subject, and I'm sure this has been discussed before--is there a reason homebrew SNES emulation has stagnated on the DS, aside from some dude stopping work on the project? I recall someone mentioning that the DS's ARM just isn't adequately designed for emulating the SNES processor, but even if 100% compatibility is impossible you'd think they would still be able to fix things like layering issues on the games that do work. What's the deal?

Because the DS's 66MHz processor can't handle software emulation DS emulators basically attempt to translate data into the DS's native format. This means the disparity between the formats (specifically layering and transparency) is quite noticeable. the PSP on the other hand has a 333mhz processor and can handle software emulation on many SNES games.
