NesDS

[BlueStar]

hey guys,

i'm trying to get NesDS to work on my DS, but it always says "no roms found". i followed these directions in a stickied topic:


Download NesDS from here:

http://www.cs.utah.edu/~tew/nesDS/nesDS.zip

NDStool here:

http://darkfader.net/ds/files/ndstool.exe

1.Unzip nesDS.zip to a folder.

2.Add ndstool.exe to the same folder as nesDS.

3.Run make_nds.bat. This should open the nesDS.exe program.

4.Add .nes files to the program by clicking on the folder icon.

5.Click "Save..." and save the file as "nesDS.ds.gba".

6.When it says "Done", click ok. The program will exit and create a file called "nesDS.nds".

7.Rename the file if you want and then copy it to the Max Media Dock/Player. Run it from the Max Media menu.

Follow these steps and you should be able to get it to work. Be sure to limit the number of .nes files so that it will fit in the RAM.

I only put in 1 nes file. Do I need to put in more? Or is my DS firmware just too old? (I bought it a month after it came out)

NESDS will not work on Max Media Player, it will work on Max Media Dock as long as you are not using a 1GB SanDisk CF card.

As far as Firmware is concerned, I don't know, I have the DSLite.

metroplex2k7 where you able to get it to play with your dslite and how

[BlueStar]

a guy in the post said he uses max media player and it works for him. the instructions do say "select it from the max media player menu", so it must work.

also, the program itself works, it just won't detect the roms.

what does the 1 GB sandisk card have anything to do with it? My friend has that and it works fine in the dock, nesds and all. Weird.

[BlueStar]

ah! theres the guy who got it to work!

is there anything i'm doing wrong, or does my ds have something to do with it? and just in case, can you send me a working version with mario bros and zelda 1 on it? (like via pm or something)

EDIT: whoops forgot theres no pms here. heh.

hoping someone can help me.... I can't seem to download the ndstool.exe progy. Is the site down, if so temporarily or for good? Is there a mirror anywhere?

nesds_wip1
that's what i used and I'm playing nes

[metroplex2k7]

I found that using the original NESds worked for me, the new NESds_WIP didn't work for me.

Qerrpsmnnx, I guess you are just lucky cause I have talked to at least 4 people that couldn't get it to work until they changed their CF card.

can someone upload the ndstool? or email it to me at [email protected]

dslazy (http://l33t.spod.org/ratx/DS/dslazy/) comes with ndstool.exe, if you can't grab it from darkfader.

[Qerppsmmnx]

I haven't been able to get the WIP to work either.

[bbrewer01]

i'm the opposite i couldn't get nesds to work but the wip went great!

[jro2020]

Thank you. As i mentioned earlier darkfader seems to be down or hacked by terrorists.... something weird that i don't understand in anycase.

[vtd@.//]

yeah darkfader is hacked... tried the ndstool with the ds lazy file. i got nesds to boot but it says no roms found same with the wip one. I'm just stuck here with nesterds(the only thing that works for me on my mmd...) also can't get snes ds to boot either...
