A slight pause before the games load, but better compatibility on the GnM. I'd call this a success. I've already tested a few "Problem Apps" which work perfectly.

So... games n music can now boot up gba flash carts for some gba homebrew goodness?

or can you launch gba files without the gba cart now?

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!

i wonder if there'd be a way to load this over the original ds os?

Seems like a stupid idea to me, it does not offer a way to load ds or cards, so your ds would be unusable.

S

I imagine it means that it will copy GBA homebrew to a GBA flash cart in Slot-2 and boot it. I don't think it's possible to do GBA homebrew with only a Slot-1 card.

This looks pretty cool! So, it can't work on slot-2 devices?

It works on slot-2s but I am already making a Slot-2 version with more features.

BTW, it just boots what ever is in the GBA slot into GBA modewith a custom border.

BTW, I will be cominmg out with a new firmware for the DS soon which you can look forward to.

so I can now use the 3-in-1 ez-flash to play gba files, using this? (and NDS station)

If you have a gba cart in the slot, this will boot it, just like the firmware does on your ds. It wiy a .gba file to the cart or anything like that.

Boots on the DS-X, and can boot most homebrew (albeit with a bit of load time...)

Has trouble booting certain homebrew apps and 'special' games. And idea on that?

It will only boot homebrew. If anyone wants to load 'special' games, they should use whatever menu came with their card (if it allows such things).

So basically for non-GnM users this doesn't do much/anything? That's what I'm getting so far anyway:p
