There are hundreds of games for the SNES. Many will work on SNES DS. Try Acrobat Mission or Kirby's Dream Course or Aladdin or something.
And yes, if Chishm gets a free GnM he might be able to find time to reverse engineer it, but it's not guaranteed.
Still, it's not working. I don't get it. I did everything, but still nothing.Quote:

The output file is less than 3-4 MB, right?
Yup. How do you open up an .nds file? Also, the reason me NesDS works is because I put in something called Nesds_MMCFix.nds. Don't exactly know what it is or does, but I was looking for one for Snes_DS. I notice many people with Max Media Dock experience same thing I am.Quote:

I'm honestly really surprised that the MMD fix works on the GnM, as the two are completely different devices. However, there is no such thing for SNES DS.
What's no$GBA? If this fails too, I won't know what to do.Quote:

It's a GBA and NDS emulator for the PC. I merely wish to see if your compiled snesDS.nds file is supposed to run in the first place. If it runs in no$GBA but not your GnM card, then there's nothing I can do. If it doesn't run in no$GBA, then either you built the file wrong or the game simply isn't compatible.
It said I need an original copy of GBA Bios and stuff like that.Quote:

I went and downloaded a fresh copy of the latest no$GBA and did nothing but open it and select my snesDS.nds file, and it worked.
Just download the latest version (v2.4b), double click NO$GBA.exe, and select the snesDS.nds file from the window that pops up.
Again, this is just a test to make sure that your snesDS.nds file is valid.
EDIT: ah, messing with this fresh copy, I see where you got the message. Okay, the only way to get that message is if you run snesDS.exe directly, opening up the snesDS.ds.gba file produced with no$GBA. That is not what you want to do, and that method will not work on your GnM. You need to run make_nds.bat instead, making sure you have ndstool.exe in the same directory. It will open up the snesDS.exe window, yes, but then once you've saved it as "snesDS.ds.gba" the rest of the batch file will run that .ds.gba file through ndstool to automatically create snesDS.nds for you. That is the file you try in no$GBA, and that is the file you try on your GnM.
Probably the snesds emulator itself is bad. After I tested out Acrobat Mission and Kirby's Dream Course, using .nds file that came from make_nds and ndstool, all I get is a blank screen with percentage at the top starting over and over. Think it's my emulator?
