nesDS WIP - New Nes Emulator Build for the Nintendo DS

**Jackofdiamonds** · October 30th, 2006, 23:47

Okay, I've tried just about everything and I still can't get the thing to run on MMD. I've tried including the rom both zip and .nes in with it as well as the .ds.gba, putting it in the root dir, using older versions of nesds, older versions of the MMD software, Ive tried megaman, super mario, and kirby games. using one rom at a time and using several at once. renaming it, not renaming it. And yet I still can't get the damn thing to show anything more then the dreaded "No ROMS Found" message. This thing just isn't 100% compatible with MMD. So if you can't get it to work, odds are your screwed till someone makes this more compatible.

I'm using M3 Lite (Micro SD) and it is not able to load ROMs directly from the filesystem (FAT) on the Micro SD card.

However it works if you attach them to the .NDS file.

I would like to load the .nes files without having to attach them to a unique file...

I've tested the emulator GUI, too. I noticed that it has some stylus detection errors because it is impossible to press the menus (like the Display menu).

Have anybody sucessfully loaded ROMs with a M3 Lite? do you have problems with the graphical interface and the stylus??

The WIP release doesn't work with the MMD. You have to use the old version to get it to work.

Like I said, I tried older versions including the last non-WIP version. No go.

Have you also downloaded ndstool.exe and copied it to your nesDS folder? That will make a duplicate file of your rom list with the .nds extention. If you move that into your games folder on the mmd it should work fine. At least I've had no trouble with mine... Now my question is has anyone found a way to save (save states or otherwise) w/ nesds on mmd?

Ok, everything you should need to get NesDS working is posted on my website at:http://pic6.piczo.com/MMDStuff/?g=23964015&cr=6

There is also a test file of NES homebrew there so you can make sure that your card is compatible with NesDS.

I hope that helps.

Can't use on SC miniSD....

Is there a way of getting this to use "a-lerp" by default instead of flicker? Like via the INI file or anything? It's just that my M3 Simply won't let me save the settings and it's really irritating having to set it every time.
