I run the make_nds.bat and it doesnt make a nds file..?

2 things to check:

1.Do you have NDStool.exe in the folder with it? If not then you will not get a .nds file.

and

2.Did you rename the file while saving in the NesDS.exe program? If you did it will only create a .gba file.

Hope this helps.

M3SD,M3CF,SCSD,SCCF,GBAMP are confirmed working, however there are issues on various SD cards. On the weekend I will update the libFAT drivers which should fix this for those users.

ok, so i just got my M3 CF today, got nds and doom ds working.

Ive ben playing with this, but when i load it on my m3 all it phails, just doesnt load anything.... screen of death.

So i must have done something wrong somewhere!... but where? hmm.

OK so i have ndstool.exe in the folder, and run the bat file, add my roms to the list? and hit save. I get a ~5 mb file. Ive tried adding just this to my CF card, and everything: everything in the zip, ndstool, and the roms... same error.

any of you know what ive done wrong?

ps. this is off-topic, but is there a GB/GBC emu in development or released?

I don't have an M3 yet, but i think there are two ways of loading a DS file, the A button then theres the Start button, have you tried both?

[Ani-Monster]

i just did, again with just the .nds file and everything, both phailures.... when u press start or A the screen goes blank like it is when the ds is off.

UPDATE: got it working, had to set it up like GBAMP

I got nesds to work with max media player and 4gb hdd by downloading nesds-WIP1. instructions.
first you need to find nesds-WIP1 you can google it which i did or find it your own way. unzip it after it's downloaded and be sure to download and put ndstool in the same folder. ndstool is what makes the .nds file which you will use. alright to start you click on the make_nds file and the app comes up. click on the open file button to select your .nes game lets take megaman for ex. once megaman is on the apps screen click save. (it should save in the nesds_WIP1 folder, it's easier that way.) the save as window will open and just save it as the default save nesds.ds and click save again. a few seconds later it should say done. click ok and then the ndstool will make you your .nds file called nesds.nds. next you can then rename it to megaman.nds and move it to your max media player. it should work perfectly. if it works, which it should! you can make a .nds with more than one rom. like i did i put all 6 megaman games in one .nds which gives me the option to load any 6 of them at any time without having to restart the ds. simply, when your at the choose file menu and all six megaman games which should show you the list before you save. note nesds wont run if the file size of .nds is bigger than 3mb. but you should be able to make compilations like mario bros 1,2, and 3 all the megaman and what ever you want. enjoy!

I have done exactly has you've said, putting one ROM into the NesDS program, and getting a .gba file and a .nds file, which is a bit bigger than the .gba file. I copied said .nds file to my MMD, in the Games folder. I ran it, the bottom screen went black and the top went white. After 16 seconds, NESDS appears in the top right corner of the bottom screen with a line right underneath it stretching from one side of the screen to the other. After a few seconds, No ROMS found appears on the right beneath the line.

I have tried putting my NES ROMs in the same folder as the .nds file, but there is no difference. I tried putting all my ROMs, which add up to just over 2MB, into the NESDS program, and running the .nds file on my MMD, but it does not start at all. The whole thing just freezes up.

So, to reittirate, NESDS is able to run if I just put one ROM into the NESDS program on the PC, but says No ROMs found when it starts up on my MMD.

Same thing happens to me, too. I even tried using Mega Man like you did in the example.

Okay, I got it all downloaded on my Supercard SD, and it's working, but it won't let me use save states. Whenever I touch the option, nothing happens. Anyone know why this is?
