Help with MircoSD and LinuxDS

[Bl33tllama]

Hey there,

Let me give you guy some information about the situation that I currently find myself.

It all started when I thought (for a school project) I would put Linux onto my DS. $150 dollars and countless hours later of trolling forums I finally broke down and am now admiting that I require help.

Things I have
-DS Lite (Version...where the screen is magenta)
-SuperCard Lite
-Super Passme
-USB Card Reader
-MicroSD Adapter for the Card Reader
-512mb Micro SD chip

Now, I have updated all the firmwhere and what not, but my real question is How do I go about putting a bootable version of LinuxDS onto the MicroSD, so that I can put the MicroSD into the SuperCard Lite and have it boot up when I turn on my Nintendo DS.

If you could just link me to a place where I can find a tutorial as to how to continue my project that would be great.

-Also, do I have to do anything to the linuxDS to make it boot? Do I have to add in code some place (God I hope not, because my coding skills are bad)

I have the dslinux-ram.gz form of linuxds that i downloaded for the dslinux site. If that helps any.

Thank you to anybody who decides to try and help me.

I don't know how to answer this, but i'll just tell you something whether it helps or not I don't know.

M3 has a "Boot.nds" file so once i open in DS mode it goes straight to M3, if you could get it to do this with a boot file, then after that in settings you can just set it up to switch on and go to the DS game. But yeah I don't have a boot file for linux ;-/

Thanks for the reply!

I went and got the boot.nds and put it on my micro SD

I guess I dont know what to all do with it.

I have gotten linux to show up now as a choosable option, but it just loads then goes to a white screen and stays there.

I had to add the .nds file extention onto the end of my linux file to be able to see it.

Any new ideas anybody?

Thanks for help in advance

Hmm....SCLite....maybe it needs to be patched? I know theres a homebrew patcher somewhere around here...
