All of the game roms (which can be in .bin and .a26) must be in a folder named stellads also on the root of your card.
Of course continue to dldi patch it, and be forwarned that not every game plays at 100% speed.

Fantastic! It works!

Thank you! XD
Does sound work? Cause I read on some sites that it works and others say it doesn't. StellaDS says "Initializing Sound..." and "Done Initializing Sound!" but I hear nothing.
I'm confused.... ._.'

For me on my MMD, I have to reboot again and again until sound is functional. Sadly this was the same for FrodoDS.
Hope that works for you.

And read my reply in the MarcaDS thread. DLDIRC is really the easiest method of patching your .nds files.

this is where you can get all your dldi patches. just download the patch which matches your card and download the patcher software, dlditool.

bowling, dig dug and human cannonball works at 100% speed and sound.

fast scroll would be nice as i have 2564 roms..

almost every rom i've tried works at almost 100% speed with sound on my r4.

Very good emu, keep it up!

I followed all the instructions from TheChuckster - downloaded devkitpro, downloaded the source code, and put the .bins in the proper directory. It will compile for a while, then die with an error. - I keep getting:

Is there something else you have to do besides just copy the .bin files and use the makefile?

**crookedmouth** · August 25th, 2008, 16:42

You absolutly need to compile it?

**JDvorak** · January 4th, 2009, 17:11

No need to compile just download the emulator DLDI patch atarids.nds for your card, drop it in the root with the roms in the stellads folder and run it. Roms can be .bin or .a26. Pal roms flicker rest don't so just delete the Pal roms and run the NTSC roms. Works about 70% to 100% depending on the game. Some roms crash most don't. Yes it has sound although some games (PD) do not have any sound in the demo/game.
