how do you patch the games there is no read me file

[DanTheManMS]

It's standard DLDI patching. Read the sticky in this forum to learn what DLDI is and how to patch with it.

Anyone with a Kensington MicroSD card get this to work? I need to try it, but I know the previous builds wouldn't do save states or SRAM. Anyone check it?

[RibStabsHeart]

Holy $#@!! IT WORKS!

If you have a Kingston micro SD card and couldn't save SRAM or States before, IT WORKS NOW WITH DLDI!

Loopy, this is amazing. Could you fix up SNESDS with DLDI real quick too?

[x999x]

Patched and auto patched with the new 1.10 R4 firmware, and I still can't get this to save.

I am receiving errors after I try to save to sram.

You can check this on your R4 by starting Zelda, making a character and then saving to sram. Now click "Load Rom" and you'll see an error message regarding your Sram save just before your DS locks up and requires a reboot.

DAMN, This won't work with the damn Games n' Music.

pizzatocoman, try the new DLDI file that Chishm made for the GnM, available at the DLDI Wiki (Google for it).

Hey homer, you just have a crappy rom man, dl a clean rom, not a modded one.

I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. I distinctly remember getting to minus world on my NES when I was a kid. I was using a plain old "Super Mario Bros" game cartridge (not the Duck Hunt one), not one of the carts that comes with many games on one cart, I was not using any special tools such as Game Genie, etc.

I seem to remember there being a letter to Nintendo Power about it from a user describing how to get to minus world, and that's what induced us to try it. After all, in the late 80s most people didn't have internet access, and those that did -- I kinda doubt they were talking about the latest thing in video games. Either way, we didn't know what the internet was, and yet my brother & I still heard about it as kids.

So, those of you who don't believe minus world is legitimate, I challenge you to find an NES and a copy of SMB1, and try getting to minus world. I think you'll be surprised.

Oh, and another thing. We used to try jumping over the flagpole all the time. I'd get very close, landing just on the other side of the ball on top of the flag, and it'd pull me back over and I'd slide down the flag pole. With a game genie you can do it, but you get a similar effect as to minus world -- you just run forever until you run out of time.

Actually phantal, you're thinking of something else. There are improper dumps of Super Mario Bros.nes that don't initialize some settings correctly, and as such when you press Start to begin the game, it starts you off at world 0-1, which appears to be an underwater version of a castle or something (contains the bridge and key at the end). This is most likely what homer was talking about.

You can fix this by holding A as you press Start, or you can obtain a correct dump of the game.

The minus world you're thinking of is the one you access through world 1-2 by going through the bricks. That is indeed possible using NES DS and either the good or bad dump of the game.
