*Games are run by nds-bootstrap

Features
  • Launch DS, DS⁽ⁱ⁾, and DS⁽ⁱ⁾Ware ROMs from the SD card and/or flashcard, via nds-bootstrap (comes included with the app)!
    • For flashcards, the flashcard kernel/firmware can optionally be used to boot the games, but only for regular DS games, and DS⁽ⁱ⁾-Enhanced games in DS mode.
    • 400+ DS⁽ⁱ⁾Ware titles can be played on DS & DS Lite consoles. (See this list for which can be played.)
  • Automatic on-the-fly AP-patching! Drag and drop your ROMs onto the SD card, and play, without any additional steps!
    The included AP-patches are loaded for a specific game, by nds-bootstrap, and the patching is done in RAM, leaving your original ROM untouched.
  • Bring the DSi Menu to your DS Phat/lite, by installing TWLMenu++ on a flashcard!
  • First DS flashcard UI to show animated icons from DS⁽ⁱ⁾-Enhanced, DS⁽ⁱ⁾-Exclusive, and DS⁽ⁱ⁾Ware games!
  • Set the language and region to your preference.
  • 10 save slots for DS⁽ⁱ⁾ games!
  • For DSi/3DS/2DS users: Overclock your DS games to 133mhz, faster than normal DS clock speed of 67mhz!
  • For DSi/3DS/2DS users: Change sound frequency from 32kHz to 48kHz for higher sound quality!
  • Directly access the flashcard's microSD card, and switch to and from there anytime!
  • Run the last played ROM on TWiLight Menu++ startup by holding B.
  • Play retro games from these popular consoles:
    • NES/Famicom, via nesDS
    • (Super) GameBoy (Color), via GameYob
    • Sega Master System/Game Gear, via S8DS
    • Sega MegaDrive/Genesis, via jEnesisDS (or PicoDriveTWL, if ROM is above 3MB) (.gen only)
    • Super Nintendo/Famicom, via SNEmulDS
    • GameBoy Advance, via GBARunner2 or the DS' native GBA mode, which the latter requires one of these Slot-2 flashcards:
      • M3
      • G6
      • SuperCard SD/MiniSD/MicroSD
      • EZ-Flash (before Omega) (Disabled by default, saving does not work)
    • See more in this list here.
  • View images/photos.
  • Play videos using FastVideoDSPlayer.
  • 3DS/2DS users: Play DS games in 16:10 widescreen! Not all games will work with this feature.
    (Find the tab "3DS/2DS: Playing in Widescreen" for how to use this feature.)

nds-bootstrap: Running DSiWare on DS lite

(Old video with the SRLoader name)

Download (See here for skins)
If you have a DS⁽ⁱ⁾, or a 3DS/2DS without CFW, you'll need a DSiWare exploit to run TWiLight Menu++.
Also works with flashcards. Please check the instructions for flashcard users.

NOTE: If you have any issues happening in the DS games themselves on the SD card, please post in the nds-bootstrap thread.

Instructions

Installing​



NOTES:
  • Please check this list for what games work and do not work from the SD card.
    If you're running the game from a flashcard, then you won't need this, unless if you're running B4DS (nds-bootstrap for flashcards).
