I was wondering...
Is there any possibility of making a small NDS homebrew ROM that run the NDS game on the SLOT-1? That would be great for any flashcard users: put it on our cards and when we need to use a NDS game switch directly without rebooting the system holding SELECT (FlashMe) or disable the PassMe.

I already suggested this, someone had a look at fwnitro but the code from that wouldnt work off a flashcart

I bet it's not too hard for people that know what they're doing though..

:(

I'll take a look if i can use the slot-1 as another source for the exec_stub.

I had a look in the documentations and some example codes.
The slot1 will not be suported as boot source, unless it is a fatlib device.

The effort needed is in no relation to the effect it has. For homebrewers who want to start the nds card, i recomment to just reboot (swi 0) the DS and let the user select the DS slot.
