DS development > Booting .nds programs?

#137605 - calcprogrammer1 - Mon Aug 13, 2007 10:37 pm

I'm wondering how hard it would be to implement the Chishm loader into my File Browser app. I would really like to use it because it can load from all cards, and I was thinking that you could make a program that could boot an NDS from either SLOT 1 OR SLOT 2 without having to passme over to slot-2, just load the .nds as-is. Is it possible?

I was looking at Chishm's loader myself, it seems there are only a coupld of files to include. I'm using palib myself, so I have no experience with arm7 (palib takes care of sound, touch screen and wifi) I hope it wont be too hard to do. It seems like a useful feature for your browser to have, I wish you luck.

How compatible is chishm's loader anyway?

I'm using PAlib as well, I want the Chishm loader because it's used in DSOrganize and is compatible with all cards. Where did you get the source? If I had the source or library to include, I might be able to get it running.

Is this the exec stub you're looking for?

thats because there are some problems sometimes where the arm7 doesn't always initiate properly. You could try DragonMinded's updated one.
