I'm working on a minishell (texmode like midnight commander). Cause it take too much time always testing on a real NDS I tried to run it on DeSmuME.
I was very astonished to see this emulator can really do directory listing from my PC harddisk with normal libfat commands!!!
How does it work? Does it emulate an slot 2 hardware like supercard? Or is there an integrated special DLDI for emulators?

I'm pretty sure it emulates a GBAMP, at least dualis does.

that is a fine feature for homebrew development!

Which version of DeSmuME are you using?

Yeah, the newer Desmume release(s) emulate a GBAMP, but only the ROM's directory is available.

Recent versions of Desmume have two versions of GBAMP emulation. The default version will try to emulate the FAT image for the directory of the .nds file. This can have problems (sub directory do not work under Linux) and it does not support writing.
The second emulation uses a disk image file. This supports full reading and writing and the disk image does not have to be FAT format. You enable this version of GBAMP emulation using the --cflash command line option. See this desmume forum thread for more information.
The second emulation works well. I used it, along with the GDB stub in desmume, to develop FlickBook DS.
If you are a Windows user, the biggest problem with the second approach is creating and populating the disk image. I wrote a Java application to do this but it is limited (again see the desmume forum thread).
