DS development > FAT writing using emulator?

#154234 - HLMetroid - Sun Apr 13, 2008 7:34 am

Is there an emulator that supports FAT writing? Or will I have to test that on a real DS?

FCSR should work for files under 24k.

desmume supports full read-write
(look for --cflash parameter in readme)

Thank you very much! Using desmume it worked perfectly.

We really need a sticky saying the state of FAT writing in emulators, which ones work, how to set it up etc. Any takers?

EDIT: not me, I'm one of the people who doesn't know what they're doing!

huh? it says in DESmuME I need to patch my .nds file with some program so libfat is enabled? I ran a homebrew nds program that reads a text file and it loads fine in DESmuME without needing it to be patched or whatever.

It's a wiki...if something is not right, fix it!
