DS Flash Equipment > Troubles converting to nds.gba etc

#91473 - Diablohead - Fri Jul 07, 2006 11:51 am

Hey all, I just got my MML through the door (nearly 7 weeks after ordering and complaints!) and im now ready for the homebrew scene :D

I have an old Magic Card 256m whats fine for now as homebrew is small in size but I need to convert a lot of files to gba.nds, done searches and read a fair bit of the ds forums but can't seem to find any information to where I can find the converting tools.

Anyone able to help me out? I would be greatful.

*edit* I found tools that I need but it seems even though I can boot moonshell and use it well I just cant run nds homebrew / games, but my old flash card will hold me untill I get spare money for a supercard.

moonshell cannot launch .nds files from a flash cart.
there are only 2 ways to launch multiple .nds files from a flash cart, that i know of:
1. if your flashcart menu supports it
2. use darkain's multinds loader

The tool for converting .nds to .nds.gba is called 'dsbuild', and you can find it as part of DevKitPro. Usage: dsbuild game.nds -o game.nds.gba
