DS Flash Equipment > EFA won't boot DS homebrews from menu

#56566 - ryan5783 - Sun Oct 09, 2005 7:43 pm

Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to all this DS and GBA homebrew. Cool stuff. I have come across a little quirk with my EFA 256 though.

I have already used FlashMe on my DS, and it will run DS stuff, but only if I don't use the loader menu. If I uncheck the "use loader" option in the EFA Client, the DS app will run as soon as I turn on the DS.

If I try to use the loader menu to try to run a DS app, the screen turns white, and nothing happens.

Anyone else had this problem? Anything I can do to fix it?

Thank you!

EDIT: I seem to have found the answer for myself on the EFA forums. The boot menu just doesn't work with DS stuff!! Poop!

You'll need to wait for the EFA people to release either a DS-aware loader or specs on the cart's bankswitching so that the community can write its own loader.

Ah, I see. Thanks. Let's hope they release one.
