DS Flash Equipment > Problem running homebrew in my M3sd

#66316 - Xgame - Mon Jan 09, 2006 6:58 pm

hi, i' ve got an m3 Sd with a 512 MB panasonic and a 128MB sandisk for update the m3.
Video, Music, Ebook, Pictciure and some homebrew work perfect; but with a lot of homebrew program both ds screen turn of(while the green light is still on). So i turn off ds; i turn on it and i get the saving message...
Why not work?

To run on M3, homebrew needs "powerON(POWER_ALL_2D|POWER_SWAP_LCDS);"
Email the authors of the homebrew you are having problems with so that they can fix it.

Also, not all .nds files contain a built in loader, so try adding one.
copy /b ndsloader.bin + file.nds file.ds.gba

Might make a difference, M3 shouldn't need this for the homebrew to work if it's going to work though. I don't know why the bloody Supercard people wouldn't just load them right without requiring a loader.

Actually, that is exactly how I power on the system in my wolf3d port but still it works with everything but the M3.
There has to be another explanation and the makers of the M3 aren't helping me find a solution either.
