DS Misc > Demos work in emulator, not hardware

#164563 - strat - Fri Nov 07, 2008 10:25 am

I made some DS demos that bypass libnds to better grasp the hardware. They work in nocash and ideas but when I finally got a media card and tried them on hardware they were totally blank. In making these demos I compared my code with libnds code to make sure things would work. Then it hit that I forgot to check the arm7 file. So I just want to ask, is proper start up of the arm7 necessary to run on hardware, or could it be a different problem?

You are most likely forgetting to set up power to the/enable devices.

Emulators tend to be forgivefull for that, while the actual hardware would still be not available.
