SRLoader? is that how the NDSBootstrap is called for DSi?

Aside of that, good job, I hope we can see some improvements soon

SRLoader? is that how the NDSBootstrap is called for DSi?

SRLoader is another frontend for nds-bootstrap.
It's a DSi counterpart of TWLoader, and loading a .nds file is quicker, since it all runs in TWL mode.

SRLoader v1.0.0 - Now with DSi Menu theme!

What's new?

• Fully working DSi Menu theme is added! It's black, so it's similar to the Wii's SD Card Menu.
• Username is now shown in the DS/3DS themes.
• On startup, hold START on the logo screen to go to settings.

Changes/Improvements

• On startup, instead of pressing START to go to the ROM select screen, you'll wait 2 seconds.
• Default ROM location is now "sd:/roms/nds/", the same location TWLoader uses.

Todo

• DSi Menu theme: Add page switching, in case there's more than 39 games.
• DSi Menu theme: Add "?" icon if there's no banner found.

EDIT:

SRLoader v1.0.1

What's new?

• Added option to show/hide SRLoader logo on startup.
• Game TID checking from save creation mode is ported from TWLoader to SRLoader.

Improvement/Bug fix

• DSi Menu: The launching animation now finishes before the selected ROM is started. It is followed by white screens to hide a graphical glitch when starting a ROM.

How???? How sound was done??

How???? How sound was done??

The touch screen mode switch code can enable sound. It's based on nocash's log for the mode switch from the Launcher (DSi Menu).

Woah can this play DS roms through the SD card?

On the DSi, yes.
For the 3DS, we have TWLoader.

Wait, how do you play DS roms from SD Card on DSi?

 

[RocketRobz]

Wait, how do you play DS roms from SD Card on DSi?

You need an exploit such as sudokuhax installed on the DSi.

 

[mario-lucis-caelum]

Does TWLoader fully support all roms?

 

[RocketRobz]

Does TWLoader fully support all roms?

nds-bootstrap, the backend of both SRLoader and TWLoader, does not support all ROMs yet.

Can you use a Cyclo DSi in DSi mode instead of an exploit?

 

[RocketRobz]

Can you use a Cyclo DSi in DSi mode instead of an exploit?

No, because when you launch a Slot-1 card on a DSi, SD access is disabled.

Oh then just stick to r4 cards then?

 

[RocketRobz]

Oh then just stick to r4 cards then?

Early games such as Super Mario 64 DS and MegaMan ZX work.
But if you want to play all of the ROMs, then yes, stick to the R4 cards.

 

[Oleboy555]

So the only way to get roms to load from SD card on a dsi is through sudokuhax?

 

[Dionicio3]

You need an exploit such as sudokuhax installed on the DSi.

Aww man, too bad I didn't get sudoko when it was up. Is there any way to get sudoko now?

You can using nandmod. You can ask @metroid maniac for more info.
