Here is a video it’s not working sadly. Im not sure why do you think it’s because I’m on dsi? Or maybe SD size is too big? Thanks for your help btw

Using a DSi does not matter.
Try reformatting your flashcard's SD using this guide: https://dsi.cfw.guide/sd-card-setup.html
If this doesn't work, idk what else to do.

Ahh I just did that and it still doesn't work. I have no idea why. I know I am asking a lot, but if you could upload whats on your SD card exactly, maybe something is missing from the pack?

I have no idea what's missing, if that's the case.

Whoa, this is pretty impressive. I didn't expect to read that a DS could play PS1 games.

I've got my Vita if I want to do that.

Works on the DS Lite ?

Works on the DS Lite ?

Yes, it does, as the DSTWO(+) flashcard works there as well.

PSX emulated on DS: is it really possible? Even with that flashcart it looks incredible.
Like forcing poor late Ayrton Senna to race on top of a tricycle.

It sadly doesn't work, I have tested on two ds two cards it just doesn't work at all. Did you ever manage to get it working?

@VatoLoco Could you help please I can't get it working - tested on two dstwo cards both go to black screen.

It has always worked for me, so I don't know what you mean.

Have you configured the emulator correctly? If not, then that's probably the issue.

How would one do that, when the emulator doesn't open?

Just guessing, that might be why.

You tried reformatting the SD card? Make sure that it's FAT32 (32kb cluster).

Having the same issue as Hello1236, just a black screen when I load ds linux, I've tried on a blank SD card with DSTWO software and my standard one and got the issue on both.

Really would appreciate if you could copy the contents of an SD card where it works, but that I understand if thats too much work

how to fry your dsi at home.

 

[Hello1236]

I still can't get this to work on my DSTWO (black screen). I have had this working on my Ismart MM card since 2015 though. I just posted footage of Spyro 3 (PSX) on my DSI to reddit (). I would love to also get this to work on the DS Two but it seems impossible for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Quite ridiculous. It runs in slow motion and is clearly unplayable. But as a proof of concept it is quite remarkable.

Hint: You could have cheated us and sped up the playback of your clip.

I would love it if we got a DS/DSi flashcart that had an FPGA chip that could take in FPGA cores, similar to the analogue pocket. Then we could get nearly-flawless game system replication. I wouldn't even care how much the cart sticks out of the system to make it happen either. Hell, stick the extra 8MB of RAM in that bitch too, just for good measure.

I’m going to try again tonight to get it to work on my DSTwo to see if it’s any better than on my IsmartMM, but each time I try on my DSTwo I get a black screen when opening the Linux.

You should try these settings for psx4all :

Show FPS : OFF
Set NULL GPU : ON
Cycle Multiplier : 4

For your DSTwo, it looks like two kinds of bugs, in order :

1. Try this solution to fix your DSTwo Linux :

2. if the first solution doesn't wortk try to reformat your sd card and reinstall DSTwo Linux
