nds-bootstrap loader: Run commercial NDS backups from an SD Card

nds-bootstrap:

Thanks to the work of ahezard, Gericom, Apache, Robz8, _catcatcat, and shutterbug2000 and other contributors, we can now load NDS games from the SD card, without any flashcard/SLOT-1 card.

Don't expect high compatibility, but do expect many, many updates.

Patience. He's not obligated to work on this, and in the grand scheme of things, there are more important things to worry about. Give it time.

Well, we are all waiting patiently, some (myself included) wanted to know if he actually remembered he was working on this.
I think we all understand that while he's not "Obligated" to do anything, he could at least throw a word and tell us what's going on with him, right?.

Either way, nothing to do but to wait...

The reply was only meant for the person I quoted; nothing wrong with requesting an update.

Indeed it's probably on hold for some reason, maybe a lost of interest in the project, who know.
Anyway thanks for the work done on it, just the fact to know once and for all that YES, the 3DS is able to load nds file was worth it!! :)

I'm happy with the fact that I can listen to the nostalgic soundtrack of Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky from the actual 3DS instead from an emulator.
For me that's more than enough, if they want to continue with the project and make many more games work... well that's up to them.

Yes, he "could at least" let us know what's going on with him, his disappearance is indeed a bit worrying (for me at least).
Hopefully you're not trying to attack what I said back then, because it certainly sounds like so...

Come on people, I am not trying to start anything here, I just stated my worries and nothing else. :mellow:
AND, as I stated earlier, I am happy with the current state of the project, I can at least listen to certain game music from the 3DS, and that's enough for me.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
