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.

Oh! For Pokemon D&P, what are the requirements to get it running? Do I need an actual DS cartridge for a donor? I've never used this program before since Ace Attorney, Pokemon, or Zelda haven't worked previously.

The donor is a ROM file, which the arm7 binary is pulled from. So all you need is a ROM file of MKDS obtained through any means.

Ah that explains a lot. Sorry for my confusion, I haven't got the slightest idea on how this works until just recently. ^^; Thanks shutterbug!

Try turning console output "On (with Debug)".

@Robz8 Can you provide a link for the unofficial build of nds-bootstrap?
I don't want to connect my 3DS to the internet while having homebrew installed.
