Hello. I am looking for a way to run DS Homebrew (specifcally DSx86) on No$GBA. DSx86 requires access to files outside of the nds rom itself, as it is meant to be run on a flashcart. I am trying to run DSx86 on No$GBA and dont know how to or where to put these outside files so they will run. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Forgive my curiosity. Why? What is the point of using an emulator within an emulator? Moreover, DSx86 is very slow and with very low compatibility, as well as very inconvenient. You can easily find dosbox for PC and Android devices with more appreciable results.

Desmume does support such things.

If you must though then for DLDI homebrew (what most things that access the SD card will use) there is something known as FCSR that allows you to append a drive image to the homebrew and use that as a read only version.

DLDIRC was a program that could handle the building of such things. Not sure if we have something more modern though

Because I would like to test out DSx86 before I run it on real hardware.

NO$GBA doesn't support that. You'll need a different emulator, such as melonDS.
Really? Because here it is running fine in No$GBA!

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
