Do i need any extra software to run homebrew on ds? any help will be appreciated

[rrg]

With the MAX dock just double tap on the .nds homebrew file in the directory.

:D Thanks for the help

[andrewsullivan]

do most homebrew games work on it?

[rrg]

I might have miss read the subject but under this Datel thread I assume you have something like the Datel device Max Media Dock.

So just add a compact flash to it or the HDD that comes with it and you are ready to use homebrews. I have the NDS-lite and have had no trouble yet running homebrews.

thanks again:D ;) :) :cool:

I've run into quite a few programs where I've had problems.

I'd like to, but haven't been able to run:

DSOrganize
DSLinux
Win2DS
DeSmuME (only because it doesn't have a .nds version)
and others

Any help would be apreciated

Did you try running those through Max Overload first?

[BlaXun]

as Far as I know Max Overload is only for copyrighted roms...or am I wrong??? o,O

[Scatropolis]

Yeah I did. It gave me a "no compression found" message or something along the lines.

I was just curious, thanks for trying it.
