Oh man, I was expecting this to be like OOT on DS, and Perfect Dark on DS. Damn.

This must be a switch mode, to use a slot-2 cart automatically when on NDS mode... the black screen looks to me the game was being transfered to a slot - 2 Nram like EZIV lite..:).. i guess here the only hing you are doing is skipping the boot on slot-2.

I'd call BS if it wasn't by chuckstudios, a name I recognize from GBAdev. I agree with Azariel, it must be loading the game into the RAM of a supported slot-2 device, perhaps using a custom program or R4 firmware hack to do so. There's no way to boot a GBA game from slot-1 alone.

Heh, sort of right.

Hey Chuck, I can't seem to get this to work. I converted some GBA games (Doom, Mario Golf, Darius) but it seems to get stuck after the "survived FAT initialization" <- I actually can't remember what it exactly it says (I'm at work). The screen just turns blank.

I hope to get this working because you've come up with a great idea. Maybe you could include some compression in the next version? ;)

I'm on an R4DS so I don't have too. :(

Well, I found a few show-stopping bugs in the PC side app, and have fixed them for version 1.1 and added PSRAM loading. I'm just waiting on my friend to finish the Linux/Mac GUI and I will release it.

Can't you release it for us Windows users first? ;) (I actually use OSX, Linux and XP... :P)

This doesn't work without a slot 2 device still right?
If it does need a slot 2 device could you guys make it compatable with the opera web browser slot two pack because thats all i have.

It only works with an EX Flash 3-in-1. It'll probably never work with the Opera memory pack until someone discovers how to get the GBA hardware to work with it - (I'm pretty sure they never will because it wasn't made to do that).

oh~~,that's too dark,how did they do.That's too easy,because the DSlite is black,R4 is black,so they must use EZ 3IN1 in black in slot 2.than they use R4 boot EZ 3IN1.
