NDS problem!

[Shy Guy]

Hi, I've tryied a NDS emulator with my rom of Wario Ware Touched (.nds) and it shows me a black screen! Now, I don't want to download another rom to try, because you know, the nds size is about 120 mb... If someone could help me, I have no ideia about this! There's a way to know the problem? Thanx.

well at this point in time there are no ds emulators that can run commercial games.

[Shy Guy]

Sorry, but I dont understand. The roms are in the internet avaible for download and there's no NDS emulator that run them? Well, so why they put ''NDS emulators'' in the internet that can't run the .nds files? Why exist softwares with the description of NDS emulator? And why exist roms in .nds format at all? Thank you.

They exist because they've been dumped and I think it's
a posibility to play them somehow on actual NDS...but I'm not sure.

And for the emulators all of them are in WIP mode just because
programmers don't know yet all of the NDS feautures and most
of all the documentation of NDS is not yet fully known (processor
architecture, opcodes, ROM file format, etc).

So generally you'll have to wait some time to get your commercial games
to work fully on emulators...

Yeah, keep those ROMs and wait for an emulator that can run them.

Oh, but when NDS emulators play the roms, it will play the rom that I have in my computer now? And I think you can play NDS roms in the console by a flash card (???). Thank u!

Yes. I'm sure of that. Some of the best NDS emu's already
show some screens from comercial games but don't play them at
all for now.

And I think you can play NDS roms in the console by a flash card (???). Thank u!

That's what I've been thinking too if it's avaliable for GBA it
may as well be avaliable for NDS, but confirmation of expert
is needed to that question.

Im not expert... but MasJ has done it so yes.

there are flash cards now available for the DS that will play those roms. Though they can be quite expensive. You'll find lots of roms and isos for systems that are not emulated they're there for collectors and also to help emu authors create the emus we enjoy useing.

[Shy Guy]

Thanx a lot! So now I'm just waiting an NDS emulator. Until this, I will be playing my GBA roms. Emuparadise rox
