 Post subject: Loading DS roms onto an EZFlash II?
PostPosted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 5:04 pm 
Thread title says it all really, I was going to wait for the technology to improve but I ordered a MagicKey from Ebay because they were going for only 10 Euros...

So, anyone know how its done? I tried it with EZClient but it doesnt even see the DS Roms, is there a program out there that does it or do I need some kind of workaround? I have a 256 Mb EZ-Flash II by the way, thanks...

You will need a version of EZClient 3.20 or above and you should then be able to write (and have EZClient patch roms on the fly).

The Wiki on this site is likely worth a read:

And although it is linked from the article above this thread shows you some easy ways to get DS roms down in size to work on your EZ2 (or any other flashcart)

Oh and once you have a DS you will likely want to run flashme:

I have a similiar question about my EZFlash II 256Mb so I wont bother making a new thread:

Do I take it that its standard procedure to patch every rom with NDSPatch first before you load them onto the cart? Or should I burn them as .nds first and then patch them to .gba if they dont work in their original configuration?

EZClient (and EZManager for that matter) automatically patches the roms, should a rom not work with EZClient and you choose to use NDSPatcher or loadme to patch your rom you will have to rename it with a .gba extension use no loader and make sure the patching type is set to disabled, the reason for the .gba extension to circumvent the patching mechanisms of EZClient.

Under the system config menu of EZClient there will be an option saying "use loader" and on EZClient 3.20 and up you will have another option saying "Use Nds Loader".

Make sure neither are checked, if you get an popup box saying please use Nds loader just try opening the rom again and it will work.
