HARDWARE: NDS Lite/EZ Vi/3in1 Plus/8Gb KingstonJAP
KERNEL: 2.0 RC10/Unofficial DLDI
BUG RELATED: S8DS = Freeze at the first screen where it asks user to touch the screen or press L+R.

Hopefully someone can confirm or knows of a work around.

Best Regards

@syntax. Which version of S8DS are you using? Please post it so i can test it.

I did a quick test with S8DS 0.5 and 0.6 (with unnofficial DLDI) and menu worked OK (L+R and touch controls).

I tried 0.6, I couldn't get past the screen. It asks to press L+R or touch and nothing.

Edit: I searched for a fix and found a few others with this issue at pocket heaven.

Edit2: I should add my firmware is v5 & HW = 705.

Thanks

@syntax. So clearly this is an issue , added to the list now.

There are some general things you cand do with not working hombrew:

1)Use unofficial DLDI file (this you already did)
2)Delete whatever file related to your homebrew in ROMINI or ROMDAT.
3)Try to run the homebrew from within DSOrganize or MoonShell.

Thanks for sharing your findings.

SnemulDS: SNES emu

Well, some roms working on 1.90 beta 11 aren't working on v2.0 rc10

I am talking about hacked or edited snes roms

I tested the roms with Snemulds 0.5, 0.6 alpha 1 & 2

Can you post some rom names? (i mean those of the hacked or edited roms).

Added to the list.

HW: DS Phat (FW v3) + EZVi Kernel 2 + microSDHC Kingston 4gb 4class
I have a problem with FlashMe installer, it just gives me two blank screens.
Anyone has a solution?

Same issue with EZVi [705] v14 + k 2.0 RC10 + Transcend 4GB class 6 Korea + DSlite.
Under k1.90OB11, no problem to start flashme.nds or flashme_stealth.nds.
Also, if i launch it from moonshell 2.09 under k2.0 RC10, it works. As usual, the dldi v2 driver seems to make trouble under kernel 2.0 series.

HARDWARE: NDS Lite/EZ V+/2 GB SanDisk
KERNEL: 2.0 RC10
BUG RELATED: JabberDS - 2 white screens when trying to run. It was working before when runned from MoonShell 2, but now it's not even working using this method.

1) When try to save from "Tales Of Dragur" it will get all pixly and chrash!
2) "No place to hide" => Chrashed!
3) DoomDS doesn't run anymore!
4) "You Have To Burn The Rope DS" doesn't run
5) All Zelda homebrews chrashed! Like: "New Zelda Game"

Hardware: Ez - Flash Vi v2.0 Rc10 Kernel and v15 core update!

@popoffka; @Mbmax; @Shockah; @Jonez001.

Updating list now.

Flashme: Mbmax gave us a workaround.
DoomDS: I tried this one and works with unofficial DLDI.

As a general rule for fixes you can try with unofficial DLDI or to run within DSOrganize or MoonShell or both.
Please report if you find that some hombrew works with some workaround.

I just finished some testing on problematic hombrews. As you can see unnofficial DLDI, MoonShell and DSOrganize are your best friends. With the remaining i give some briefing:

New Zelda Game: I couldnt find a working download link.
SnemulDS: I dont know how to test this compatibility issue. No specific games where mentioned.
S8DS and DS linux: I dont have a EZVi. I cant tell if there are any improvements or workarounds for those.
Moonshell 2: Can anyone provide a link to a progresive jpeg?.
Stella DS: I havent try this one yet.
fmsxDS 0.09: I cant read the menu so i cant test it.

EZ Vi 705

Stella DS - Doesn’t support long file names so the game selection menu can be messed up, but the top screen where the game is displayed has garbage. This doesn't occur on the orginal R4.

SnemulDS - I can't see how compatibility could be worst, I don't think this is an EZ problem.

NewZelda - Doesn't work (when expanded named newzelda.nds).

S8DS and DS linux - Not working

@syntax. Thank you for testing!

Just to see how bad those issues are: Have you tried unnofficial DLDI, DSOrganize or MoonShell2 tricks?

Thanks again!
