A new hotfix update has been released for nds-bootstrap, the open-source application that allows you to use Nintendo DS/DSi ROMs and homebrew applications natively, without having to resort to an emulator.

The program works on Nintendo DSi and 3DS SD cards via Custom Firmware and on Nintendo DS via Flashcard.

The standalone version of nds-bootstrap does not require the use of a frontend, as it uses an ini file to load its parameters, although using a frontend is highly recommended.

TWiLight Menu++ serves as a frontend for nds-bootstrap . This frontend offers 7 customizable launchers, including the ability to run emulators and other homebrew.

Additionally, it provides anti-piracy patches for games and automatically configures nds-bootstrap for each individual game, with customizable options.

The update only fixes the anti-piracy patch for Pokémon: Refined Gold Coarse (v4.0.4).

Installation

• To install nds-bootstrap, download the archive.
• Extract the .ndsnds-bootstrap files into the root:/_nds/.
• For TWLMenu++ users , extract the file .verinto the folder root:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/(only when you are updating nds-bootstrap, as it is included in TWiLight Menu++).

ROM Compatibility

nds-bootstrap supports most DS ROMs, with some exceptions (see the compatibility list ).

• From nds-bootstrap you can enhance your gaming experience with cheats and faster loading times than with regular cartridges (for games that support such features).
• Game saving is supported and will be saved with the extension .sav, and .pubor .prvfor DSiWare.
• Anti-piracy patches can be loaded via IPS files, but are not included in the software itself.
• nds-bootstrap also supports many homebrew applications, including games like DSCraft (please check the compatibility list above).

B4DS mode (result of running nds-bootstrap on DS-mode flashcard with locked SCFG or DS Phat/lite):

• It supports some DS ROMs, and you can increase compatibility by inserting a DS Memory Expansion Pak.
• From version 0.50.2 it is also possible to launch Nintendo DSi+Internet, see the list of supported DSiWare titles .
