Homebrew 1942ds

[callmebob]

Sorry, bump of sorts. I originally posted this in the Homebrew News section, but it was already a tad bit old, and it got no response, so I thought I might get an answer if I "reposted" in a different (more often read) section.

Hope someone can help me here.

I´m using a CycloDS Evolution FW 1.53 with an 8GB SanDisk SD card.

I´ve placed the 1942.nds file at the root of my sd card, but it doesn´t show up in my games list.

I have also tried pre-dldi patching it before putting it on the card, with the same results.

I put the roms in a folder named MAMERoms, but I don´t think that has anything to do with the .nds file not showing up in the games list.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

callmebob, I've got a CycloDS as well, just dropped the 1942.nds file from here into the folder I have for Homebrew, and it's visible on the list. So I'm not sure what's going on with yours....erm...you did remember to extract it out of the .7z file ;0)

Only snag I'm having is that once the homebrew game starts I can't start the version of 1942 that I have.

Update: fixed that problem, have updated the instruction on this DS1942 page.

Thanks all who tried to help

, but I´ve figured it what´s wrong, and you might not believe this!!

Before I was trying to play it on a SanDisk 8GB SD card, and it wouldn´t show up.

Tried the same files on a Transcend 4GB SD card and presto! Shows up and works as advertised.

Unfortunately I have no other cards to play around with, but if you do, feel free to try and duplicate what happens with me, and maybe check if this occurs with other cards as well!
