Whenever I launch SNEmulDS (which btw I downloaded from GameBrew) an error shows:

FS initialization...
FS failure, continue anyway...

It then launches into the app just fine, but no ROMs appear when I go to the select ROM area.
I have tried keeping the ROM inside a folder on the root of the SD card called /snes/ <- all lowercase, btw, and also keeping the ROM (which is Super Mario RPG) on the root of the SD card. None of which seem to work. (the rom file is a .sfc file)
I also have the emulator itself and its .cfg file on the root of the SD card. I read on some other threads to put some patches but none of them
a) explain how to apply the patch
b) have working links to the patch's download site.
Any help with this is really appreciated!
Also, if this helps, I use an R4i Kernel for my OS (idk anything about DS homebrew, but I've tried installing YSMenu from GameBrew but it doesn't work)

Nextly, GBARunner2. GBARunner2 launches into a white screen and just stays there. No error, no nothing. So I have no idea what to do.
I usd both Arm9 and Arm7 but to no avail.
I use a rose gold DS Lite

My conjecture is that your flashcard is very old, or am I wrong? If so, I suggest you buy another one. Nowadays Chinese clones (not very durable but very efficient) are almost given away, or rather they'll pay you if you get them out of their way. 🤣

Then it is very strange. Usually old and new versions of these emulators work "out of the box" without any problem on the most popular flashcards. Evidently yours is a particular one... 🤔

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
