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... 🤔

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
