Running emulators on an M3 card?

[wavemotion]

So a friend has a DS-Lite with an M3 card. He has an SD card that shows other (older) homebrews but he was trying to install some of my emulators starting with ColecoDS.nds but he tried putting the .nds file in the root and also in a sub-directory and it doesn't seem to show up in the launcher for his card.

I'm not familiar with the M3 - don't know what firmware it has (I've only used cheap R4 clones and, of course, SD cards via Unlaunch or the Camera exploit to run TWL++).

Any obvious thoughts? Anyone use an M3 card on a DS-Lite and managed to get any of my emulators running?

Thanks much in advance!

Maybe the kernel doesn't support displaying newer homebrew for whatever reason?
Has he tried installing TWiLight Menu++ on his M3 card?

Hi Dave hope you're fine

I had a similar problem on my R4s (which are quite old), to get around this problem, I have different launchers installed on my flashcard, has your friend tried to install HBmenu 0.7.1 or a version more recent ?

By using hbmenu, you bypass the original launcher which is perhaps not compatible with recent libraries and you switch to a launcher compatible with recent libraries, tools & bootloaders, you can try with hbmenu or indeed like Rob said it should work with TWL++ if you run it with YSmenu

Great suggestions, guys! I'll pass this along!

I don't want to change the topic, but I was wondering if you're able to replace M3 Sakura on an M3 Card with TwilightMenu++. I got that on 3ds, and I'm wondering if I were to replace Sakura with TwilightMenu it would make things run much better on there instead.

I'll test it with my M3 Simply and let you know.

Thanks all - he was able to get the emulators running with the suggestions here.
