Hey everyone!
So I currently have a REALLY old R4 for my DS Lite. Ik there are some DSi hacks but except using a R4, can I hack a DS Lite somehow? Thank you :D

Play DS (and GBA) games, I can't imagine emulating NDS games especially to some select titles that makes use of the entire NDS control schemes and design. (e.g TWEWY)

Also you can fw the DS homebrew library

Hi I've just recently found my daughter old DS lite and R3 3DS card in the loft

I've just started loading Sega, Nintendo and similar games to use in it for long haul flights etc as it's small and easy to carry around

The only issue I have is I have jenesisDS 0.7.4 which seemed great but save states don't work :-(

I hate playing games on a phone and prefer the old school feel (makes me feel young again) using games like Mortal Kombat, TMNT, Sonic, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage etc, so this is ideal imo and the tablet remains for movies etc

Indeed it is. You can only save within a game, when (and if) it is possible to do so. This is not a big deal, or is it?

To this day this emulator on DS arouses awe, because of the care and precision with which it was created and made perfect for the poor, weak and emaciated DS. Same goes for NeoDS (NeoGeo emulator): both two unparalleled works of art. Enjoy.

it is a great emulator but save states not working ever for me which is a pain as I use it in long haul flights and just end up repeating the same parts of games over and over lol

Are you aware of a way to get the older version (v6) as apparently that didn't have the issue and I'd love to try it

The snes ones I've tried don't work that well either, prob more a ds lite issue as you mention

I know where to find things. I've been using the same sites since 2009 when I first got my TTDS and a FAT Blue DS in the flea market.
But I doubt an old version would fix the save state issues.
Also, let's not deviate this thread.

Come to think of it, if I remember correctly, the author had given up implementing save states in the final version because they occasionally caused corruption of the entire SD card, as reported by several users. So @DC2-CJH , use it at your own risk. ⚠️
