This question may have already been posted by someone else, if so sorry i didn't find it.
I recently bought the Supercard/Superkey/1gbSD bundle from Realhotstuff.com.

Question:
Can i run my DS and GBA roms from folders on my SD card?

Example:
root/gba
root/ds

Just curious because its getting to be a rather long list of games to cycle through in the root directory.

Thanx for the help!

yep, i run my ds games out of root/games/ds games and it works fine. only thing i have to run from root is moonshell, ds organize and dsdoom

[Pikamus]

dammit.. you bet me to the reply..

i can second that...
no problem in running in folders..
Infact i recommend it
/Ds
/gba
/nes
and so forth

enjoy

[Plaz30]

cool, thanks bud.
It wont effect my save's will it? I assume i keep the save files with the roms right?

[squall51489]

if the saves are in teh same dir as the roms you should be 100% fine

[Musulsa]

Yes, keep the .sav files in the same folder as the roms.

I'll sort them all out then. thanks fella's

That seems to work for games, but when I put homebrew stuff (like moonshell, reinmoon) etc. into a subfolder, it can't seem to access its support files. Only if it's in the root, and I cant find anywhere to set this otherwise.

I really want to be able to have a "Homebrew" folder for all of these apps and their miscelleny of support files I don't want clogging up my root folder.

You can put moonshell, beup and DSO in another folder like root/homebrew. As long as the folders that come with dso and moonshell are in the root. And since they're hidden, they won't end up clogging your root folder.

A way I hide folders so they aren't visble from the supercard menu is to tick the "archive" box on the folder properties.
But I have yet to learn if "archive" affects anything else, everything works fine for me.

Can someone comfirm this works for all supercards?

I can run my gba games from a subfolder in nds mode without any problems.
