You need to attach a loader to the *.nds file or rename and use the *.ds.gba file if one is included. You can attach a loader with dsbuild, included in devkitARM or Moonshell. Alternatively, I do believe Moonshell will now boot *.nds files.

Yes rename *.ds.gba file to *.ds.nds

Are you sure? If that is true it's very good news to me! I'm still running version 0.9 moonshell.

Do I use Super Card program to load it on the sd card or can I just copy it over?

Yes I am sure. Don't attach a loader to an *.nds binary and run it.

Supercard patcher software is only for commercial game roms.

DO NOT use the sc patching software for homebrew.
just copy it straight over the to sd card

You're an idiot. Why do you make a thread asking for help, ignore all the replies then continue to ask?

Acky your a ass, I did what everybody said all I get is 2 white screens so STFU!!!!!!!!!

rick what homebrew are you trying to run?
heres the step by step for MOST homebrew

ok now if that doesnt work then reply and say so
note*:if there is no .ds.gba version download moonshell or devkitpro and use the included dsbuild.exe
note**:how to use dsbuild.exe:put .nds file into same folder as dsbuild.exe, drag .nds file into dsbuild.exe and follow above steps

As a test, download this simple game demo Duck Hunt . . .

http://nintendo-ds.dcemu.co.uk/duckhunt.shtml

Rename file duckhunt.ds.gba to duckhunt.ds.nds and then copy it directly to your CF/SD. Does it run?

Not yet at least. :wink:
But really though rick, If you would have read the replies more carefully, you would've gotten your solution much quicker.
