Please help me get DrummerS (and other homebrew) working.

Hey,

I have an SD SC, and I came across the "DrummerS" app.

I was immediately in awe, because I love the drums and am even currently making a drumset in flash.

So, to get to the point, I got it, and got dual white-screens.

All I did was download the zip at the bottom, and put "Drummers.nds" onto the SD.

I'm assuming there's something I'm doing wrong, (or something I'm not doing) so if anyone can get this working on an SC SD, (and tell me how, of course) it'd be most appreciated!

I also have the same dual white-screen problem with several other homebrew .nds files. (although about half of them work, I guess I'm doing SOMETHING wrong.)

Thanks, and peace out grandma.  :D

There's also second file, with ".ds.gba" extention. Rename it to ".nds" and it should work.

To explain it a little better, pure .nds files don't have any loader code in them while .ds.gba files do. The problem is supercard loads all files that end in .gba as if they were GBA games and that's why you have to rename them to .nds.

Thanks guys! I just tried that right before I saw this, too. ;) (Maybe it was because the last time I was on, it was about 4 A.M.?)

But yeah, I get it now, thanks.

How come the pure .nds files are included then, if they don't work and you just have to rename the other one? It's kind of confusing.

I think because some flash cards don't need to use a loader. So they are able to use that .nds file without the loader.
