Help with DS85?

Sooooo, I have done everything the readme files have said to do, I have succesfully renamed the rom file to ti85.rom, placed in in root, and started up the DS85, only yo get the following messege:

GFX Init!
fat init: 0
malloc cpu: 20348f8 reset:
reset cpu. malloc ram: 2034930
open /ti85.rom for read
libfat open fail!
looking for append: 8100000

ERROR: Could not locate ROM!

Is this a Supercard-specific problem the coder never dealt with, or what? Anybody else having the same troubles?

Works fine for me on my Supercard miniSD.  Does other FAT homebrew fail for you?  As a test, try SNEmulDS v0.4 Alpha patched with the standard Supercard SD DLDI file from http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI and see if it can detect your SNES roms in the "SNES" folder.  If it fails, try patching with the SCSD_moon.dldi file, which is linked to at http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/DLDI

If the regular one fails and the _moon one works, then I don't think it's fixable, as that means that the libfat code does not work on your Supercard.  The problem is described in more detail on that wiki page I linked to.

You could probably also just use the DLDI tester program from the DLDI homepage instead of SNEmulDS, though I haven't personally tested it.

EDIT:  to get this particular piece of homebrew to work, there are instructions for making a non-FAT image in the ReadMe.  Try those and see if it works.
