Hi all, just wondering if there is a way to check if a nds rom is working or not on the pc. I am waiting for the m3 simply to arrive & have got some nds roms. How will i know if they are going to work on the ds? thanks.

use a ds emulator. it will crash at some point, but at least u'll know if it's worth bothering.
btw, where do you get the backups? i use ds-rom-news(http://drn.dl.am/). they always work for me. also, watch out for bad roms (homebrew usually), use moonshell to check for them (homebrew can be spotty when used on the simply however; some work, most don't)

jgarces07:The shoulder buttons on my DS (not Lite) are not working. Any advice?
nintenut:This is going to sound a bit odd, but it works, put your lips around the trigger and blow really hard, it works.
bee_cup: My DS Lite L button don't work...
nintenut: Put your mouth on it and blow, gets the dust out, and sounds obscene!

1. DeSmuME (the best)
2. DS iDeaS
3. Nintendo Ensata
4. DualiS DS
5. DSemu (F4)
~from ndsemulator.com~

you just search the roms you want, dl it, open up the .zip folder, open up the containing folder, open up the other .zip folder; and there you have it, the backup. it's named like this [XYZ-TRM.NDS]. when the game's name would be Xxxxx Yyy Zzzzzzz and the ripper would be "trashman" that's why you get the "-TRM..."(may also be at the front). so you may want to change the name to something a little more descriptive; not too much of a hassle(and do all caps because some homebrew/backups do all caps, and that gives them higher priority on the list, making them appear first). from what i've seen, they are the same backups from nintendo ds roms(a trusted site) since the files from the same rippers are being used, i assume. i use this site because i didn't want to get eMule installed and all. i would assume it has the same quality as ndsroms.

no. completely wrong. pc emulators are not for testing roms, they are used for testing homebrew.
just check a compatability list to see if the rom works or not.
