I can get ScummVM to load, in the directory it gives me a whole bunch of files labled A-F to load up to load up the ScummVM program. But I can't get any games to work for it. I tried to get Beneath A Steel Sky to work on it by downloading it from that site linked but ScummVM says, can't find any games. I'm using R4 if that helps. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Each build (A-F) supports a different set of games.
Ooh snap. Thanks dude now I get it. I'll try it when I get home.
Also what ever happened on the Duke on homebrew? I heard that somebody had Duke Nukem 3D working but without sound. Has that developed further since? I'd love Duke Nukem on the go, but I'd cut off my own dick for Blood on the DS so if that has been homebrewed and I don't know the first person to link me gets fellated to death.
Man, this is brilliant. I'm currently typing while listening to some awesome music. Great quality too, when I use my headphones.
The DSoganize internet browser is teh suxxors though. About the only thing I can see myself doing on it is looking at GameFAQs guides.

I did some downloading and directory making and patching... but the SD card my roomate gave me dosen't fit in... the bit that goes in the bottom of the DS... at all.
Yeah, it's a tight fit, you need to push it a bit. That's normal for that card.

The card he gave me was one of these
But without the side bit. So... yeah it fits a usb port... but obviously I'm missing the side bit and that's what I need (I think) so I'm going to have to wait for him to come home and find it.

So I see there's an executable for if your card provides extra ram. Does my card provide extra ram? It's a supercard lite.

No.
Extra RAM is a Slot 2 device. You can get them with built in GBA homebrew software and a rumble motor from...somewhere, I forget. But, yeag, it goes in where the GBA carts go, like the one that comes with the Opera browser.

It works, but it's a lower framerate than DS DOOM, and the sound is so bad you probably just want to turn it off. You do still need the original files from the game. I got mine off an old PC Gamer cover CD, from when they were giving away full versions of classic games!

Question, what the hell is that red button on the main menu for? The one in the upper right hand corner with an R in it that when you click it, it turns green?
When green that enables a bit of resident code that lets you hold down some buttons to reset back to the R4DS menu, instead of having to power all the way off and on again. It causes problems with some executables (very few) so you get an option to enable and disable it.

My R4 tops out at 2 GB. I assume they all do but I stopped following recent hardware developments after I got mine, around the time of that recent Woot 2 GB microSD card sale.

How long ago did you update, I have the version 1.18 software. If somebody could verify, it would save me going out and purchasing a 4gig stick and then following that purchase with a loud "FUCK".
and then following that purchase with a loud "FUCK".

On another note, Lone Wolf is fan-fucking-tastic. One of the fews homebrews I felt justified a donation. I definitely want to see more chapters, and more of other gamebooks.
I don't think SDHC support can be added with a software patch. Unless you find something that proves me wrong, you should assume the R4 tops out at 2 GB.

Everything I have heard is that the R4 is limited to 2gb and always will be, without a hardware revision.
Sweet, thanks for the info. So hardware revision? You mean no firmware patch can fix that?
The loader in the R4 can't be updated with a firmware update (which is what you would need for SDHC compatibility) so if you buy an R4, you will never be able to use an SDHC card.
Technically, SDHC is the new format the Secure Digital foundation came up with to support capacities greater than 2GB. Unfortunately, they came up with it some time after many people had already started making cards with capacities bigger then 2GB anyway, essentially by hacking the old format. And the SDHC standard is different to that hacked format. So, SDHC cards are guaranteed to work in SDHC readers but not all large SD cards are SDHC so they are not. Oh and some cheap-ass bastards are sticking the SDHC logo on non-compliant shit and selling it for cheaps in China.
Just postin' to say I am absolutely loving playing Quake1, original and both expansions, and also Quake2, on my DS.
After I make my way through these, I'm gonna start hitting up some of the best Quake1 TCs (I just tried nehahra, but I get some weird texture size errors).

Before you read on, you should note that to play the quake1 expansion, you will need a RAM expansion. It seems as though they use just too much RAM to work without a ram expansion (in fact, scourge of armagon starts up and even plays the gameplay demo, but fails to find enough memory to start a new game).
Short version:
For Scourge of Armagon make a directory in your MicroSD root called "hipnotic". Put the Scourge of Armagon pak0.pak in there, and a copy of your config.cfg from the id1 folder. Then, make a file called qdsopts.txt in your MicroSD root with the contents: "-game hipnotic". That's it. Run QuakeDS.nds and it will be in scourge of armagon mod.
Same thing for Dissolution of Eternity, except the folder name should be "rogue", and the txt file contents "-game rogue".

So any time you want to play one of those you have to swap it out, you can't just have access to regular Quake and each expansion?

To the best of my knowledge, yes, you have to manually change the txt file.
However, you can hold L down during QuakeDS boot to get it to ignore the qdsopts.txt and boot in to regular Quake1. I also find it is convenient to use DSOrganise to edit the txt file, so I don't have to manually do it at a PC.

Seriously, the R4 is overpriced crap getting by solely on name recognition.
Yeah I bought it on recommendation from a friend and in frenzy of "oh noes ninty gonna ban flash carts" fervor.. since then I've looked at some other carts and had a friend that ordered a very nice cart from canada (name escapes me at the moment) and I regret it a little. I'm sure the R4 will be fine for me though, I probably won't even use it that much but I would like to check out the homebrew.

I don't want to say never, but I am near 100% certain.
