I want to play one of my games and stream it, however, first I need to get melonDS running. It seems that I can't because each time I try to use the DSi mode, it tries to boot into normal DS mode, which doesn't have any bios or firmware files saved. How do I force it to boot into DSi mode? |

you need to set it to DSi mode in the emulation settings. DSi mode does also require DS-mode BIOSes. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

you can dump them from a DSi, see the melonDS 0.9 post for the link to the BIOS dumper ____________________ Kuribo64 |

I used that one and it crashed instantly. If it matters, I am using a 3ds and the bios/firmware/nand backup was from twlmenu. It is a hacked 3ds. |

You need an actual DSi to dump the DSi files. ____________________
How to write an emulator
1. throw code to be emulated somewhere 2. make memory system that allows accessing that code 3. emulate CPU 4. have fun implementing all the other hardware -- Arisotura, Tuesday 5th January 2021, 22:00:17 |

Obtain DSi files from the 3DS |

the files you dumped aren't complete. 3DSs only contain minimal DS and DSi firmware files without the menu, as is needed by DS games/DSiWare. ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go! "clearly you need to mow more lawns and buy a better pc" - Hydr8gon |

You should be able to dump the DS-mode BIOS off a 3DS with this. You can then configure the DS files in melonDS, check "Boot game directly" and run your game. ____________________

I would agree with you but then again I used homebrew and twlmenu and not any traditional means of getting the bios files.
Edit: came out too late, this went to the first reply. To the second reply, thank you. how long should the dumping process take and how do I use it? |

Dumping the DS-mode BIOSes and firmware barely takes a second. The resulting BIOS files are usable, but the firmware is not so you must have "boot game directly" enabled and melonDS set to DS mode. |

Yeah no it crashed yet again. I should probably use an r4 cartridge for that. |

If you're starting it through twilightmenu, press Y on the ROM and turn direct boot off. |

Ok, I'll do that
Edit: So I've just had an epiphany, I was running it in DSi mode and not DS mode. I will try running it now. Yet another edit, I just ran it and it's kinda hanging on the first part again. It keeps on displaying Savgin (not gonna say the file name for privacy reasons).bin... and nothing else happens. Any suggestions? |

dumping the ds mode bios won't help you get dsi mode working if you already have ds mode bios. you still need the dsi mode bios which you can't dump properly without a dsi. ____________________ Nothing to say, so jadnjkfmnjamnfjkldnajfnjkanfjdksan jsdnvj m. |

if you run my DSi BIOS dumper, it's best to run it right after unlaunch, by renaming it to bootcode.dsi and putting it on the SD card. it will then dump both DSi-mode and DS-mode BIOSes. ____________________ Kuribo64 |
