Hi!
Can someone explain to me what a flashcart is and how to use it?
I am but a newborn babe in the world of emulation and would appreciate any and all answers you people could give me. Kind regards, Cantaloupe |

1. Flashcarts are used to run arbitrary games/etc on your DS. Basically it's a cartridge that (most typically) takes a microSD card, on which you put games and such. Then when you start your DS, it will run a menu that lets you choose which game to run.
2. Using official BIOS/firmware dumps is more accurate and less likely to cause issues. However, you shouldn't run into issues with the default BIOS/firmware. 3. The FAQ prolly just needs a lil' update. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

There's very few bugs that happen because of the built in BIOS- it's not impossible that that bug emerges from FreeBIOS but it's very unlikely.
Honestly, what will probably help most is instructions on how to recreate that bug- including your PC's operating system, what settings you're using, what rando you're using and with what seed/options, etc. I've also heard the C-Gear kinda fucks up some stuff (even if I dont remember anything related to video freezes soooo ____________________ hi they/she/xe :)))))))))))))) |

Posted by patataofcourse Understood, thank you! I will make a new topic for that bug then. Regarding that topic: How thorough should I be regarding the settings I mention? I assume I won't have to share every setting under the Config menu? Also is there an easy way to embed video files in posts like these? Or am I better off just embedding a youtube video of my issue? |
