How to play game discs directly on a bootloader? - Poknatus - 26.04.2017 08:03

I have just piggy backed a flash memory and flashed ds bootloader in order to run dreamshell from the sd card and it works and loads iso games (some) just fine. And for that i want to thank those who made the Dreamshell OS.

What I want is to be able to play original/burned game disc regardless of region as well as ISO games from sdcard(and eventually from HDD). IS this possible with the bootloader bios? I can switch to the original bios and play game discs from there but its not region-free. Or i can flash a devkit bios and play all game discs but no sdcard bootloader.

So, is there any ds bootloader that supports both playing ISO games as well as game discs?

There is no bootloader for that but there is an app wrote by Megavolt called GD Play:

It doesn't work for every burnt discs though but is a very handy app.

Ok thank you. Let me try that one.

Tested a couple of burned games and everything works! Smile
