i have no idea how this stuff works but according to https://gbatemp.net/threads/adding-dsiware-homebrew-to-launcher.508162/ you need to make the homebrew able to be run from an ad card rather than from a cartridge. on the forums they mentioned also that compiling the homebrew with the latest devKitPro would help with that.

i hope that works. is there any reason you are porting this to the nds and not (old) 3ds? this certainly would make things much easier for me :P

hope you consider it at some point.

nvm, im an idiot. you can run the homebrew with dsimenu++, but the homebrew needs to be in the root folder with all the other files.

it seems to be playable but there is no keyboard to pick a name when starting the game. i blindly tapped in the bottom right corner to find the enter key and continue.

thanks for your contribution :)

Hmm, so, the keyboard layout and graphics are located in a supplementary data file that the software looks for in /NetHackDS, so I wonder if it's unable to find that data file.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with dsimenu++ or how your flash cart storage works on that device. On my (very) old R4, you just stored the NetHackDS directly in the root directory of the cart.
