This may be why 
some games get 
stuck on the white 
screen. When using 
emulators on a pc, 
newer games require 
bios and firmware. 
Just a thaught.

that could be actually a good solution for 
the White Screen and other issues, Like the
psx emulator for wii that have an white screen, 
when no use the bios or firmware. and a ds 
emulator for pc also need it.

I don't think it's a big deal to add an option to load it right now.  Would 
have to
be from a preset location though - say /dsbios or /apps/desmume/bios/.  Until 
we're
feature complete I don't want to start adding guis, this could steal much 
needed memory.

I have noway of testing though.  I don't have a bios, do you need to copy it 
from
your own DS?  I presume it's illegal to download? Would need some help on these 
two
questions ;)

as you say I assume is really illegal to download it, that´s why you 
dont find them with the emulator instead you have to look for them on 
your own.

I actually check on internet it appears those are the bios names 
BIOSNDS7.ROM y BIOSNDS9.ROM, I don´t Attach them to or well I even 
download them coz that is as we say illegal.

See r150.  Like I said I don't have these files so let me know the results or 
if this
improves anything.

Put arm7 & 9 bios files in SD:/DSBIOS or USB:/DSBIOS must be named :- 
biosnds9.rom &
biosnds7.rom

Your issue may be 
compatability.  Has 
adding the bios 
removed white 
screen issue with 
heartgold and such?
If not, maybe 
adding firmware 
files could solve 
this. I have no way 
to test at the 
moment so let me 
know please guys... 
Btw go me for 
suggesting the bios 
thing lol.

It seems that the bios haven´t fix this issue but gives more speed to some 
games. 

castlevania portrait of ruin, still the same, yoshi island is a bit more 
faster, and
all the other games that I normally use to test don´t present any change.

What about the 
diamond pearl and 
platinum versions. 
Do they get past 
the title screen? 
Or is it just the 
speed the bios have 
improved?

I was not expecting this to fix any white screen issues.  I have an idea of 
what's
causing that.  Good that it's sped up some game though.

I test M&L: Parner in Time, FF Tactic A2 and Bomberman Land Touch, and
in middle of the game it take me back to Homebrew Channel, Im not sure 
if it´s cause of the Bios or it´s just a problem of those games because 
I din´t get the time to test it with the games that I normally use.

I´ll like to see if someone get any error with other games or with 
yohi island(just to confirm).

"and in middle of the game it take me back to Homebrew Channel"
That happens when you run out of RAM. We're working on it.

ok, what happened is that I was not sure if these problems began 
when they enable the Bios, but what happened was I was testing 
with other games and not that I always use for lack of time, but 
when testing with which always use gave me no error.

Maybe the firmware can help out.

You say you have problems but you're not telling me what they are. Elaborate a 
bit
please?

To be honest i 
think there are way 
to many people 
working on this. If 
you constantly keep 
eachother informed 
on it then no 
problem, but, if 
there is no 
communication then 
the whole thing 
will go a lot 
slower.

Sorry if i couldn´t express myself, I thought I had a problem, because 
when I download the new revision, I test M&L: Partners in time, and others 
games that I´ve mentioned before, and I got the RAM problem that you already 
explained to me, and I thought it was fault of this new revision, but went I 
test other games like Yoshy Island and some others, I realize that it wasn´t 
the revision fault, So I don´t have any problem, it was just a 
misunderstanding 
of my.

Now matthew is right with that, there should be always comunication if we want 
that 
something walk on the right path.

matthewburns8:
I completely disagree with you. We are all (with the exception of one member) 
present
in #arikadosblog on EFNET and we all regularly communicate through e-mail 
e-mailing
everyone at once. There is only one member of this project who causes problems
through both incompetence and ignoring the IRC channel and e-mails. He will be 
thrown
off the project if he causes trouble again.

techx3:
Great. Thanks for the clear-up =)

General:
Closing this issue as the BIOS feature has been added in.
