Support for the Lone Wolf DS series (Homebrew) #1043

After some tests with an other user from the /r/Emulation Discord server, the emulator seems to be stucked on the initial loading screen (most probably the save file creation) on all the games/interactive books from the series.

Tested with commit 284a9b73b055b6d450825efe0a5dcf7881438c00

The project is available on that page. https://www.projectaon.org/staff/frederic/index.php

did you setup an sd card image?

Zet-sensei commented 3 years ago

I thought about that too.

The game uses NitroFS, which reads files from a virtual filesystem contained in the ROM file. This means the ROM file must be on the SD image for it to work. Supposedly it gets the file name from argv[0] (using the argv protocol that nds-hb-menu supports), but through some black magic simply putting the ROM file on the root of the SD image makes it work on NooDS. I wasn't able to make it work on melonDS in this way though, so there might be another issue here.

ah then it could work if the game is booted over the hbmenu (https://github.com/devkitPro/nds-hb-menu) from the sd card
