totally confused, can't get ScummVM running

Post by DrFlo »

Before you read anything, i must apologise for my bad english. I'm German and not used to write english or even speak a foreign language :(.

Using the NDS to play something else as a NDS Games is new to me. I heard from playing old Adventures at the DS and bought the first Card Reader i have seen (maybe a big mistake?).

Its a SD Multimedia-Reader from Bigben
(please delete the link if you think its a commercial, http://www.amazon.de/Nintendo-DS-Lite-S ... 185&sr=8-5 )

Using a SD Card it starts to a GUI where i can choose from 5 "points", Movie - Music - Picture - Book - Setup, overlined with GBA Movie Player. So I choose the GBA Movie Player SD DLDI.

The only Problem is i didnt even unterstand how to get ScummVM started. Cause i havn't got a data browser or somethin that like.

Is this Card Reader totally incompatible or am i doing something elementary wrong?

The only 2 things that are on the SD Card atm are the scummvm-a.nds and a Monkey Folder with Monkey Island 1.

I hope somebody can say anything to help me :)

Hi,

this card reader does NOT allow homebrew execution, it's only for playing multimedia files (video, music, ebook), and only in GBA mode, it can't boot in NDS mode.

If you want a great linker, you should buy a real one ;)

slot1:

M3Simply
R4DS

slot2 (need a passme or a flashed nds):
M3MiniSD (with fat nds)
M3Lite (with Lite nds)

ps : SuperCard (slot2) are cheaper, but suck in GBA mode, and are not as good as M3 in NDS mode.
