    • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor #1191
  • Other rendering is poor (toggle between opengl and softrasterizer renderers to get through game)

------ Homebrew ------

(When using 0.9.10, which is a turd, make sure you use "config > rom loading > load entirely to ram". Otherwise DLDI won't auto-patch and MPCF won't work.)

  • No snags
  • Snags
    • Herocat versus Univillain [ http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=58249 ] - Works fine via MPCF or GBAGAME; rom must be named uni.nds via MPCF due to hardcode in rom
    • R4 Firmware - Set Slot-1 Device R4, and specify the directory with your flash card firmware; Then load the NDS file which corresponds to the ROM contents of your flash card (we don't ship desmume with someone's copyrighted flash card roms)
  • MPCF Tip - config > slot 2 > MPCF flash card device. Use path of loaded ROM, usually.
