This is a Bandai WonderSwan (Color/Crystal) & PocketChallenge V2 emulator for the Nintendo DS.
Installation
Create a folder named nitroswan in either the root of your flash card or in the data folder. This is where the settings and save files are stored.
Next put your games and bios files into a folder (stub version for the bootrom will be used if that is not found).
Max 768 files per folder, filenames must not be longer than 127 chars. You can use zip-files (as long as they use the deflate compression). Caution: SLOT-2 RAM can not be used with zip-files.
Depending on your flashcart you might have to DLDI patch the emulator.
The save files should be compatible with most other WonderSwan emulators.
