Installation

  1. Download and extract file
  2. DLDI patch it and copy it to the root directory of the card
  3. Create a folder called 'mame' in the root of your card
  4. Copy the .zip (ensure they use no compression) files containing the mame files to your mame folder

You can't have more than 255 ROMS at the same time.

Controls

When the emulator starts, use Up/Down to select game, then use A to start the game selected.

Both Player 1 and 2:

Direction pad and DS Motion - the joystick

SELECT- insert coins

A - Fire (if the game need it, like Pengo)

B - Fire (if the game need it, like Ping Pong)

R - Fire , only for Arkanoid (easier if we play with stylus)

START - start game

R and L - Pause game and allow you to return to MarcaDS menu

Compatibility

  • G6DS Real (firmware 2.2) (with marcads.nds file, WITHOUT DLDI patching)
  • DS-X (firmware 1.1.2) (with marcads.nds file, WITHOUT DLDI patching)
  • M3 DS Simply (firmware 1.06) (with marcads.nds file, WITHOUT DLDI patching)
  • NinjaDS (firmware 1.05) (with marcads.nds file, WITHOUT DLDI patching)
  • CycloDS Evolution (firmware 1.12) (with marcads.nds file, WITHOUT DLDI patching)
  • G6 Lite (firmware 4.6c) and M3DSS as passkey (with marcads.nds file, dldi driver v0.19 patching g6fl.dldi)
  • MK5 (firmware 2.45) (with marcads.nds file, WITHOUT DLDI patching)

Known issues

Game does not run.

  • Ensure the game is in the below Compatibility List.

(Games other than those will not show up in the menu and will not run.)

  • Also ensure the .zip file does not use compression.

(Set WinRAR to Store, WinZip to No Compression.)

No sound in game.

  • Ensure the Compatibility List says there is sound in that title.

(If not, game will still work, just soundless.)

Where is the Compatibility List? All I see is foreign words!

  • Jeux émulés is the Compatibility List. It means Emulated Games in French.

EFS failed: You cannot rename MarcaDS.nds. And put it in root.
