NOTE: In this video, loading speed is slower than the current nds-bootstrap version.
SRLoader is a frontend for nds-bootstrap, for DSi.
This does what TWLoader does, loading ROMs from the SD card via nds-bootstrap, and ROMs from a flashcard! DSi/3DS/2DS users can change sound frequency from 32kHz to 48kHz for higher sound quality! Outside of flashcards, you can run DS games with clock speed of 133mhz (faster than normal DS). Also has theme changing, and it has an option, where you can run the last played DS ROM (ran via bootstrap/flashcard's ROM booter) on SRLoader startup.
Also includes (Super) GameBoy (Color) ROM loading via GameYob.

FAQs
Q: Why isn't touch input working on sudokuhax?
A: Depending on the save file of sudokuhax, the touch screen inputs may not work.
Q: Can The Biggest Loser boot SRLoader?
A: No. As The Biggest Loser is a Slot-1 game, and not a DSiWare game, SD access is disabled when running Slot-1 cards.
Q: Why do I get a white screen when trying to load a game from SD Card?
A1: If you're a DSi user, Please check the LED set in SRLoader settings.
- WiFi/Camera: If it's on, that means it's loading from the ROM. If it's off for a while, and the screen is still white, that means the game is unsupported.
- Power: If it's purple, that means it's loading from the ROM. If it's blue (or red) for a while, and the screen is still white, that means the game is unsupported.
A2: If the game is listed as compatible, or if you're running from flashcard, try loading the game again. SRLoader tends to crash before loading a .nds file for some reason.
Q: Why is sound working incorrectly?
A: For DSiWarehax users, the DSi BIOS is still being used in the arm7. You'll need RocketLauncher for sound to work properly.
