Is there any way of auto booting the game without having to go through the lua menu in gbfs mode?

Thanks for any responses, Bug

Yep, use autostart.exe (comes with DSLua 0.6). It will edit the directory to find the program to be auto-started. Put it in the same directory as the already-packed GBFS rom and use the command line to type

autostart.exe DSLUA-PACK.nds Gamename.nds /gbfs/

It'll copy DSLUA-PACK.nds to Gamename.nds and edit Gamename.nds to auto-start /gbfs/main.lua.

Or if you'd rather use a hex editor/can't run .exe's, you can find where to change it by doing a text search for "___" (3 underline characters)

I cant seem to get this to work. My script is named main.lua . I run autopak, test the .sc.nds, and it works fine... so now i want to make it auto start the main.lua, i open command prmt and do the following

autostart.exe DSLUA-PACK.sc.nds test.sc.nds /gbfs/

and when i run the test, i stil have to select the file (and I even looked at its hex, it was changed.. but didnt work)


turns out, that i used \gbfs\ and not /gbfs/ my bad =(
