Post by Wordchild » Thu Sep 05, 2013 10:31 pm

Hey guys, Im having troubles installing an original DS BIOs, Need it in order to play the sims 3, and I read the frequent asked questions where it mentioned where to put different BIOs, but that file does not exist on my phone. SO any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

What doesn't exist? The bios file or the folder where you should place the bios?

So would I just install the bios files directly to the sdcard/drastic folder?

No, place it on DraStic/system.
Take note that if you played any other game besides the sims, their savestates won't work since you're using a different bios.

Are you sure you placed it on the right folder? Also, the bioses should be named like nds_bios_arm7.bin
