Original Nintendo BIOS vs. Custom BIOS

[Amici]

Any difference between the two? The time I bought Drastic it already had a built-in custom BIOS, so I never experienced looking for the real BIOS. Just recently learned about that previous requirement.

I'd like to know if it's worth my time to dump my NDS lite BIOS for this.

Fantastic emulator by the way, will buy it even at double, triple its actual price.

Its on the faqs. Basically, some encrypted games need the original.

I did check the FAQ already, but there was no discussion or mention there that they're basically the same (except for the encrypted ROMs part). I didn't see it mentioned there that there is virtually no difference from the two. Is compatibility and emulation accuracy affected? Since I have both, which do you guys suggest I use?

The only reason is as I said, encrypted roms. Other than that, same banana.

It's impossible to really say for sure, we could only test so much on that replcaement BIOS (and it was pretty rushed out the door, coded it in 2-3 days). I don't know of any problems with it yet though.

when i updated to the version which had the custom bios , out of the 10 or so roms (games) i played there was 1 game which would not work , so i swapped my original bios back in there and it worked , and all the other games i have tried since, have worked as well , so i am keeping with the original Bios.

Original 512KB Chinese BIOS and Korean BIOS can't work on DraStic. (But they can work on the newest version of DeSmuME and NO$GBA)
Chinese DS games and Korean DS games can also be played on the 256KB Japanese/American/European "normal" BIOS, so it doesn't matter.(Chinese games need a patch to be played on J/U/E "normal" BIOS)
