DLDI stands for ‘Dynamically Linked Device Interface’. It is an interface for libfat that homebrew developers attached to their projects.
- I will try next with original M3 Simply firmware - if I can find it and report back. Edit 2: I can confirm I have found a solution. Turns out using the latest R4 Firmware (Wood R4 v1.62) was the real stumbling block. Using instead Wood R4 v1.16 (found here - filename: 22634-Wood R4 v1.16.7z) and the 2GB card formatted to FAT32 the DS booted.
- Download the DLDI patch file for R4 and M3; To run the DLDI tool, you need to specify the name of the DLDI patch file and the name of the ROM. There are lots of homebrew games and tools available for the Nintendo DS. Here are some links to my favorites Warcraft: Tower Defense; AmplituDS; DS Dictionary.
Hm well all the websites i have checked say they can and i know that R4 EDGE M3 DS REAL and M3 DS SIMPLY as well as CYCLO DS. I don't have any of these but all the websites i have visited say yes, and even if they don't i'm sure that you can download a patch for it.
I’ll break it down to more understandable terms. Let’s say a homebrew developer makes a DS game where you can draw a picture and save the image to your flash cart. To save this image on the flash cart the developer would have to know the specific piece of code that allows you to write things to the cart. And if you wanted to read the image so you can edit it again you’d need access to the read capabilities of the flash cart. This forms the read/write commands which are essentially what libfat is.
There is a big problem however. Every flash cart uses different read/write commands. That would mean to get your game working on four different flashcarts you’d need to code it with all four different read/write methods. This is a big hassle for developers and flash cart owners a like. Under the old system homebrew projects that used read/write commands (FAT access) only worked on the flashcarts they were specifically coded for. As there are so many flash carts on the market many were left out because to keep your homebrew project working on 15 + different kits would be a nightmare!
Along came DLDI. This interface developed by Chishm unifies everything. It is a single interface that homebrew developers attach to their projects. The developers don’t have to worry about making their project compatible with a whole range of different carts. Instead each flashcart has a specific DLDI patch made for it which houses all the read/write commands. You would then simply patch the homebrew game or application with your cart’s DLDI patch and it will work on your cart. So if you have an R4 DS you apply the R4 DS DLDI patch to the homebrew .nds file. The beauty is that once a DLDI patch has been made for your cart it’ll be compatible with every piece of homebrew that has DLDI support.
What carts are supported?
DLDI support is defined as, at a minimum, the ability to patch a .nds file for a specific cartridge. Virtually all cartridges support DLDI either officially or via third-party intervention. Most cart developers have advanced beyond manual DLDI patching in various ways, such as automatic DLDI patching. Some carts that are compatible with the interface include the following:

What Homebrew games/apps do I need to patch?
Any homebrew game or application that uses FAT access and supports DLDI. Homebrew games/apps that do not read or write to your card do not need to be patched.

Note: EZ-Flash V users will need to use a separate DLDI patcher to make DLDI work. If you have an EZ-Flash V please use this DLDI patcher. No other files are needed, simply drag and drop the homebrew onto the exe file.
