This application allows you to transfer NDS ROMs, as well as emulated NES/GB/GBC ROMs, from a Wii to a DS using Download Play.

However, it is important to note that if the DS is not patched with FlashMe and HaxxStation is not used, only Official Demo ROMs can be sent.

User guide

To use HaxxStation, the US version of "DS Download Station - Volume 1" must be renamed to "haxxstation.nds" and placed on the root of the SD card.

To use the application, place your .nds/.srl/.nes/.gb/.gbc files into a "srl" folder on the SD card, download the current version of the program from the "releases" tab, and start it through the homebrew channel.

You can then select the desired file, download it on the DS and play it. If there are any issues with sending the file, you may need to increase the delay timing.

It's also worth noting that .nes files are emulated using nesDS and .gb/.gbc files are emulated using GameYob.
