nds-bootstrap is a tool that allows loading DS(i) [[ROM]]s and [[DSiWare]] from a DSi's SD card or Slot-1 [[flashcard]]. From SD card it has high but not perfect DS game compatibility and near-perfect DSiWare compatibility. From flashcard its DS game compatibility is lower than most kernels, but better that some old kernels and runs on some homebrew-only flashcards. It is the only program to support running DSiWare on Slot-1 flashcards.
It also has several additional features compared to most flashcards such as an in-game menu with support for taking screenshots, reading text manuals, a RAM viewer, and more. It can also use the DSi's additional features in normally unsupported games, however this often causes more issues that improvements.
== Instructions ==
nds-bootstrap is not designed to be used on its own, instead it should be used with a separate front end program. The two current front ends are [[TWiLight Menu++]] and [[DS Game Forwarders|forwarders]] for the DSi Menu.
