Dream Radar No-Cart Patch

Cart Redirect Patch

This patch tricks Dream Radar into thinking a cartridge is inserted by loading a .sav file from the SD card instead. It allows you to use your save from TWiLightMenu or nds-bootstrap. It also lets you use saves from an emulator without needing to inject them.

Tools

A 3DS with CFW (Custom Firmware)
Instructions for installing CFW

Update Luma Settings

Boot the console while holding Select.
Select "Enable game patches".

Install the Patch

Download and unzip the zip file.
Copy the IPS patch of your choice to the SD card.
- Japanese: /luma/titles/0004000000073200.
- All Other Regions: /luma/titles/00040000000AE100.
Rename the file to code.ips.
- For example, if you're playing Dream Radar, you should now have a file at /luma/titles/00040000000AE100/code.ips.

Prepare your save file

Make sure you have a save file at /roms/nds/saves/white2.sav, /roms/nds/saves/black2.sav, /roms/nds/saves/black.sav, or /roms/nds/saves/white.sav.
If using TWiLightMenu, have a game file at /roms/nds/white2.nds, /roms/nds/black2.nds, /roms/nds/black.nds, or /roms/nds/white.nds.

If working, Dream Radar should detect the save as if a cart was inserted and allow transfers.

Troubleshooting

Error: Cart not inserted

Make sure your save file is named correctly and in the right location.
Make sure game patching is enabled in Luma.
