Sims 3, arm7 bios, what's wrong?

Post by Spinnlein » Sun Jan 19, 2014 11:58 am

Hey guys!

I want to play the sims 3 on my drastic so there was a note what says I need something to do with a arm 7 bios because my rom is encrypted. .
I read some topics here and want to tell what I've done.
I deleted the bios. I started the rom and it was loading. Then it turns back to the start screen from drastic.
The bios returned to his place.
Next step I renamed the bios. The same thing happened like before.
Maybe somebody have a decrypt version of sims 3 or can tell me what do I have to do.

Sry for my English I'm from Germany.

You need to obtain the actual NDS bios. Cant say where but Google is your friend. Rename them to nds_bios_arm7.bin and nds_bios_arm9.bin and place them in the system folder.

NOTE: they WILL corrupt any other save files that have been made with the DraStic bios.
Devices running Android:

- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (CM12.1, overclocked, undervolted)
- Asus Nexus 7 2013 (Stock Marshmallow...to play Pokemon GO on...)
- Tenfifteen QW09 SmartWatch (Kitkat)
- Fujitsu Lifebook T4410 Touchscreen Laptop (Remix OS 3.0)

It won't corrupt the saves, you just can't use them while you have those BIOSes in place. Savestates made with the DraStic BIOSes are not compatible with the Nintendo BIOSes and vice-versa.

There are ways to decrypt the ROMs instead, that'd generally be preferable.
