You'll need to create a drastic_dldi.img which has all of your relevant NeoDS files in it which basically acts like a virtual sdcard that you'd have in a flash cartridge.

Is there a Program for that or do I just put all the Games on a ISO/IMG Image and place it along with the NeoDS.nds App?

Edit: Nevermind. Think I found the way to do it. FSCR Program correct? Was looking around and found it in 2 GBATemp Pages. Hopefully it works :D

Edit II: OK, yeah, gonna need some help figuring this out

You can follow this if you have a rooted device:

It's possible to do something similar on a Linux machine too, if you have one.

The .nds file also has to be modded to be R4 compatible.

OK, I got the DS File Patched for R4. Now waiting to see if the GPD XD is Rooted so I know I can do it. Also need to know what File Explorer would work.

Hi :D, Just wondering do you have Drastic installed on your GPD?

Just curious that's all.

You got NeoDS from GBATemp didnt you? that's why it's so complex.

You can make life easy by getting Drastic instead of going through all this trouble.

Yes I have Drastic on my GPD. But when I try to run NeoDS, it wont work. Drastic will only see .ds File Extension.

NeoDS work perfectly on my N3DS no Problem. But I would like to get it going on my GPD XD though.

Think I found a reason why it wont work:
Q: Does DraStic support homebrew games?
A: Currently many homebrew games are not supported because DraStic does not yet support DLDI filesystem integration which many homebrew games rely on. This is a planned feature for a later date.

So it seems Drastic does not have this yet :'(

Yeah sorry about that :(, it'll be planned and implemented in the future. Unless someone volunteers to do it. Have a Good Day :D

You own a PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS and a GPD XL I think you've got quite a handful of games to play rich guy...me poor (T_T)

I didn't mention the PSP 3000 because it's outdated.

I wouldn't have posted information on how to get it working if it wasn't a thing that was implemented. The FAQ is out of date.
