Install BlocksDS

Compiling

Run make

The launcher can be found in the root directory under the name LAUNCHER.nds.

Copy LAUNCHER.nds to your SD card.
- If you are using DSpico, rename to _picoboot.nds and place it in the root of your SD card.
Copy the _pico pico folder to the root of your SD card.

Note

To use Pico Launcher, the Pico Loader files (aplist.bin, savelist.bin, picoLoader7.bin and picoLoader9.bin) must also be present in the /_pico folder on your SD card.

For DSpico the final directory structure will look like this:

.
├── _pico

│   │   ├── material
│   │   │   └── theme.json
│   │   └── raspberry
