Last Monday I received my M3-DS Real adapter which I order in R4 Canada, so after I installed all the apps and games I needed. And I stumble upon this hack about how to play the Guitar Hero for NDS without the Guitar Grip peripheral, it was cool, right? so I give this hack a try and it works like a charm to me. Actually this is my first hack I apply to my DS. I’m not actually a fan of Guitar Hero but I find this hack quite interesting so I give this one a try and it’s cool. The only set back on this hack is the configuration of the controller, I find it hard and tedious. I’m not sure who created this hack, hopefully he will create an update on this hack. Let’s start the hack and enjoy!
How-To:
- Download the ARM9 file here.
- Download DSLazy.
- Unzip and Open DSlazy folder
- Click dzlazy.exe and then select your clean Rom (Guitar Hero)
- Select NDS unpack, you will see a folder with the unpacked Rom
- Replace the original arm9.bin file with the new one that you download in step 1
- Select NDS repack.
- Make sure your rom file is on NDS folder of your Micro SD.
- Insert it to your M3-DS adapter
- Insert M3-DS adapter to your Nintendo DS and play !!!!
Control ABYX – Button list
X= red
B= Yellow
A= blue
Y=green
UPDATE: For D-Pad control configuration
down-green
up- red
left-yellow
right-blue
As of now somebody is working on to change the D-pad control configuration as per public demand. You can join the discussion here and to be updated on the development of the mod.
Note: This will only work if you have M3-DS Real adapter (I’m not sure for R4 and M3-DS Simply adapter).

if you can hack it and advise me, i request something, to play it with L R up and X buttons and without the use of touchscreen, now that will be cool, (like the playstation with the controllers”
@RTS:
Check my update on this post.
ya i found this a couple days ago… and yes it works for the R4
verified on the R4, works perfectly. Now, if one could only get over the flaw of playing it with buttons instead of the grip well enough to merrit it a substitute
ds lazy doesnt work
dslazy.exe does not work!
agreed the dslazy.exe does not work for me neither
Hi philthy and gloria,
Do you mind guys to explain exactly what happen when your using the DSlazy.exe?
Make sure you don’t download a corrupt file and try winrar to unzip it. Then double click the dslazy.exe, the dslazy v0.6 windows will pop-up.
ok here’s were I’m at,
start dslazy.
load Gh rom.
Unpacks to a folder.
replace bin 9 with one above.
This is were I’m a bit confused, does DS lazy just make anew GH rom?.
If so I then put this new GH on my ds, but just get black screen now, instead of hardware warning….why??
thanks
@TT:
I see that your doing it right, DSLazy actually unpack your existing rom and then repack it again. It’s like winzip I can say, DSLazy don’t actually create a new rom. So once you unpacked it, replace the “bin9″ with the one you download and then repack it and then your done. Put you rom now in the root directory of your MicroSD and enjoy! Hope it’s help.
yeah it’s work….thank’s
i’m ROCK now
Yeah it’s cool and it works on R4.. but the controls sucks a lot :O
X= red
B= Yellow
A= blue
Y=green
It’s totally illogical! Almost impossible to play
A great config can be:
X = Green
Y = Red
B = Yellow
A = Blue
And.. the BEST config is for SURE this:
R = Green
X = Red
Y = Yellow
B = Blue
There is a way for edit the arm9.bin file?
Can this work on games n music?
Followed instructions but all i get is white screen when game loads, anyone help pls?
Wats the repack button i dont see a repack button
@gitto:
To unpack it click the nds unpack button (with saw icon) second from the right and to repack it click the nds packer button (with gear icon) last on the right side.

@matt:
Hi matt
I never experience the same problem like yours so I have no idea about it, Maybe try to upload it again to your PSP, start from step 1 and let see what will be happen.
it works with dstt too
help me to solve the problem. im stuck at the white screen.
it works with the nintendo ds emulator no$gba???
It runs with NO$GBA 2.6, but when it comes to playing I can’t see any notes.
Anyone know how to fix this?
my dslazy doesnt work it was saying “failed to initialize properly”what do i do
dslazy requires .net runtime to run.
So if you get the failed to initialize… error install the .net framework.
it tells me to set a registry key to point to the .net framework install location, what do that mean?
why does it go white screen?
Yeah, it’s really work with m3 simply with YSmenu.
ive used that hack before but i dont get why everyone complains that its too hard, yeh it gives u a wrist cramp, but i can play it fine, all the way to expert
You can allways serch an already hacked version of the Guitar Hero – On tour, but of course at your own risk. You know that if you donwload it but din’t buy the game you have 24 hrs to erase it.
Any way. It would be nice, if you could edit the botons like AlexPD said:
R = Green
X = Red
Y = Yellow
B = Blue
Worked Fine for me , I have the R4 , Too hard to play though ..
pleace send me the room…
the displays are black when charge the room (sorry don’t speak english jejeje)
this is mi email to send me dannylopez68@gmail.com tanks
Hey, you forgotten something veeeery important: The DSLazy won’t run unless you get the .net framework runtime. Please, correct that on the how-to, so people like me, that don’t give a shit to MS don’t end up with a dead binary on our hands.
Thanks for the how-to, BTW
Greetings from Brazil! 
Works On AK2i
Its Perfect For DSi’s
doesnt work 4 me. plz help. opens up a cmd window when click unpack
OMFG DONT WORK I STUCK AT WHITE SCREEN!!
that works thanks dude !!!!
I got white screen after I loaded the rom after replacing the arm9.bin file and whatnot. Please tell me what went wrong.
Hey
Great this works. thanx but the controls are totally illogicall. i play guitar rock tour. its better, because you click the notes with stylus.
