DS Bible software (with a free Bible text converter)

Welcome to Bible software for NDS and newer game consoles.

To use it you must be able first to run homebrew software on your DS. Then you can run the software after placing the BIBLE_For_NDS.nds file anywhere on your flash card and the Bible datafiles in the /data/Bible/ folder.

Published are:
  •  DS program version using filesystem on your flashcard
  • Text converter (Zef2NDS) which can be used to convert Bible translations, for example those downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/zefania-sharp/files/ to your Bible for NDS format (*.bx7). Using it you can have your favorite Bible translation in your language available in the program.

Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblefornds/files/

(These languages are NOT working yet: Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc. If you would like to have it to be able to display Bible texts in your language, please post a comment below or send a message from the project page on the Sourceforge)

I like the idea, definitely have to check it. But does it have KJV? What version is included?

Bible for NDS said...

Thanks. Included is LITV, KJV and other versions / languages can be found here http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblefornds/files/. Also new versions can be imported using the included file converter Zef2NDS. Please post comments about any bugs or wishes :)

is it automatically shows the bible pages in the upper screen? mine doesnt show anything just the background of the upper screen. or I should press something for it to open?

Hi Lemski07,

Yes, it should automatically show the text on the upper screen.
Please check:
1. Did you put the Bible files in the /data/Bible/[bibletextversionname] directory?
2. What flashcard do you use?
3. What console do you have(ds,dsi,dslite,3ds) ?
4. Did you check its the same situation with the newest version downloaded from? : http://biblefornds.sourceforge.net/

Please write me or post here and I will try to help.

I have a Nintendo 3DS.
I downloaded Bible for NDS version 1.0.1 to my flash card.
I using R4i-Gold.
I have the problem with Bible software, when i run the Bible software, i can do everything, but no bible data is shown.
I have follow the instruction to do everything.
Please help me.

Hi Xtreme,

If there are Bible files on your R4i-gold in the root folder (for example the file: \data\Bible\LITV\NT\40-Mat.bx7 is present in exactly this path on your card) then the only thing what comes to my mind is to try start the biblefornds with the HBMenu loader.
(look it up on the internet, HBMenu.nds is a very small free utility).
Other thing would be to try an updated flashcard firmware for the r4i-gold.

Please tell me how it worked with HBMenu.nds.
Unfortunately I dont have N3DS nor r4i-gold otherwise I could test it myself and release an updated version if there are any problems.
So I really rely on you Extreme :)
Best luck and thanks in advance for your feedback.

Elison Siew said...

I have tried the HBMenu.nds, but still the same problem.
I have updated my R4i_Gold to latest version.
What should I do now?

biblefornds said...

It seems like that particular combination (r4i + n3ds + biblefornds) is not working together. Did you try if it works when you put your r4i card to other type of nintendo (ds lite, dsi, ..)? Also, what happens when you try other card with your n3ds?

Elison Siew said...

Yes, I tried to run on Nintendo DS Lite, but still the same problem.
I will try other card later.
I hope can use it.

biblefornds said...

Thanks Xtreme for your info.

Don't forget to check that the Bible files are there, like: \data\Bible\LITV\NT\40-Mat.bx7

Elison Siew said...

I tried, for Nintendo DS Lite with another card TTDS is working.
But for R4i-Gold card is not working.
the TTDS card is not supported by Nintendo 3DS.
My 3DS cannot use Bible?

biblefornds said...

Xtreme,
thats really a pity.

Until this is resolved I suggest you try to use DSBible 2.5 (http://filetrip.net/g7905-DSbible.html)
Is it working on your 3ds with r4igold?
Wishing you all the best.

Elison Siew said...

The link you gave me the file is missing, but I have tried this for another website, also cannot use.
Bold also not working with 3DS R4i-Gold.
Can you solve it for me?

biblefornds said...

The link again:
http://filetrip.net/g7905-DSbible.html

I have no 3ds with r4i gold so I cannot test it. The the problem is probably with dldi of that card. Im sorry I cannot help you further.
Best regards.

Elison Siew said...

Ok.
I hope got update for 3DS Bible soon.
Thank you anyway.

biblefornds said...

Hey, Xtreme,

Try out the new version 1.2 from http://biblefornds.sourceforge.net/
It should work. If you experience any problems, send an email: biblefornds(at)gmail(dot)com
Cheers!
