HaxxStation: DS Download Station exploit



13 years.

The original DS was released in 2004, and to this day, no hax for Download Play had been made.

Until now.

Gericom found an exploit in DS Download Station, allowing us to run any homebrew we'd like over DS download play.

Enjoy!

And if you want to load unsupported flashcarts on a DSi:

Yes.
Here's Apache Thunder's flashcard launchers edited for HaxxStation. @shutterbug2000 should put this in the first post.

I noticed that too... It seems 3DS Download Play stores titles a bit differently...
Yeah I'm pretty sure it just directly downloads them and then launches them if downloaded so that it takes less time if you play these downloaded titles a lot.
I was asking if it was DS and the 3ds were similar in this regard and I guess I just came across wrong.
My bad

and Does this also mean we can patch hacked DS Games (Mario Kart DS) to send out hacked multiplayer by not using DS Download Station, like patch the rom itself?

Eh a useful homebrew to make for this would be a gba wifi rom dumper since i have an old ds lite but no flash card

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Could nds-savegame-manager be modified to work with this? It says it can dump saves over wifi, so no SD access won't be a problem there. However, it looks like it tries to load ftp settings from an ini file. If this homebrew was modified to hard-code the ip and stuff, would it work? Or does the DS not even have NDS or GBA save access when running download play?

Edit: Oh, DS can only connect to WEP hotspots. R.I.P plan, 7/21/17-7/24/17.
