I just want to clarify something: when you say DsiWare, which do you mean:
1. Dsi games? (are they different from ds games?)
2. Dsi homebrew?
3. Ds/Dsi system applications?
4. Ds games?
5. Ds homebrew?

and which ones would we be able to do anything with with a patch like this?

Games that were available on the DSi Store.

so still no ds games yet? (or at least for a while?)

Who knows, more knowledgeable people are currently looking in to it.

Apparently it's possible, but it's going to be VERY difficult.

I find it unlikely that Nintendo would code a DS ROM loader instead of just recompiling the code for reading data from NAND. Don't get your hopes up.

Yeah, probably not in the near future anyways. It sounds like it very well might be possible, though there's some pretty significant work that needs to happen first.

I should say the JAPAN DSIWARE AWDOR is not much different from the US retail one，
all though there is some slight diffrence with offset by comparing HEX.

wasn't there also another instance like this with inazuma 11? (if that's what it was called).
I'm still curious if there can just be a tool that can run through the ARM code, and auto-patch it (assuming it's word aligned, and the code is in it's own file of each rom that's patched?) It's also late, and I could possibly be making little sense...

Hello,

is it possible to patch the TWL_FIRM to run Flashcards that was not supported on 1.0 like the M3DSReal?

TuxSH · Feb 10, 2016

No, if your flashcard isn't able to run on the oldest DSi or 3DS firmwares, it will never be able to. This is your case.

The rom also has an extended header for DSi, which explains the possibility of converting to cia.

So, to convert an nds rom to (unplayable, home menu only) cia, make sure it has the extended header, similar to what is shown above, and the size is 64MB or below.
My console is bricked, so I can't test it, not even to install the patched TWL_FIRM.

https://dsibrew.org/wiki/DSi_Cartridge_Header

I gave Super Mario 64 DS an incomplete extended header, and the conversion to cia worked.

Fatalanus · Feb 10, 2016

So we can create .nds cia files if they are under 64 MB, but we can't launch them.
Because the device need it to be as retail cart, I assume?

laharl22 · Feb 10, 2016

so ds injection are possible ?

Yes.

Fatalanus · Feb 10, 2016

It sucks, in fact.
We are with the files, everything is ok, but the 3DS can't read it. ah ah it's a shame, no?

Once again, congratulations to all of you guys that are moving forward on this project!

laharl22 · Feb 10, 2016

so ac wild world can work this size are 32 or 64 mb

Any DSi Enhanced rom with an extended header will convert to cia, sadly, AC Wild World (32MB) is not one of them. Again, must be 64MB or below.

rxTools officially has this added:

https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools/pull/403

It's not available in a release build yet, but it's in the source for those able to compile it.

Sweet! Gonna try it out on my o3DS, hopefully it can also be released for the n3DS.

It will, but not now. It's a bit more complicated to patch TWL_FIRM on N3DS.
