ROM Hack DS Download Play - Send nds file with Planet Puzzle League

[loco365]

Guys, I know for one thing that Lode Runner (J) is VERY small.

I think it even came untrimmed at 4MB.

I'll look at it later.

I tried to get the place for the Mario Party Bricker- but it seems the admin deleted it. So unless someone has a leftover copy, this might not work.

I also tried to send over the Nintends DS Bios as a .nds and no dice.

I wonder what would happen if we encrypted the .nds?

I contacted DarkFader to see if I could obtain the r0mloader.zip or r0mloader.nds.

Cool. Though I still can't see any practical applications for this and I can't see why anyone would want to download a homebrew game...?

Anyway, I have a load of games under 4MB (which are all crap but hey) the smallest being Billiard Action at 1,983KB (2MB).
Try and see if that works.

Edit: Here's a list of games I have that are under 4MB:
*snip*

I tried Billiard Action (trimmed to 1.93MB), but the game still hangs. It's not just the file limit size problem now.

Ok. I think that they might work (If modified) because it seems to work on lites.

They aren't that easy to find. You have to be either very unlucky or search really hard.

DS has 4mb of RAM. Not gonna pull apart any DLP roms right now, but my guess would be that the download play file is less than 4mb in size. Otherwise... if you try to download play, say, N+, which is still only 8mb (iirc) to the DS... where are the last 4 mb of the rom going?

If you found a DS game, that, when trimmed, was less than 4mb, I would think that would be bootable over download play.

In fact, just for the sake of "why the fuck not?", I would be more interested in seeing if the .srl could be booted off of a flash cart when renamed to a .nds file. Again, it would serve no purpose except for "why the fuck not?"

I had already tried it with a Pokémon distribution rom two pages ago.

the table hockey tech demo can be send on a flashed ds

So, you need flashme. Well, I only have a DSi.

That's what we want to work around. I think it can be done by using a header from an actual demo game.

That would break the signature.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the demo header has to have some correspondence to the .nds ROM it came from.



.....are we even able to sign code? I had no clue

Say whut...
This was long, long time ago I did this with Mario Kart DS Demo. Also, a few years ago you cold do something about the same with WiFiMe on Ralink 25xx chipsets.

Did some research. Looks like this was done quite a long time ago by someone else:

I tried modding one of those. No dice either.

Hm. I just now (literally) though of something. I want to find the person that made the DS bricker. I can bet he'd know about signed headers and it could give some insight into signing a rom for transfer. If a bricker can run on an unflashed DS, we can get roms to run on an unflashed DS through Download Play.

Am I right or am I right?

I have a copy of it.

I found it when it first came out (knowing what it was) and am waiting for the day when somebody I loathe wants to play Dragon Quest IX.

I also have Taihen and the DSBricker program somewhere too. Wow, I am an asshole.

Well, you see, I would assume that the person that was bricked had flashme installed on his DS, since he said here:
QUOTE

So because flashme didnt work I tried to install noflashme and it WORKED.
Thank you all here.
Now I am without flashme so I will install it again.

He said it on this thread.

So I guess he was bricked because he had flashme installed, which allowed the sent homebrew (bricker) to boot. Normally, unbricking the DS was to perform ppflash or through slot 2 device, but I guess alternatively, uninstalling flashme also does the trick.

I remember reading on the DS Bricker Wiki page, and I will summarize it, that it's ok if you have Flashme installed, because you can rewrite the firmware to the system. But, if you have vanilla firmware (the average DS system), you're pretty much screwed.

Well, yeah, but noflashme uninstalls flashme from the ds, so I'm thinking he already had flashme installed when he booted that bricker. Alternatively, if he had "vanilla firmware", then I would assume that the nds bricker has the official nintendo signed key in it.

Either way, we need to find a way to fake the signature, or to actually get the key (which we might be able to do from receiving the source of ds bricker).
