Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

[CeeDee]

We can install as many as we like.

Will they all boot the same game, though, then? Eg if I have SM64DS and Pokemon Black 2, would they individually boot?

Also, Do I run the homebrew through YSMenu.nds? If so, I get UNKNOWN_DLDI_TYPE. I'm running R4 Wood on my flashcart as its main firmware.

Yes. Check 0xD1A0 on every NDS file.

For the CIAs, it will launch (for example) SM64DS.dat on the flashcard.

 

[CeeDee]

Yes.

What does that load? The CIA is giving me a white screen right now.

Also, is there any way to make our own CIAs?

Help me, I'm so confused...

It's supposed to load SM64DS.dat (the edited abpathsetter.nds file) on the flashcard root, but since you're getting a white screen, is your flashcard a TTDS clone?

It runs R4 Wood, so I don't think so?

Download this pack.

Extract what in "for TTDS microSD" to the flashcard microSD card.
For the case of Super Mario 64 DS, rename abpathsetter.nds to SM64DS.dat (as located on the launcher (NDS) at 0xD1A0). The homebrew I created (already DLDI patched) will set the autoboot rom path in YSMenu.ini on the microSD root, and boot YSMenu.nds also on the root, so rename/backup any existing YSMenu.ini file that's anywhere on the card.

Using a hex-editor, fill 0x22DE7 through 0x22EE8 with 00s, and set the full ROM path at 0x22DE7 (like "Games/SM64DS.nds"), use "Paste write" if path is copied.

Finally, install the CIA and launch it.

Does this also work for R4i SHDH?

[Billy Acuña]

Ok, SM64's forwarder doesn't run SM64 but boots YSMenu, I have ysmenu.ini as "SM64DS.ini" on the root of my flashcard's SD (setted "games/SM64DS.nds" as autoboot).
Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working be sure to edit the .dat in the hexedit part.

 

[CeeDee]

Just a fair warning to all, it does not and probably will not ever work with an r4ids.cn cart, sadly.

If I am not wrong, we need a "blue cart launcher" for that, dunno if one of the @Apache Thunder's would work on a blue cart.

The ROM name can have spaces.

So, can I use my original Cyclo evolution DS flash cart with my 3ds yet?

@Bobesh8 was talking about this!

Might be the answer!

Why is this? I can see that my cart came from there, it has that address printed on the card and in the flashcard's menu. It's this card:

Supposedly its an R4i Gold, but none of the flashcard launches work (it will boot normally of course). Is it because it's a stage 1 card and not a stage 2 card? Are stage 1 cards just completely unable to be handled this way?

If your card has r4ids.cn on it, it can't be used. There are so many different "R4 Gold" cards that the best way to tell is by their site.
