Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

ds mode screenshots would be cool

That will almost never happen

well its not impossible theres sd access so you would need to have the screen shot thing running in the ram like nitro hax cheat codes and it screen shots the game and saves it to sd

eh why does ds craft not work with the homebrew launcher

ds i clock speeds are 133mhz which is faster then showen in the vid i don't have mkds but i tried it on pokemon and it does not make it go that fast whys that

How sure are you about that? I tried it and it didnt make the game so supersonic like in the video but i saw minor improvements in the game such as far less loading which was annoying before and most improtantly..the framerate. Normally. The battle screen is choppy and its prone to a slow framerate. But With the mod. It buffed right out making the game more playable than it ever was.

SOFTWARE WRITTEN FOR THE DS IS HARDCODED TO LOAD ASSETS FROM THE CARD SLOT AND WON'T RUN FROM THE SD CARD UNLESS PATCHED

edit: i tried to put the clap emoji after each word but it was stripped out so it just looks like i'm yelling, sorry

Flashcarts patch the roms to load from the micro sd card in it so I think it's possible to patch roms to load from the sd (correct me if I'm wrong)

Would it be possible to write an unbricker for nds flashcarts using the stuff that's been figured out so far? Something like the flasher for dstt clones? i realize the point of all this work is to make flashcarts obsolete, but it might help people who don't have a spare cart to unbrick with.

@Apache Thunder alreally made a stage3 Launcher which could be used to unbrick cards.

Just to make sure. When hbmenu comes capable to run commercial roms. Does that mean that it would work on a DSi with Sudokuhax running hbmenu as "boot.nds"? Afaik all that hbmenu does doesn't have nothing to do with CTR itself, but yeah with TWL/NTR, right?

Is the stage 3 launcher card-specific? I saw the three in the OP of the stage2 launcher thread, but none of them have worked so far. That's probably because the firmware on my cart is 100% screwed though, thanks to an update mishap. Sorry if this is thread derailing

Spoiler: My card if anyone's interrested

 

[Apache Thunder]

You should not need a launcher other then my TWL Slot-1 Launcher to boot that card. It's branded for use on a 3DS. If it fails to boot either you're CFW configuration is incorrect or the card is defective.

can ds roms be decompiled to get source code or decypted

 

[Billy Acuña]

From here, people who gets annoyed by @hacksn5s4 should block him instead reply him.

No, only Nintendo can do that.

how are rom hacks meant to work then

Do you know what a romfs is? DS games have something similar. However this is not source

yes its the roms file system but it sounds like ds games are going to have to be patched to work off sd like some homebrews

Patches don't always mean editing source... Action replay codes are technically patches and they don't edit source at all

SudokuHax is limited in the access it have so it impossible to implement for example the switch to ds mode (ARM7 special registers are locked). Maybe dsi enhanced game rom loading will be possible at some point but for original ds game, there is no way.

Ohh, I see, at this point I think that DSi needs its own CFW in order to handheld hbmenu/nitrohax/ntr launcher [emoji14]
