Homebrew DSi Homebrew Channel (requires sudokuhax) (DSi Entry)

[VatoLoco]

Alrighty, I did some trouble-shooting and was able to solve my blackscreen issue, it didnt like that i had a grip of pics (@ 300 in three folders), so i removed those from the card and left around 10 photos in my DCIM/100NIN02 folder. That worked=D

So it seems like it bogs down/freezes (i let it try to boot for @5mins) with a buttload of pics on my SD.

Anyway, looking nice, spinal =)
I sure hope the next version of libnds supports writing so i can save on cquake, nes, dsx86, etc.

It would be even better if you could use the sudohax to install a homebrew channel on the menu and have it run from there.

i have an 8GB card and the menu loads up but i cant scroll through the menu so idk if that could be fixed

afaik, it shouldn't even manage to read the filenames on an sdhc card. It should be fine on a 2gb or less card though.

im getting a black screen on boot with sudokuhax and the boot.nds supplied here.

I have a 2GB SD Card too..

EDIT - Saw Above post..moved DCIM folder completely out of SD card...worked

now to try the "Homebrew Bounty" special DSx86!

Really liked the hbc, made my sudoku hack much more useful!

List of homebrews that I tested:

- nesds (save states and normal saves don't work, but it's very useful since many games uses passwords or don't require saving)
- DSx86 (it works but it can't save or modify files)
- DS2key (compiled myself using the latest libraries, it boots but fails to connect to the wifi)
- Moonshell (couldn't get it working, even if I used the iEvo version)
- X3 zoom demo (it boots, but it freezes with the message "NitroFS init. Please wait.")

From my experience I can tell that if the homebrew is compiled with the latest libraries, it will boot and won't crash (probably). But it seems wifi is not accessible, and the SD card is currently read-only. I can't say anything about the camera, because I don't know any homebrew that uses it.
I guess it's just a matter of time for the libnds updates to enable these features, since DSiware is capable of accessing wifi, use the camera and maybe even write data to SD card, it's a shame few people got this exploit and I hope there will be more exploits like this.

Yes... unfortunately DSi SD driver is far from complete... just SD read support...
And actually all softwares which doesn't support ARGV either libfat 1.0.8+ won't work, as chdir to sd:/ is required...
If only MoonShell2 is recompilable...

DSi SD is ARM7 thing, so DLDI cannot help... (libfat communicates with ARM7 using FIFO)

I upped it to Filetrip, since Spinal's site is down for an indeterminate amount of time.
