Quality ?? - what do you mean by that - I agree the Firmware is not up to scratch, but as for the card working etc, I've got no complaints (unlike the AK2i I have)

@ Spinal, small bug found

:-

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet or not, but a lot of people are having trouble with DSision/YSmenu ROM launching
They try launching & all what happens is YSmenu starts up but doesn't run the ROM

I've found out that it's because DSision is putting the wrong path into the AUTO_BOOT line of YSMenu.ini
It's making 'AUTO_BOOT=ds games/xxxxxxx.nds' yet the people don't have the ROMs in a 'ds games' folder (they have them in the root directory usually) so it should really be 'AUTO_BOOT=xxxxxxx.nds'

After telling them to put them into a 'ds games' folder cures it for them but why is it doing it in the first place ??

Any chance you can look into this ? - if it need to be left as it is perhaps you can let 'Jester13' know so that he can alter his Guide to include a step of 'Place your ROMs into a 'ds folder' for YSmenu to work properly'

Cheers

So do I - but you have to wait until Spinal can figure out WHY it is happening before he can produce a fix for it

Does it works with EDGE?

i am noob......

Unfortunately I can't help - there's hasn't been an entry @ This Thread for an EDGE card.

If the EDGE can run homebrew software I can't really see why not

All I can suggest is back up the files on your EDGE card (just to be safe) & give it a try yourself.
Any problem's, post back here & I'm sure someone could possibly help

It's been over a month now since anyone posted anything here

Any news yet on bug fixes Spinal ?? (SDHC and also the one I found about 'DS Games' folder)

What's the problem (please give details of Flashcard/Size of memory card etc) some1 may be able to help

 

[Don Tonberry]

I have Supercard DS One (SDHC) and I installed the Fourfold loader but when i turn the DS on, it won't load DSision. It has the start screen but then gets stuck at the 2 green screens (loading on bottom, time on top)

I loaded it from YSmenu and it works though

 

[CannonFoddr]

To Spinal: I've noticed a few people keep asking similar questions about problems with DSision.
Hope you don't mind but I've created a DSision F.A.Q.Problems thread that hopefully answers a few of them.
If you like you can post a link to it

To Everyone: As mentioned above - There's a thread of some of the more 'common' problems. Can I ask that IF you had a problem & found a fix (that actually works) can you post your solution there
(Try & keep the 'format' of the page the same, Question/Problem in BOLD followed by solution in normal text - also try & make the post 'neat' as well so any steps taken can be clearly seen)

Many thanks

Hey Spinal, I was trying to make the DSi theme more DSi-like by adding icons and sounds, but I've run into a few problems.
A. sounds don't play at all in April release, only click sound in January release
B. My icons and icon frame are glitched up
Here are the icons and icon frame:

But here's what they look like in DSision:

I edited some of the icons that were already in the theme, none of them had the right colors though, so I converted them to RGB and then back to 256 colors. I think the problem might be in the file size, but I dont know how to change it without changing the picture itself. Thanks,

-Tim

 

[spinal_cord]

you need to make sure thay you have less that 230(ish) colours in your image, because the last 16 are overwritten by the nds icons.

If anyone hasn't yet, you can vote for DSision2 in the R4 homebrew contest here.

DSision is a great firmware replacement (is now a permanent fixture on my card despite a few problems which may be due to YSmenu I am unsure) and easily deserves the prize Spinal.

Sucking up over

You going to turn DSi4DS into a firmware replacement like this spinal?

Hello.

Today I set up DSision2 onto my M3 DS Simply, hoping it would fix something neither YS Menu nor the M3 Simply v1.14 Firmware could fix.

What I am talking about is an Autosave issue - one found when booting NRL Mascot Mania or AFL Mascot Manor.

The above 2 games I believe are set to Autosave, although never do, so upon completing a level then shutting down my DS, I cannot resume my progress next time I play - instead I have to begin the whole game again.

I have come across this issue since release, back in July I believe.

Does anyone know of any fixes to this Autosave issue?

Thanks for your time.

DSision2 uses YSMenu to boot commercial games, so no, it won't fix your problem.

First off i have to say thanks to spinal for developing such a nice looking GUI. You brought new life to alot of people's old flash cards! it is awesome. I am having a problem editing some of the default icons in dsision. I thought the best way to show you what i mean is by making a diagram:

So basically all i want to do is have the nds_frame icon from the dsi skin load up the same way they do in the ipod skin. I can't understand what is happening when i change the color from green to white. All i am using is MS paint. And the default icon from the ipod skin is white, and that works, so why not for the dsi skin?

Any tips would be alot of help, i am creating a nice skin based off of a skin i had for R4 which is just based off of the actual DS firmware.

 

[spinal_cord]

You need to edit the theme.ini. I forget what the value is called, but it tells DSision which colour to mask out when showing the icon. You will need to find the palette index for that dolour, but that should be easy in most paint apps.

Does this work with Normmatt's AKAIO Moonshell ROM loader? If it does, then you can easily make this run ROMs on Acekard.
