My card's always been a DSTWO, so I have no need for this, but it's really cool that you're doing this.
Nice job!

Here's a comparison between the YSMenu for M3 Real/i Zero and WoodR4 DSi Launcher SRLs.
M3 on the left, R4 on the right.

You need to convert the SRL to one that has arm9 binary at 4000 offset. This pretty much requires repacking the rom. The reason being that that there needs to be room made for the DSi Extended header which happens to go in an area where homebrew SRLs like to place their Arm9 binaries. :P'


Also, that one for m3 may not work. I noticed that the Arm7 code entry offset and arm7 ram entry offset are set to something TWL_FIRM will refuse to boot. It's the evil number pretty much. TWL_FIRM will error out if I try to boot an SRL using it. Most homebrew work fine with alternate arm7 entry settings. But it tends to break some like DS Firmware SRL and the flashcart rom dumps I have tried. :(

Well try to boot the card with the above DSiWare app.
The "TWL Slot-1 Launcher" cia, or the "wood r4" cia?
Just make sure you have the firmware files for it installed on the MicroSD card of the Supercard as well.
I have copied "SupercardDS.nds" to the microSD of the supercard.

I keep getting the "An error has occured" screen with the both cia.
I even updated rxTools to the 3.0-Beta-2 (o3ds)

The Supercard CIA I made. That's the one I meant. If you get an error has occured message, there's something wrong with your setup. Did you install it to emunand? If so, make sure it's installed to sysnand as well. This isn't like Slot-1 Launcher. It needs to be present on both if launching from emunand.

EDIT: CycloDS Launcher is read:

CycloDSLauncher_Test.rar

It probably won't work though. I had to change the arm7 code/ram entry address settings to get it to boot. It white screens for me. Might boot if a CycloDS is present, but it may not work with the modified Arm7 settings. Worth a shot though. Doesn't look like I can do much to save CycloDS unless there's alternate firmware compatible with it.

Would booting into those SRLs from a different firmware (Like WoodYS does) work, or is it a general problem with those offsets?

This is pretty cool. :)
Sadly though i can't seem to get any of these dsi things you've been releasing to work for some reason. :(
Doesn't matter which i launch, this new one, slot1launcher etc i always get the black screen power off error screen of death. :(
Yes i have the patched twl firm installed on emunand. No idea why it's insta-crashing.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
