GBA DS Style — A Nintendo DS-Inspired Custom Kernel for EZ-Flash Omega & Omega DE

[FrankieT19]

For anyone interested in trying the expanded cheat support, an experimental Omega DE build is available here.

Unfortunately, the expanded cheat engine pushes the kernel beyond the size limit of the original Omega, so this test is only available for the Omega Definitive Edition.

Skiller’s converter can be used to create cheats in the expanded format. This is an external tool and is not maintained as part of DS Style.

I do not personally use cheats, so I will not be able to troubleshoot individual cheat codes, formats, or converter issues. Please treat this as an experimental build, back up your saves before testing.

Thank you to Skiller for contributing the expanded cheat-engine work.

Hi! I was wondering if the DS Style Thumbnail Scraper could be updated to support scraping for other systems (Game Boy, Game Boy Color, PC Engine, etc) that are supported by the emulators? I use custom art for those games now, but it would be nice to not have to manually source every thumbnail for non-GBA games.

Hi

I was working on this actually!

It's not finished for the standalone Thumbnail Scraper exe but it's working on the online manager I am currently making

You can try it out here, on the Artwork tab: DS Style Online Manager

I noticed that in 7.1 and 7.2 the quick start menu has some words overlapping each others in French. I assume some should be shortened.

Ah I see, thank you for letting me know! I really need to go through all the languages and check them properly. I'll fix this for the next update

I need this in my life, the menu systems in DS carts always leave something to be desired.

Version 7.3 is now available!

This is a smaller update focused on bug fixes and general menu polish.

• Fixed translated save-type labels overlapping their values in the game launch menu.
• Improved List + Art drawing and transitions from the standard List view.
• Refined the cheat screen, with smoother navigation.
• Fixed the Help screen clock and page indicator not refreshing correctly.
• Fixed artwork borders flickering in the horizontal carousel.
• Added support for full-screen themes without a separate top bar through Customiser v2.0.

As always, please let me know if you spot any issues. Thank you to everyone who reported the problems addressed in this update!

i was reading the update page for the DE is it now only for the new REV B now..?

No, it is not only for Rev.B. DS Style supports both Omega Definitive Edition revisions:

• Rev.A running Firmware 5.0
• Rev.B running Firmware 7.0

The warning is for the newly released Omega Definitive Edition B, which is marked EZODE-B, and is unsupported. That is a separate third model and is not the same. Rev.A and Rev.B can be thought of as functionally identical, and run the same kernel.
