13 years.

The original DS was released in 2004, and to this day, no hax for Download Play had been made.

Until now.

Gericom found an exploit in DS Download Station, allowing us to run any homebrew we'd like over DS download play.

Source code for dspatch: https://github.com/Gericom/dspatch

Enjoy!

And if you want to load unsupported flashcarts on a DSi:

Yes.
Here's Apache Thunder's flashcard launchers edited for HaxxStation. @shutterbug2000 should put this in the first post.

No, I mean TWLoader.

There are no Icons nor Downloaded Box arts on my SD.

Did you replace the _nds folder on your SD Card with the 4.0.0 one?

 

[FIX94]

How soon do you think it'll be done? I can't get it working with nds-bootstrap and I don't have a flashcart

every time you ask I'll delay it for real though, I dont know, can take me days or weeks or never finish it depending on how hard it gets.

Yes.

 

[PrincessLillie]

Yes.

Try a fresh install. Delete _nds and uninstall TWLoader and the TWLSide app. Then, install version 4.0.0's CIAs and 4.0.0's _nds folder.

Still Crashes. :T Maybe because I'm using Luma 8.0?

No, that wouldn't be it... What's in your ROMs/nds folder?

 

[Deleted User]

No, that wouldn't be it... What's in your ROMs/nds folder?

Just wiped my roms folder (backed the roms and saves on computer) and only put the HaxStation rom in there. the NDS folder is default with only a few added (but empty) folders for Icons and stuff. Still Crashes.

 

[urherenow]

do you have flashcardtimewarp or a pre-patched TWL or AGB firm installed? Luma explicitly tries to patch those, so it throws-up when they're already patched. And what about themes? Reset to a default theme as well, if you're using a custom one. And finally, are you using a nightly/hourly build? There are plenty of other bugs in the first 8.0 release. Especially with patching turned on...

Only one or multiple ROMs? What do you have active in Luma config and are you running hourly or stable?

Flashcartimewarp isn't installed, and what do you mean by pre-patched TWL or AGB Firms? I only got the TWLoader and installed its TWL-Side and app CIA installed. Also resetting the Theme didn't work

Running 8.0 Stable. and I had Multiple ROMS. Now one.

You know, nobody uses pre-patched firms nowdays.

Is it working with only one ROM? What do you have active in Luma config?

Nope, it keeps crashing, also:

N3DS CPU: Clock + L2
Enable Game Patching
Show Nand String stuff
Show GBA boot Screen in patched ABG_FIRM

Disable the N3DS CPU, that's been known to cause crashes with multiple homebrew.

Hi, I wrote this for those that, like me, started to read this and didn't understood a **** on how to make this work.
FIrst of all you need:

• Two consoles (or more), one as host and the other/s as guest/s
• a Flashcart (anyone that works with your host DS/DSI/2DS/3DS) with his respective sd card to load the final archive.
• A game rom called Download station Vol 1 that you cand find at the web.
• This file: https://gbatemp.net/attachments/dspatch-zip.89444/ provided by @shutterbug2000
• Patience.. Well, it's really easy in deed..So you didn't need it.

The next is to put the dowload station.nds rom, the dspatch.exe file and the rom you want to load (let's take as example Mario Kart), in this case Mario Kart.nds on the same folder to make it work.

Then you need to execute cmd.exe and change the directory to the one in wich you put the files (previous step). If you don't know how to do it, take a breath, don't pull off your hair, google it or go to this link: http://www.digitalcitizen.life/command-prompt-how-use-basic-commands

Then, you need to change the names of the files download station (change it to download_station.nds) and the rom you've selected, in this case Mario Kart (rename it to rom_to_boot.nds). Do not ignore the _

Back to cmd, and once you've changed your directory (if you don't do it, it won't work), put the next line in the command shell: dspatch.exe download_station.nds rom_to_boot.nds result.nds

As result of this action, you'll see that in the folder you have the files there's a new file called result.nds
The next is to load that file anywhere inside the flashcart mini sd, it can be the folder where you have loaded your games, on the root directory, well, you know..

Then boot your DS/2DS/3DS host with the flashcart inserted and run it. You will find a file called HaxxStation, the icon seems to be a half broked ds. Wait a few seconds or just press A. Then, on the guest/s console/s (every DS/DSI/2DS/3DS has a download mode. In 2DS/3DS select DS download instead of 3DS download) enter to download mode and select HaxxStation.

Well, that's all. Hope you like. I can traslade it to Spanish for those who need it. Greets

Don't post the link of the Download station! its against the rules of this forum! Its copyrighted content from Ninty

 

[PrincessLillie]

Just did that, annnnd it still crashes.

I don't know then.

It's best to use the latest TWLoader and bootstrap, and wait for game compatibility on bootstrap to be improved.
