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.

Mentioned before but is there a way to recreate "trailers" into the download station (haxxstation)?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Haha, no problem. It's pretty easy to add multiple rom support, I just don't really know what would be the best way to put it in a command line interface. Maybe I should use things like -s station_rom.nds -o output.nds -i input1.nds -i input2.nds or something.

I reccommend using station_rom.nds output.nds -i (number of roms) rom1.nds rom2.nds rom3.nds etc

Is there a user friendly UI in the works? Or just a UI in general? I cant figure this out.

I made a batch file you can use.
Make sure all roms/dspatch is in the same folder as this and download station must be
named download_station.nds becuase i didnt make a prompt for it

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

also you have to add .nds onto the file names (including output)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Usage:
Enter ROM to broadcast name: (homebrew/demo that will be sent out via haxxstation).nds
Enter output name: (name the file dspatch will generate).nds

So just have the batch file, download_station.ds, and the .nds files I want in the same folder and run the batch file?

Yes, and the dspatch.exe file

 

[MrCatFace]

Yes, and the dspatch.exe file

Oh ok. Any limit on amount of .nds files or naming constraints?

It seems to not like spaces very much, they sometimes work but use _ instead. Currently only 1 rom is supported with haxxstation and ofc as i mentioned download station is download_station.nds

OK. Thank you so much for the help!

No problem, it confused me at first too!"

any dates on multirom support?

any dates on multirom support?

Did you know that nagging is not the best way to get something...

Anyway, the source of the latest version with multirom support is here: https://github.com/Gericom/dspatch. The first post was already updated. We still have to upload a compiled version though.

oh ok sorry

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

now the source is releases, could we modify the download station logo that appears on the top screen?

That was tried before, and worked, but since we found out that we can run uncompressed SRLs from the unmodded DLStation menu SRL, it's not included.

what are SRLs

 

[RocketRobz]

what are SRLs

Same as .nds files.

 

[Mnecraft368]

also is there a guide to change it?

No.

You cannot change it. The loader has to be signed to startup from the downloadplay menu. Any change will render the signature invalid.

I have a compiled version ready for Linux AND Windows. Both are in the same archive but the Linux version relies on the Windows EXE to be in the same folder as it. I will upload it here in a sec
