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.

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

oh ok. rip

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

wait is that the multiboot version? nice

EDIT: this seems like a stupid comment when i read your quote

 

[Valery0p]

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.

There is a Dsi version of DLStation? O_O

Didn't say that.

 

[Mnecraft368]

wow so i didnt waste 13 gb downloading visual studio
built dspatch from source

@Gericom can i upload the compiled version here?

 

[THYPLEX]

You can run unsupported flashcards with this.

How ?

 

[RocketRobz]

How ?

You need two DS family consoles. One with a flashcard containing HaxxStation with the launcher, the other that you want to run your flashcard on.

Sure, I gave shutterbug the new version, but he didn't update the first post yet it seems.

 

[Mnecraft368]

OK, Here is the new version then!

EDIT: ninja'd, its on the front post

I had some problems with NesDS Singles "caching" the ROM after building the NDS file, so here's a script I made for NesDS Singles. Requires devkitPro and Notepad++.

1. Download The Script.
2. Download NesDS Singles.
3. Extract the NesDS Singles ZIP. You should have a folder name NesDS-master, and a folder named NesDS-master inside of that. Place my script in the same directory as the SECOND NesDS-master folder. So you should have something like C:\Users\YourMom\Desktop\NesDS-master\NesDS-master\.
4. Place your NES ROM's in the same folder as nesTOnds.bat.
5. Rename NesDS_Singles to NesDS_Singles_bak.
6. Run nesTOnds.bat and type in the name of your NES ROM.
7. Modify the title and subtitle if you want and exit Notepad++.
8. NES file will be compiled, and will save the converted ROM to myNESromName_nesTOnds.nds.
9. This NDS file can be used with HaxxStation. Use my HaxxStation Script for easier use.

after breaking my head the last 2 days over how the wii does ds things I now was able to successfully send over a legit srl file via wii ds download play, this is quite a good start but needs quite a bit of cleanup still, the next big thing I now would need is the data that ds download station sends over to also allow unsigned nds files to be sent directly from a wii

Wow, nice job! Is your PoC tool able to send over Homebrew like HaxxStation is able to, or only signed/official SRL files? Either way, super cool!

to start out with it only allows official ones, to send over unsigned ones I will need to send over ds download station and then emulate the calls that ds download station normally does to send over the haxxstation exploit.

Ok I will take my Wii from the closet

FYI: Writing a shell script that runs a Windows executable via Wine or Mono does not count as a "Linux version".

 

[Valery0p]

Didn't say that.

B-but srl are dsi executables, right?
Can someone explain what DsDwlPlay and SRL do together?

SRL is just the official extension for nds (and also dsi) roms

SRLs are just the same as .nds files. SRL is the official filetype name.

 

[GerbilSoft]

SRLs are just the same as .nds files. SRL is the official filetype name.

The real question is: What does "SRL" mean? (IIRC it's also used for GBA files.)

I wonder if it's listed in the AGB devkit documents...
