Homebrew [Release] SRLSelector - A simple boot manager for the Nintendo DSi

[Billy Acuña]

Since I have a dsiwarehaxed DSi I always wanted a boot manager to select between SRLoader and HBMenu when I run hax, so I went ahead to make this simple boot manager.

SRLSelector is a simple boot manager based on the bootstrap from nds-hbmenu by Chishm, WinterMute and highly inspired by FIX94's arm9select.

Instructions
Put the BOOT.NDS from the release on the root of your SD and create a folder called /SRLSELECTOR, then put your DSi's homebrew inside the folder and rename them to the botton you want to assing (Example: B.NDS, DOWN.NDS, START.NDS, etc). Name DEFAULT.NDS the homebrew you want to autoboot by default, If you want to know what bottons are supported take a look here. Then simply boot your favorite dsiwarehax, hold the botton of the homebrew you want (or don't hold anything if you want to run the default) and enjoy.

Looks nice! I have to ask, since this is buttons-only, is there any interface? I'll have to try this out.

Probably will implement a menu with custom backgrounds later, for now it fits my needs

Oh wow, will definitely use this to AutoBoot SRLoader. Thanks for the Hax!

this should be on dsibrew

Lol, this is just a simple nds file that chainloads another multiple nds files.

Yes, but it's the first and it's amazing.

It's too bad this will probably be obsolete for RocketLauncher/HiyaCFW users when that becomes a thing.

For some reason if I boot into fwTool using this, it shuts down the system instead of running boot.nds when I choose the exit option. Doesn't happen when using hbmenu or SRLoader to run it.

Well, it was planned for autoboot users including much more stuff then just a bootstrap loader, things such GUI, build-in ntr launcher and reboot into rocketlauncher for non autoboot users
Also, no body knows when rocketlauncher will be released, even you don't, so this version still have a porpuse and will for a while.

finally you say something

Yeah I'm still waiting for a nand file manager to hit the scene. Relying on fwtool to install RocketLauncher will result in more newbies bricking their DSi's. Already starting to see that from people trying to sudokuhax via the leaked ugopwn exploit.

But when that happens, you get to have the convienience of something like this:

I didn't tested with fwtool (I only tested with HBMenu and SRLoader), if you set A.NDS for fwtool, it will obviously shut down since the first option in the menu is "Exit".

I have it set to start.nds (which is the button I had decrypt9 as on my 3ds.), it doesn't instantly shut down, when I click exit it shuts down the system. Normal behavior is it running boot.nds on the sd card.

Probably is convienet, but as for me I don't feel excited for a patched Nintendo's DSi Menu, imo SRLoader is a much better alternative to Nintendo's DSi Menu, so with this I can decide what to boot between HiyaCFW, Enhanced SRLoader and NTR Launcher.
Btw, what is that Sonic icon on you menu? An updated version of PicodriveDS?

Nah That's a version of NesDS with a bootleg Sonic 1 NES game built in.

Its good that only US Devices are supported in that leak... Would be very bad if it was a "completed" leak...
