    Hacking 1.1.3 is out

    The fact they implemented arm7 fix is promising, as it confirms that they are still working on rom compatability even if, for legal reasons, they prefer not to shout about it. Sadly I think this may yet only be a swan song for dsx as the damage of the delay and lack of communication is surely...

    Hacking Mostly, nothing works on the ds-x

    I made a comment in the "dsx in serious trouble" thread I started that the 1.1.3 firmware was in fact already months old (something suggested here by reveng) and therefore, even the release of said firmware: a) won't fix recent compatibility probs b) does not prove the team are still active...

    Hacking What do you think of Ds-x?

    Well jolly good for you. Shame that, even after applying the arm7 fix, increasing numbers of games don't work (freezing on a white or black screen usually), there's a long list of suggested improvements to the os posted in the forum (at the developers invitation) yet to be made e. g. NO SOFT...

    Hacking Customs charge of £11 !?

    It's quite an eye opener when you discover just how un-free world trade still is, isn't it? Countries pretending to reduce trade tariffs while simultaneously putting in sneaky "admin" charges like you have paid is as old as the hills. And yet, where jobs are concerned, we're all in a highly...

    Hacking DS-Xtreme OpenSource Firmware Project

    Hey, if people keep hassling you for updates, just try We thank you for your loyalty and patience during this period and would like to assure all of you that we are still here and still very much behind our product. Apparently, everyone should be satisfied with that for months and months!

    Hacking i need help with saving games

    Hello, I can confirm Mario Party can definitely be patched to work on the DSX. Are you on firmware 1.1.2? When you say "not working" do you mean you still get the unable to create save error or a white screen or something? Even after arm7 patching some roms seem to have problems - e. g. My...

    Hacking TeamR4DS! Vs TeamXodus/DSX

    Yes, There are many unpaid, one person, back bedroom developers who could teach these guys a thing or two about customer service. No matter how small they are, someone needed to take a mere 5 minutes (or less) to post on their website or the official forums: "We have been experiencing...

    Hacking DS-Xtreme OpenSource Firmware Project

    Yes, the best scenario is for the dsx team to hand over the source so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Is there any chance of this if we asked them nicely? Or at least open a dialogue with them? I suppose it would also require an official "abandonment" - if the team is supposed to...

    Hacking Banned Forever

    Yes I threw that review into the mix over at the official forum, don't know how long that thread will last (and for that matter, do we know what people are really posting!). It's an important turning point that GBATemp now have a bad review for the device (there are others but this is a...

    Hacking DS-Xtreme OpenSource Firmware Project

    Hey - this could be serious pie in the sky here, but would it be theoretically possible for the launcher or even a .NDS to write a new configuration to the FPGA on demand? So you load, say, MAME and the FPGA is configured as an additional cpu or support chipset, you load a browser and it...

    Hacking Banned Forever

    It saddens me what's happening because actually, I care. I want this to be my main cart, but as it stands it can't be. I'd already tried a microsd based solution and quickly realised I wasn't going to like swapping the card from cart to pc reader and back again each time I wanted to add...

    Hacking Banned Forever

    I've noticed a big chunk of one of my posts was edited by said moderator. I wanted to see what people thought about my theory that the project has been abandoned, but they won't officially say so until they've offloaded their stock, or may never officially say so... I don't like that -...

    Hacking DS-Xtreme OpenSource Firmware Project

    I wonder how big a memory space it could be configured to pretend to be? I'm thinking opera browser without needing a slot 2 card.....

    Hacking DS-Xtreme OpenSource Firmware Project

    Sure does - I guess that what most users perceive as "firmware" then is actually the launcher - to rectify the main concerns of dsx owners (lack of compatibility [e. g. arm7 fix], slow startup time, no soft reset etc) would be more of a ds programming project than a machine...
