    Hacking Hardware Unintrusive bluetooth mod for Ds Lite.

    If you mean use a custom made gba cart as a bluetooth transmitter, you will probably Just use the gba slot to get Power from. Since no audio can be transmitted to it (you would need to patch every ROM with custom code for your transmitter, which would be insane), a much feasible way would be to...

    building devkitARM: calico

    The fact that he likes to compare silly development behavior with cats and the fact that Catnip was the trigger for this issue is simply mind blowing. Does the cat here doesn't like catnip after all, or doesn't it affects me because I am a parrot? :D

    building devkitARM: calico

    No, there are missing pieces. I can't get nds-examples to compile because the crt0 shipped with the buildscripts references removed symbols from libnds. That must somehow reference calico instead, but where is the updated crt0? But the point I made is that I got it to build despite their almost...

    How in pair is BlockDS to 2021 version of devkitARM? I may just migrate to BlockDS. I don't use NitroFS in my homebrew and I may contribute to BlockDS myself.

    Most libraries seems to be licensed under GPL or similar. If they keep with this sort of behavior it will eventually backfire and a fork will take place.

    building devkitARM: calico

    Actually, not. I am not trying to Frankenstein it with a bunch of old versions combined with new versions of the libraries. I am cloning things from their own git repo.

    Having cutting-edge version of something breaking compatibility with old software is usual, if not expected. For example, libLLVM doesn't even try to keep compatibility with software linked with older versions of it. It is your responsibility to ensure that your software links fine with libLLVM...

    building devkitARM: calico

    I am writing this post as a way to express my frustration about building the recent version of devkitARM from sources. The buildscripts provided here are not enough for you to get it up and running, and you need to find out some missing pieces: general-tools, ndstool, libgba, libnds and libfat...

    Is a FNaF DS recreation possible?

    In any case, the DS is more than capable of running FNAF. I would advise to start from the Nintendo 64 port as the toolchain for it (libdragon) is still active and you can get the ROM to build without issues. Furthermore the graphics are already resized to something that the DS can handle (both...

    Hardware Misc What is the coolest original DS feature?

    The touch screen and wi-fi multiplayer were quite impressive from gameplay perspective. FPS like Metroid prime did control very well using the touch screen, and the download n play was quite a frature, as I often couldn't find people with Mario Patty or Mario Kart. That made sure they could...

    The Nintendo DS Scene is Underrated

    As a kid without those phancy phones/palmtops, my Nintendo DS lite was quite an amazing piece of hardware to own. Connecting to wi-fi and MSN Messenger? Yes, It did that. How about a lookup on Wikipedia on some subject? Yes, it did that. Chat on IRC? Yes, It did that. Read e-books? Quite a...

    Homebrew Reccomendations

    Non-games utilities: - Unlaunch, Twilightmenu and NDSbootstrap - Poke-chest - GBARunner - GodMode9i At some point those were very useful to me, but not so much now because of the popularity of smartphones: - DSOrganizer (File manager, IRC client, text web browser, and agenda) - Moonshell...

    Start from the Nintendo 64 port. You Will probably have less issues from there. https://n64squid.com/fnaf-64/

    Warcraft 1 & 2 on DS(i) ?

    Well, that would be porting this stratagus engine for DS / DSi. The issue here is that there is no indication that this engine will fit in a DS/DSi memory / CPU constrains. Vanilla-Conquer OTOH is the original Windows 95 port that went opensource when the Remaster collection was released. And...
