    Homebrew Updates about nesDS...

    quicksort isn't popular because it's memory friendly (bubble actually is smaller) it's popular because it's quite fast. it's an O(n log n) sort compared to bubble's O(n^2) so in almost every circumstance, it's significantly faster, and as your list to sort grows, it's often exponentially...

    Hacking DSTT Boot Issues

    Where are you encountering problems? Is your system booting to the default DS home menu as if no cart was present, or are you hanging up on the DSTT loading screen? In the first case, the most likely issue is just a poor connection. The DSTT and clones often have trouble with the edge...

    Hacking Contacting the Wood4TT author

    Well, I'm hoping if we can get Dragon to release his source, we can convince YWG to re-open his SVN and start updating Wood4TT. One important thing to understand about the GPL is that you don't necessarily have to publically publish the source. What you are required to do is, on request...

    Hacking ANiMeX R4i Revolution (www.ndsiLL.net) Unofficial Updates/RLS

    If you want, it's actually pretty easy to expand the menu structure on cards like this; my r4igold.cn uses essentially the same firmware. I'm sure you've worked out that the files have largely been renamed; the .bin files in plugins are renamed .NDS files and the ones in system vary (for...

    Hacking Contacting the Wood4TT author

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has tried asking Dragon (the Wood4TT author) for the source directly. After doing a search here, it doesn't look like anyone realized the last part of the name he posted (xMOiWm66pBTN onion) is a TorChat user ID - TorChat is an IM client that runs over...

    Hacking DSTT Clone 3DS Support

    Oh yeah, I seriously doubt it supports 3DS mode, but it may be a useful find for firmware developers here looking to add 3DS support (for regular DS roms) to other DSTT clones and the original DSTT.

    Hacking DSTT Clone 3DS Support

    So I swung by the official site for my el-cheapo DSTT clone (R4iGold.cn - the one with mario on the box) to notice that they posted firmware that supposedly supports the 3DS this week. With no 3DS to test it, I can't confirm it works, but the various folk working on firmware here may be...

    Gaming List of Missed/Undumped USA roms

    i'm also waiting for DSTT dat sets for this; on the upside, it runs in desmume, so the dump itself seems okay.

    Homebrew The MenuDO FAQ

    well, technically it does have a loader for homebrew, but i'm just being pedantic it's kind of neat to poke around the source, there are clear provisions in it for a future commercial rom loader that never came to pass.

    Hacking MENudo For TTDS (Working loading for Commercial Roms)

    the regular YSMenu works fine with MENUdo on my DSTTi clone and 4gb SDHC.

    Hacking infolib.dat till 5522!

    Yeah, at least with the wiki it's possible to figure out how to download without google translate or several years of chinese lessons

    Suggestion: Official GBAtemp DSTT dat sets

    There's a lot of reasons for drama, and nobody involved is entirely innocent. I say eliminate the issue entirely and make dat sets a collaborative community process; while retro's releases are great, there's nothing stopping him from retiring tomorrow and demanding that nobody ever add...

    Hacking Retro - to be or not to be

    His work deserves respect. His behavior deserves condemnation. I've got no issue with how he makes his dats or how he chooses to schedule his releases. I'm personally a bit doubtful about how technically skilled he actually is, as I haven't seen evidence that he's coding his cracks from...

    Hacking infolib.dat till 5522!

    You can get dstt's fixes straight from the source at http://r4ds.uueasy.com/read-htm-tid-15651.html. As for the menu language, if you're using YSMenu, you should be able to switch the language in ysmenu.ini; make sure you've got the english text in there and uncomment "LITERALS=LITERALS_ENG"...

    Hacking R4igold.cn .. better firmware?

    I run the same flashcart, and I've noticed that the filesystem on the SD card has a profound effect on speed. Try formatting it with the panasonic SD formatter. (http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html) Obviously, you'll want to back up the data on your card first; on...
