HaxxStation: DS Download Station exploit



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!

Exploit: shutterbug2000, Gericom, and Apache Thunder
Graphics: Jaames, Robz8

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.

Also, maybe @Apache Thunder could make some more ROM embeddable emulators? A GB or GBC emulator would be nice. Perhaps a SNES emulator too... However, we would need to devise a way to save games. I tried a saveable version of TLoZ and it didn't keep the save as expected...

We will never able to save because the game goes to RAM

could we not make haxxstation add something to the game in ram that sends save data to the system that is broadcasting haxxstation and it is broadcasted when haxxstation is sent out.

Sounds pretty doubtful but maybe?

No? Unless we can get a donor cart to overwrite? I dont know if we have cart access though.

There are some arcade games that doesn't need save fuction.

That is just a password, not saving.

might be due to the english patch or a bad rom

Bootlegs aren't always nice, just remember that not all emulators play nice with the same ROM. Try using it not packaged as a single on whatever the emulator for the DS is. I had a problem with trying to get Animal Forest (N64 Animal Crossing) to run on my phone, and the emulator didn't have RTC support, so it didn't boot. I assumed it was a bad ROM, but when I tested it on the computer, it was OK.

I actually forgot about that. nesDS for whatever reason doesn't like that particular bootleg. Super Mario World for NES bootleg runs fine, and a few others I think but not that one.

Since I did enjoy that nesDS version for this quite a bit (finished megaman 2 in it today for the 100th time, was quite fun as always :P ) I decided to make a branch of GameYob that does the same thing, accepts a rom.gb when compiling and then play that back:

edit: oh and just got done "testing" GameYob by playing through good old super mario land, at least for short and easy games like that DS Download Play is great!
