And if you do get one with psram issues, it's more than likely the psram was poorly soldered and reflowing it properly will fix the cart (worked with my sample size of 2)
I'd actually recommend having 2 resistors and a 3 pin header. That way it can be safely tied to ground, 3.3v or used for other reasons
Edit: a sp3t switch could be used instead.
How did you relow it? I used my hot air station and some flux and heated up the ice until I could nudge it a bit and it would shift a little bit before going back into place.
No problem. You'll read the reviews to buy 2 or 3 in hopes of getting a working one, and for most people this is the best they can do. It does seem to just be poorly soldered psram though so it should be repairable.
I have an original DS motherboard I have modified for 1 screen operation with no case. So I think I'll just remove the cartridge slot, solder it to a protoboard, and then solder wires to it. Essentially make my own breakout board for it while still passing signals to the cartridge. Either that...
I was happy to have found those, as well as every other clone I could find that the time on aliexpress.
I can confirm they are indeed just the standard DSOne sdhc clones and not the i clones.
I had psram issues on both the cartridges I purchased, but after reflowing them, it fixed the psram...
Yeah I remember reading the comment they made about the pi pico. Didn't realize it took that long to boot. Do you know how long from poweron the system expects communication from the cartridge slot?
That is an interesting project. ntrboot being hardcoded is a little unfortunate, and it...
ProAsic is fairly old these days no? I would be much more inclined to try out a different form of control. I wonder how much we could abuse the pi pico. PIO should make interfacing with the ds easier, and the dual core arm processor should help with computation while also ensuring the proper...
In all honesty, I recommend trying to make a cartridge dumper using something like the pi pico and a ds cartridge slot. Would help you fully understand the decryption protocols used by the console while also allowing you to test the encryption on a future flash cartridge without needing to boot...
I actually had a lot of luck using the scsd2 dldi driver. Patched DSOrganize with it, and it allowed me to load up devkitpro's hbmenu with no issue. I could even open up the Bootme.nds over and over again and it would properly initialize each time. What I did was I installed DSOrganize onto the...
How did you manage to modify the scripts when making the linux distro. I want to see about making a stock linux distro with a liteweight graphical user interface, and in general just have more control over the system.
If possible, could you take closer pictures of various parts of the motherboard. It would just help a little more in seeing if anything could be wrong. The next step would also be to check the psu where it connects to the motherboard. You would set it to voltage mode and touch the black probe to...
This is an interesting little system. Hopefully I have some time to learn more about it in the upcoming weeks. Gotta love staying home and doing uni online due to coronavirus.
Anyways, I emailed leapfrog about getting the source code and got this link which I think could be useful. Hopefully we...
I know of at least 1 place where you can find some of those files that you're looking for. They are on an old website called SKSApps. Since it is no longer online, you'll either need to look at it through the wayback machine, or find the backup that has been previously created and released as a...
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if the source code for the ds firmware replacement CreeboMe was ever released? All I seem to be able to find is the firmware installer and the test rom. The reason I ask is that I want to start learning more about the ds, and I think it would be a fun challenge to...
Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.
I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet
Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
