    What is this strange flashcart? (Ninja DS SmartCard)

    N5 sucks in general. I hate it. It's honestly just the N5 that had that issue (and only with their early revision models). Acekard etc is fine.

    What is this strange flashcart? (Ninja DS SmartCard)

    Pretty sure it's a full on hardware fuse and not an e-fuse. It's there to protect your console from short-circuiting. You'd have to replace the fuse after the fact obviously. ...which happened to my DS before, I didn't insulate the back of the LCD panel before reassembling the console and I...

    Homebrew flashcard-bootstrap: kernel replacement project

    I don't even know what's up with it at this point. It really doesn't like smaller-than-specific size, and no one has actually found out what said specific size is. And the behaviour is different depending on the cart. @Xenon++ back in the day put some random hardcoded value, and that was known...

    Homebrew flashcard-bootstrap: kernel replacement project

    kinda forgot this thread existed lol flashcard-bootstrap v2.1.0/v2.2.0 Please read the original post for usage instructions! What's new? Added support for the r4dspro.com carts (in r4dspro.com folder) This cart's firmware has a bug that required it to be separated from other Acekard 2...

    3DS homebrew tool FBI title manager removed from GitHub

    Someone reconstructed gameyob3ds by copy pasting each file from Wayback Machine the other day: https://github.com/SombrAbsol/GameYob-3DS It should be noted steveice10 took down his gameyob source long before the account was deleted though.

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    It actually supported the Acekard RPG first. Which was what akmenu was designed to run to begin with. Anyway, official Wood would be what was provided by YWG himself, for the AKRPG, R4, R4iDSN and r4ids.cn lineup. It would be "unofficial" or a "fork" otherwise. This EZ-Flash kernel would be a...

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    Being Wood based really doesn't mean jack tbh. The last open source version is 1.25 (under GPLv3 too, so um, EZ-Flash pls hurry the f up), they took that and started adding 3 years worth of fixes. It won't ever be the same as the official Wood 1.62. But we can hope it will become close enough...

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    I did take apart the kernel in a decompiler to poke around. It's essentially an R4 with (real) SDHC support. Was having fun with it on Discord with a few other people. It seems to be using the same hardware-backed "piracy commands" that the R4 uses with a few minor differences. Whether this...

    This actually works? Cart doesn't appear to be based on a timebomb model.

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    It's specified as 32GB because that is what is "officially" supported by FAT32. You see other companies advertise it similarly. Of course, with some formatting, I don't see why it can't support more than that, just like the other carts out there. They might have done it the Stargate 3DS way...

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    This is EZ-Flash we're talking about; I'd at least expect the same level of support as their GB/GBA lineup, and have a page on their website with proper download links. It kind of sucks that such a small thing like that makes the cart already better than the stuff being sold today, but...

    Hacking [R4][Firmwares] * - Ask For Your R4i-SDHC Clone Firmware! - *

    r4i.cn carts do not run YSMenu. That cart is based on the EZ-Flash Vi. I think the reason it was written that way was because RetroGameFan mentions it on their thread; but after I took a look at that cart's software it definitely isn't compatible with YSMenu. That gist file is old, it was a...

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    EZ-Flash does have a history of respecting GPL; all of their DS flashcarts, they disclosed the GPL licensed code (not the ROM loader though, as that was code unrelated to Moonshell, but this time around the ROM loader is also GPL, so here's hoping.) This is all assuming it's actually...

    The r4ids.cn lineup also has them. No idea what it's used for though.

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    Based on the feature set being shown in OP, the only other competition sold right now is the Ace3DS X, which was the flashcart of 2023, especially with the 3DS firmware update having required ntrboot for a few months. And that cart is also priced around the 10-15 USD range. If the previous...

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    While the feature set being shown here is, well, meh at best, I don't really see anything wrong with it. But, if it is indeed Wood based, then GPLv3 should be respected (for both the menu and the ROM loader!). Though EZ-Flash seems to open source the software on their newer devices, so maybe...

    Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

    This is kind of a hack. It works because nds-bootstrap resets to BOOT.NDS, while AKAIO resets to akmenu4.nds. So it's by pure chance this actually functions right. (It probably does work for most carts, too, since pretty much no cart boots from BOOT.NDS) The "correct" way to do it would require...
