We did consider developing a client for the DS to allow transferring files wirelessly, but where put off by the very limited wireless capabilities that the console has.macgeek417 said:protip: GTK+ makes cross-platform easy.
Scarlet is written in C++ using wxWidgets, mysql C api and libcurl.
These are all fully cross-platform compatible. There are however fundamental differences in how
different OSes handles devices, and we have not yet developed a solution for this for Mac or Linux.
could this be the start of homebrew channel? i know stormwave wanted to get it just on the ds flashcarts themselves, anyways is there like a .nds to sync from this server to the ds to transfer files wirelessly? or is it just drag and drop?gutman5000 said:This looks great but question time:
Is this a online library of homebrew from filetrip listing ones you've download and one's you haven't,
or is it a manager where it lists your homebrew from a folder
and lets you download updates etc plus other homebrew you don't have (like a game manager but not for games).
Though the two descriptions sound the same they aren't.
Thanks
I am not sure if I understand your question correctly but I will attempt to answer it, although perhaps a bit indirectly.
Scarlet lists all NDS homebrew available on filetrip, and marks what you have downloaded (by checking the Scarlet subfolder \Homebrew for whether the homebrew is present there)
in bold.
In addition it lists connected flashcarts that homebrew is installed to in the fourth column on their line in the homebrew list, and creates a category in the upper left corner with the name of your flashcart along with its path which you can click to get a list of all homebrew installed to that device, and their installed version (with newest version in parenthesis if there is a newer version, in which case it will also be marked as red).
So yes, Scarlet does let you download updates and notifies you about newer versions of installed homebrew by marking it in red and putting it in the Updates category in the upper left corner.

DSTwo is detected, and if there is a firmware update you will be notified and can update it.
All devices that don't have detectable firmware will still show up as "Unknown" and work as well as any detected device apart from not getting firmware updates.

Thank you very much for the report, it really helps.
We'll try to fix this as soon as possible.

jurassicplayer said:Something that I should have thought of asking during the tempcast, but how does Scarlet detect the homebrew on the flashcart? I know Scarlet can detect what flashcart I'm using (it displayed correctly), but none of my homebrew, although in the "Homebrew" folder, showed up in Scarlet.
Homebrew has to be in a subfolder with its name in the homebrew subfolder of the flashcart to be detected.
Install something and see how it is put on the device.
Nice work!jurassicplayer said:I'm guessing that it will probably have something to do with the script for each homebrew...but I'm just poking in the dark (it would be nice to have it check by CRC).
At this point scripts are only for configuring settings of homebrew and making sure files are copied correctly (for instance the lemmingsDS script copies the settings file to the root of the flashcart which is where it has to be).
We considered having Scarlet try and detect homebrew in other places on the cart by comparing the files to a database (could for example check CRC), but this would take a long time to implement and will unlikely be a priority at this point.
jurassicplayer said:Also, will we have the ability to rename the file when we install the homebrew into the mSD, because a large majority of the time, I rename all of the homebrew to some nicer names (I don't like internal names because some homebrew don't change them from the default).
Well, as the homebrew is installed to its own subfolder which has the name as seen on filetrip rather than normal filename, there will hopefully be no need to rename.
Nice program ! You should consider to open source it.jurassicplayer said:
Currently, we are not considering open source.
This might or might not change in the future.

Suggestion time, maybe it would be cool o integrate download from other homebrew sites as well, and/or romhack patches from romhacking.net
Well as mentioned above - Stormwave put a suggestion forward (& also made a start on a small app for the DS). But as already said above - he's been waiting for a reply from the Temp staffUrza said:

EDIT: Oh, forgot to say. Great work to everyone who was involved. I don't use my DS much any more but I'm sure many will find this useful for keeping organized.
