Homebrew Coverflow DS (New project)

[smitty96]

No no, I could never afford a Mac. I use Linux - Ubuntu on my desktop and a little-known distro called Slitaz on my laptop.

Edit: I tried DScovery on my brother's computer, he uses Visual Basic for school, so I figured he would have it. And, the program.. Worked. Sort of. It displayed very few of the .nds files on my card, but the rest of it seemed to be working great, so I added a few covers, but only one shows up when I boot my DS; the Opera browser. DSCovered, NesDS, SnemulDS, and Lameboy, all of which I added covers too and are in the root directory, aren't displayed. Any idea why?

did you actually click the check boxes for each file?

Guys, I'm not confident that I will ever finish the next update. I have become quite bored with DSCovered

If anyone would like to take over the project, you may PM me or something, but I warn any of you, the source code is very very messy and requires devkit r21 and a really old palib.

So DSision all over again?

Could you at least make 1 final update before quitting and passing project on (or make it open source)?

Cheer up spinal!

we're waiting for the next update.

 

[bluebowser31]

[alidsl]

) can't wait for the DStwo SDK to be released so you can add DStwo rom loading

Hi Spinal,

Sad to see your giving up mate.

Still, its not as if the current version is unfinished. It is pretty functional and usable and looks better than most front ends for the DS.


My boy would also like to say thanks for all your work.

I'll type while he blabs.
"Thanks, I like your covers lots. Loads better then the other one." ... "Can me and you go back in the pool."
Well, he is ADD or SPD or something like that. At least I got a couple of sentances out of him before he switched topic.

Cheers mate

... Now to find more beer. And then to freeze in the pool.

*Hic*

Previous poster is right, the current one is pretty awesome as it is.

Thanks spinal =D

Problem:
I load a game in dscovered using akAIO 1.7
after the processing please dont turn of the power it goes to a black screen
I have a DS Lite, Acekard 2i, akAIO 1.7 and 8gb Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD

 

[Taellon]

I'm not sure if I missed something here, but I think I might be having troubles with the program. It loads fine and all, but the list of games it shows is incomplete. It's missing several titles that I have on my MicroSD card that AKAIO reads just fine. Any reason why this might be happening or any advice for how I can fix it?

Also, it says to rename my akaio4 file to just akaio or whatever. Will doing so wreck anything with AKAIO or will it just allow the files to load from Coverflow?

Another thing, I'm not really clear from the instructions on how to make this Coverflow program load up intially on my Acekard2i rather than having to select it from a menu. Could somebody please clear up this process for me?

if you want to update the DSCovered games without using your brother's computer, try using a virtual machine like "VirtualBox", and install windows on this. It will need more resources than wine, but will run flawlessly

If you decide to use VirtualBox, you have to read THIS to enable the USB support

Good luck

Make sure you are using the correct loader - under settings in Dscovered. I think it is TAB 3.
Ensure the two options, load homebrew external and soft reset are on.
Make sure you have renamed the akmenu4.nds to akmenu.nds before copying across spinals files.

 

[bluebowser31]

i cant get DScovery to work on my XP
i downloaded it from your site, so thats not the promblem...

it says something like "unhandeled exception occured in the application" then i can click continue or quit, quit closes it, continue just puts me back where i started, if i click on removable disk i, it says same messgae

then it says all of this junk o.o:

Is content of your SD visible from explorer?

I dont copy the new akmenu4 because i dont want to autoboot dscovered but i still make 2 copies of my akmenu4 and rename one to akmenu, i think it should work.Does this support SDHC?

 

[joelozy]

Hey guys, I installed this, but realized that it is very slow compared to AKAIO. To uninstall it, I just delete the new akmenu4, delete d system, and rename the old one, right?

It shouldn't be that much slower...anyways, to take it off, that method should be about right..
