Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

[RocketRobz]

I made a simple CTR-mode application that will load .NDS ROMs via @ahezard's nds-bootstrap (still homebrew only).
ROM files go in "sdmc:/nds/" (NOT "sdmc:/_nds/").

Extract the contents from "for 3DS SD card root" to the 3DS SD card, and then install the CIA files.

Source code?
I wanna help with the GUI

If you need assets to use with your GUI here's the source to DSi4DS. Be sure to credit Spinal_Cord for it if you use the assets from it.

You should also add the ability to "Launch" slot-1 via NTR_Launcher. Extra cookie if you can implement the icon/banner reading code from FBI which is the other homebrew that is currently able to show the icon to the cart in slot-1.

What can it load?

Homebrew and Download Play ROMs.

 

[Billy Acuña]

Also, the SRL CIA that hocks to bootstrap should be stored on romfs and installed to nand by TWLoader itself at initial launch, and a bootstrap updater should be nice too [emoji14]

You need to install the SRL CIA included on the pack, also you need the lastest bootstrap on Your SD (which is included on the @Robz8's pack too).

Quick question, haven't been following this thread for too long.
What exactly does nds hb menu and nds bootstrap allow us to do, and how do you use them?

You can install them in your CWF 3DS to boot homebrew nds without flash card (like R4 os DSTWO). In the future maybe it can allow us to play DS roms in 3DS without flashcard

Do you have too much ROMs in the folder?

 

[nooby89]

I have zero rom on the nds folder.

Actually, if it isn't installed, it'll just take you to the "An error has occurred." screen of TWL_FIRM.

No ROMs, or MegaMan Zero ROM?

 

[nooby89]

@Robz8 No ROMs.

@Robz8 No ROMs.

Put like 5 ROMs in the folder.

 

[nooby89]

Ok I will try.
