Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

Happy to say even with these development builds Professor Layton and the Curious Village boots. (Though it's extremly slow, it seems to get past the name entry screen, and saves aren't automatic so it could work. But because of the incredibly long loading times I still don't know)

So.. I've setup some automatic building on my server, primarily cause i'm lazy: http://138.201.147.105/nds-bootstrap/

It'll check the git repo every 10 minutes and will build the new commit if there is one. I'll let this stay online for the next few days.

Cool...beats the check out of random builds being posted in a forum.

I probably might be able to read the banner text, but not the icon.

The icon format's fairly simple: http://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#dscartridgeicontitle

The DWORD at header address 0x68 indicates where the icon/title data is located in the ROM. At that location, the icon bitmap is located at offset 0x20, and is followed by the palette at 0x220. Bitmap is 32x32, 4bpp; it's arranged in 4x4 pixel tiles. Palette is RGB555. (Color 0 is always transparent.)

DSi-enhanced titles can have an animated icon as well. For DSi-animated icons, there's up to 8 bitmaps and 8 palettes, plus up to 64 different sequence values that indicate which bitmap and which palette to use as well as hflip/vflip and delay before the next frame.

Oh, I'm sorry. The context of your post was quite unclear to me, but yeah I agree that the work of the devs is truly amazing
