Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

Hold up. You can backup/restore NAND from twl? How?

NATIVE/TWL firm both access the same NAND chip and TWL_FIRM doesn't seem to care what offset you read/write to.

Could this theoretically be used through a dsi save game exploit to restore NAND dumps on 10.4/10.5 systems? Or is the patched TWL_FIRM still needed?

No patching needed but there isn't currently any way to run TWL nand hb on latest firmware. We don't know how to access TWL save files without arm9 yet.

Interesting.

does this mean if we inject sudokuhax on 9.2 3ds， we are still able to restore our nand even if we update by mistake？

If you have injected dsiware hax booting from sysnand on <=9.2 then update, maybe! Haven't tested that lately.
Remember, if you've patched twl_firm, it will not boot if you update.

You're not meant to patch sysnand afaik

This might be a bit off topic, but when I try inject pictochat over a dsiware app, I can see the banner fine but it gives the power off error... Is it because pictochat installs to the 00030005 folder of the TWLN partition but because I injected it into a dsiware app (in the 00030004 folder), it won't run or something? Whats stopping it from running? Has anyone tried this before and did it work or result in the same error?
Thanks

I just created a DSiWare ROM hacking thread for anyone who is interested!

No, not yet.

 

[AquaX101]

No, not yet.

ok thanks, was just going to test to see if pokemon event distribution carts worked

 

[chyyran]

Are we able to create homebrew TWL_FIRM CIAs with SD card access? Or even a simple Hello World?

 

[Dotmore]

Will we possible be able at some point to inject DS games with this? (Like with GBA)

NO 4MB of space ONLY and ds didnt have q SD Card slot

 

[RocketRobz]

NO 4MB of space ONLY and ds didnt have q SD Card slot

Correction: 64MB (or below) of space.

Still useless for ds roms

Gamecube didn't have an SD/USB port and DIOS MIOS can read isos from those ports, and nintendon't is unlimited on terms of hardware and software.

DIOS MIOS patches GC-mode syscalls to Wii-mode syscalls, since both the Wii and GC didn't have any real OS. The 3DS in CTR mode does not have a compatible set of syscalls to the NDS(I)

DIOS MIOS patches GC-mode syscalls to Wii-mode syscalls

Nope, DIOS MIOS runs GC-mode, you mean Nintendon't (?)
