I really need that scummvm DS on my 3DS lol. I can confirm this works, but it's unable to find the filesystem, does anyone here know how we could make it compatible? We might be able to contect whoever made this DSi-mode port he/she probably knows, right?
 
Guess what I managed to get working finally!



TWL dev apps!

I show TWLNandFiler and TWLNMenu working on my retail console! TWLNandFiler is the equilievent to SaveDataFiler. TWLNMenu is the equilivent to the DevMenu but for the DSi. It was part of the DSi SDK. Since 3DS keeps tickets on CTR_NAND, DSi TWLNMenu was made obsolete by the use of DevMenu and title install being managed solely by CTR mode. Still fun to see what it does on a 3DS though. :P
Why do you have two System Settings icons, one gray and one red?
?

The red one was a 9.2 version of System Settings converted to an SD app. At the time, I had a downgraded System Settings to allow MSET exploit. Because of this, I needed a seperate version for NNID related settings and what not. So I repacked it to install to SD. :P

Of coarse now I use Arm9LoaderHax, so entry points are no longer needed. I have since gotten rid of it and it has not been installed on my n3DS either. :P

I just had an idea, relating to the DSi system.
Since we can downgrade Sudoku to the sudokuhax-compatible version via hardmod and TWLTool, has anyone attempted to inject DSiWare versions of AWDoR or WarioWare Touched, or even the DLP demos, into a purchased DSiWare title with TWLTool?
That would be nice, for those of us who don't have a 3DS.

Weird error I'm having...

Installing both the edited twlfirm and the actual programs to both sysNAND and emuNAND, all the dsi homebrew and whatnot that works in sysNAND will not work in emuNAND, giving the black screen error. Does it have to do with the 10.7 update?

No. The patched TWL_FIRM doesn't have to be installed to sysNAND.
 
well idk if this would work but the action replay cheats for pokemon works by taking the action replay out and swaping it with the game so it injects cheats into ram. so what you could do is make a homebrew that stores its self in the ram like a ds demo and have a game card inserted and when you open it it will edit the ram so you can use cheats this could also be used to patch the game so you can use custom wifi servers

Won't work on 3DS/DSi. Cartswapping isn't possible. Slot powers down once you eject cartridge and there's no way through software to re-enable it while in DS/DSi mode.
 
Looks very interesting... was wondering what the deal with .nds ROMS were. I think I get the gist of things. maybe I'll try making my own little tool of some kind, like an app that applies AR codes, kind of like how NTR CFW loads "Plugins" to use codes. of course, this whole idea is pointless if no progress is made on loading/installing ROMS!

you don'r swap the cart you would turn the 3ds on with it in then lauch the app that injects cheats and wfi custom server patching into ram kinda like the flash card launcher works expext it changes stuff in the games ram on launch so you can use custom wifi servers like dwc

And I assume you would do this using a title installed into TWL NAND?
