Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

Assuming we get NDS games to load, what are we going to do about the 40 dsi limit/games being saved to twl nand?

The loader would load games from the (micro)SD, not the NAND.

I believe he already knows.

White screen with r4i gold launcher
Edit: I found my old r4 and this works fine with ntr Launcher.

Surprised that no one tested NeoDS, I tested it and it works, but doesn't have sound and has graphical issues. By the way, it's me or NTR switching doesn't work?

Have you edited the bootstrap's .ini file?

Yeah, I setted NTR mode to 1 and it hangs on ws on the upper screen.

@Robz8
How does looks like both of your ini files?

Here's what they look like.

[TWL-HOMEBREWMENU]
NTR_CLOCK = 0
DISABLE_ANIMATION = 0
RESET_SLOT1 = 0
LOCK_ARM7_SCFG_EXT = 0
ENABLE_ALL_TWLSCFG = 0
BOOTSTRAP_INI = sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini

[NDS-BOOTSTRAP]
NDS_PATH = fat:/nds/cf_ds.nds
BOOTSTRAP_PATH = fat:/_nds/bootstrap-dldi.nds
NTR_MODE_SWITCH = 0
BOOST_CPU = 1
BOOTSPLASH = 0
DEBUG = 0
RESETSLOT1 = 0

@ahezard
Here some to report with NeoDS, graphical issues only happens when TWL Clock is enabled so it's not a DLDI issue, and for the sound NeoDS debugs "Z80 ERROR" on the top screen.

Hope that info could help, I will still test some homebrews

Edit: Seriously, I'm very impresed how bootstrap/hbmenu advanced in this months.

Thanks. Good to know. Looking on the net for the NeoDS "Z80 error" this could be a file name problem of the rom :
convention NRX : xxxx_xx.rom (ex: mslug_P1.rom)
convention mame : xxx-xx.bin (ex: 031-P1.bin)
NeoDS needs mame convention.

Thanks a lot to all users here that reports if homebrews are working or not and the problems encountered. This will help in order to improve the compatibility.

I am keeping track here : https://github.com/ahezard/nds-bootstrap/issues

Can I get the DS system menu on my 3DS(of course, I don't wanna replace my HOME Menu), but being able to emulate DS system menu on my N3DSXL would be nice!

Not sure if we can get it run right now, I mean, that video was before we got NTR Mode with SD access.

The menu still restarts the console after the setup, which is normal, but makes it unusable in this case.

Well, the rom runs, but hangs after the bios, this only happens when you have audio enabled, if you disable it, I will run as normal, but without sound [emoji14]

Hello.

I've been given an original DSTT but I can not make it work.

Tried both DSTT Launcher (stuck at loading screen) and latest NTR Launcher (White screen)

TTMenu folder, TTMenu.dat and YSMenu.nds are in the root of the DSTT cart.

Using o3ds 11.0 (A9HL) with latest version of Luma (6.3.1)

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Let's get them first then we can worry about that ..

I was gonna due to the same thoughts, found out you already did. Same result with mine no sounds, but look ok! Amazing progress!

Ok finished testing after a lengthy process. Tried with 3 different ROMs and I get the DS boot splash followed by a white screen in all 3 cases.

Maybe the cart is faulty.
