Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

[capito27]

dumb me finally realized why his own compiled versions of the bootstrap didn't boot shit on TWLoader, i didn't run build_cia.sh post compile....

So hyped, but quick question: once this gets improved and released on Christmas, how will the compatibility be?

 

[elcampeon4000]

the best is wait until the release of the final version no?

yeah you're right, stupid of me to ask that lol

Should be good.

Should be good.

ooo nice, and I'm guessing DSi games will only work with the DSi clock speed on, no?

DSi games may not work in the first release.

 

[Deleted User]

DSi games may not work in the first release.

I mean in general lol

Might be a bit slow if using NTR clock speed.

Oh, by DSi games you mean DSi-only (not DSiWare), or DSi-enhanced (Like Pokemon BW)?

Both, but for the latter, I may be wrong.

 

[Billy Acuña]

I am pretty sure that game compatibility will be montruosly increace once it gets save read/write redirection.
From what I can see, most of games panics when they try to write save data, which almost of the games does on first boot.

 

[FrozenDragon150]

I see.

Oh, oh. Are there major differences between forcing a DSi-enhanced game (from a NTR mode flashcard) to run on TWL clock speed and using an official cartridge? Like, for example, running Pokemon BW from a flashcard with TWL clock speed and using a retail Pokemon BW cartridge.

 

[BARNWEY]

I wouldn't think so. It's kind of hard for me to test since YSMenu has trouble with DSi-enhanced games, and my flashcard has some features that are broken on TWL clock-speeds.

Yes, there are. In the first case the game will run with the CPU-based performance benefits of DSi mode, but none of the access to new hardware like the new RAM, camera, WPA wifi etc.

Oh, I forgot about all that stuff XD. I only thought about game speed....

Ohhhhh right :o would it be possible to enable those at some point in the future? Like, in case of forwarders, to make the 3DS detect them as DSi-enhanced, maybe?

You can use @Apache Thunder's First Stage Loader (ALT VERSION,) and enable TWL mode...

I guess? The DSi cartridge interface is a bit different so you might need a different set of card r/w function patches. But I think you ought to ask a real dev like ahezard or shutterbug for questions like that!
