Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

Yeah. If Slot-1 card is launched, SD/NAND access is disabled, and if DSiWare is launched, SD/NAND access is enabled, and Slot-1 access is disabled.

I believe, you can activate it with the action replay. with the card game.

I only have Bloons TD 4, Cut the Rope and A Little Bit of… All Time Classics™: Family Games, I bet those wouldnt work with anything right?

Are they all DSiWare?

 

[Oleboy555]

Are they all DSiWare?

yes

 

[RocketRobz]

yes

Yes, they would work, but these games may not have save exploits.

Nope, just run them from SD card.

That sad... this is the last thing we need to get the ultimate console.

Isn't good enough run roms from SD card?
TWLNAND is too small anyway.

SRLoader v1.2.1

What's new?

• Thanks to @ahezard, nds-bootstrap v0.4.1 is now fixed for DSi! v0.4.1 uses DSi WRAM as LRU cache, so speed is improved.
• Game-specific MPU settings have also been implemented from TWLoader.
• DS/3DS theme: Press L to switch between DS and (S)GB(C) ROMs.

Improvements

• DSi Menu: The launching animation plays faster.

Bug fixes

• If an app such as GameYob has disabled backlights on the screen(s), SRLoader will now turn them back on if exiting from app.

SRLoader now has it's own thread!

So I did this because I can:



It will not auto boot the cart if you insert it after the console has booted. So it's actually a bit more useful then it was on DS Lite. Cause now you can choose not to auto boot it by just booting without the cart inserted first.


May prove useful in the future perhaps. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This is the autoboot the DS has? Also how do you enable it?

You need a flashcart that allows you to update the internal rom. AceKard 2i and a few of it's clones. I used Decrypt9 to update my AceKard as it has an AceKard specific menu now.

But you also need hax on your DSi because you have to downgrade it to 1.4.0 and modify the DS cart white list since DS cart white list is still used for carts that auto boot.

Aw shit, I don't have hax and only have a DSTwo+, oh well

Also for those who might have noticed, I am booting akmenu4.nds directly as the internal rom for cart. Because I can white list anything I want, I have it using the akmenu4.nds as the rom it uses. With some help from Gericom. He happened to have a patcher for putting homebrew on to dev carts for his dev DS unit. Carts need a secure area. A blank one works, but this also means arm9 for homebrew needed patching. So Gericom helped me with that since the akmenu4.nds SRL was using the old 0x200 header size layout. (for older homebrew SRLs anyways since devkitarm r46/latest libnds seems to compile with homebrew already using a blank secure area with arm9 code starting at 0x4800 so it looks like homebrew on r46 can be made to boot from cart in this fashion reletively easily it appears)

Nice miku theme

 

[Apache Thunder]

Nice miku theme

Yeah I got that theme off an old theme site I had to use an internat archive site to retrieve. I converted that theme to a 3DS home menu theme which you also see in some of my 3DS videos.

 

[reprep]

hmm, i assume supercard dstwo or original R4 won't work.
