Homebrew DS(i) NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[CoolMe]

I have the 2018 model specifically the "R4 SDHC Dual-Core 2018" url :r4isdhc.com

the Ace3DS+ clones have a red pcb, and i think the website has to have ".hk" at the end, but i'm not sure.

I have seen BL2CK_1.30.4, wood r4 v1.62 and YSMenu for R4i-SDHC recommend for it so no clue what to use.

Try wood r4 if it doesn't work then it's a timebomb cart, in that case you'd use YSMenu.

it's a timebomb cart

It is a timebomb cart, already had the timebomb trigger a few times and I had to rollback my fat DS time more that once.

red pcb

The only red in the the 2018 number.

It is basically a timebomb DSi card.

Edit: Tried all the non official firmwares. Only YSMenu for R4i-SDHC works but the compatibility is terrible many OLD games don't work with just that alone. But thanks to having a hacked 2DS and Twilight menu I can play games without worrying about the timebomb and I can play games the old YSmenu firmware can't so thankfully I got an use for card that's not just hacking my 2DS.

Thanks everyone for their help.

Hii Guys,

Hi! Do you have a question?

 

[Kyush4]

Hi, is there any list of games that run better on DSI? is Pokémon Black one of them considering it's DSI enhanced?

Trying to play GBA games on my DSI XL. I've got Unlaunch installed and I re-did my SD card with the latest version of Twilight++ and put the bios.bin on the root but nothing works. I do have an ACTUAL GBA with a flashcard so I can dump a real bios instead of downloading it.

All I see is a bunch of folders. Super lost.

You need to go into the folder with the games.

My homebrew crashes when try to save/load score in DSi mode
-----
I found partially answer: here

Spoiler

So I make something like that:

#include <fat.h>
#include <filesystem.h>
...
bool savePossible = false;
bool fatInitialized = false;
FILE *savefile = NULL;
...
int main(void) {

//    savePossible = fatInitDefault();
    if(nitroFSInit(NULL)){
        chdir("nitro:/");
        savePossible = true;
    }

    srand(time(NULL));

    initGraph();                    //here loading nitroFS resources and this is working fine

    if(savePossible){
        chdir("fat:/data/");
        loadBest5();                 //here loading topScore from the card on R4 works fine, but It doesn't work with Unlaunch and TWiLight Menu++ on DSi mode
        fatInitialized = true;
    }

    gameMode = TITLE_SCREEN;
    initTitleScreen();
....

On R4 card this method also works.
On DSi now it doesn't crash anymore, but It doesn't load/save score too. Any tips?

-------------
Recived answer from Pk11. Problem solved. Thanks!
And this is the clue:

if(isDSiMode()) {
    chdir("sd:/");
} else {
    chdir("fat:/");
}

Hi! I'm new here! I have recently found my old Supercard Dsone sdhc, and I tried to make it work, but with differents sd cards and firmwares, It doesn't work... Can anyone help me? My problem is that the Nintendo ds doens't recognize it at all, it doesn't even show an error page...

If the the flashcart doesn't appear in the DS menu then it probably it's faulty, it has nothing to do with sd cards or kernel files, assuming that your DS can read other cartridges just fine.

Well I guess this would go here (random thing but my first time ever posting on a forum ) but me and some friends are trying to make a localization of Tomodachi Collection, no development has started but I'm just wondering since I have 0 knowledge, but how do you edit textures & text on a DS game?

 

[poignantfall956]

hey there, im trying to get a skin onto my ds lite but for whatever reason my skins folder doesnt want to work with it at all, the guides i find dont have the same folders as my ds lite does and i am at a loss, does someone know how to help?(if its useful the folders that my card has are called _system_ and moonshl)


nvm found a way to make it work

How do I locate text for character names and item names in HxD?

How do I locate text for character names and item names in HxD?

Depends on the game you're trying to mod.

 

[ellepacasso]

Oh I'm trying to identify the values in HxD that pertain to the names and characters in Nintendogs and Petz Hamsterz 2 and edit that to get the specific characters I want as they're randomly generated in each save file.

Have you tried looking through the files inside the ROM in TinkeDSi?

oh yes! Just downloaded it:

 

[ellepacasso]

hmmm is there a hex editor that supports text search so I can find what words correspond to what values better? I don't see this function in HxD or Tinke

What sort of text would you search for, and what makes you think it will enable you to "find what words correspond to what values"?
