DSi "Channels" Exploit Announced

[ferret7463]

what i really want is a Homebrew Media player (avi, mp4, mp3 etc) that uses the DSi's added RAM, and maybe a SNES and GBA emulator using that as well if that is possible (which i have doubts on)

Hmmm, you just described the DS2.

I don't think so. =P

tell that to dsi xl owners

edit: also, earlier in the thread it was mentioned that sd and nand access are disabled once you have launched the slot 1 card independent of whether you are in ds or dsi mode

Dave Murphy says somewhere in the comments about DSLink and the current savegame exploits that he is working on a solution for the newer consoles where write access to the wifi chip is blocked.
But let's just wait for 27C3 - the announcement suggests that Team Twiizer will show some new DSi exploits... which will probably back up my statement that people just look for an excuse to pirate more stuff if TT will hold back information because it only aids pirating software and people start to complain about it...

If the exploit works, we would do things that can't be made ever in a flashcart

The DSTWO is more powerful than the DSi (360 MHz MIPS + 32 MB RAM versus 133 MHz ARM9E & 33 MHz ARM7 + 16 MB RAM). Plus, the DSTWO CPU is MIPS, so emulators are easier to port from PSP or Dingoo.
Therefore we can't expect a decent GBA/SNES emu, even in DSi mode.

DSTwo is more powerful, but the slot-1 bandwidth chokes it (confirmed by Another World and multiple homebrew developers). DSi homebrew will not have that choke, so it's still up in the air which is better (though of course they'll need SD loading before it'll work properly).

Wrong. AFAIK a GBA mode was found on the DSi. Unlocked DSi mode could lead to this been unlocked therefore better GBA.
If that is wrong then the best solution for GBA emulation would be SCDS2 in DSi mode, as it would have access to faster ram.

AFAIK a GBA mode was found on the DSi.

Waitwaitwhat.

Source plz.

Homebrew browser? I assume you mean Homebrew Channel, but that ISN'T an exploit. The other two are. The channel itself here isn't the exploit, it is the result of it. Like on the Wii.

EDIT: And even if you can have channels on the SD card on the DSi, I highly doubt they would work if the ticket were not installed on the NAND, so NAND access is necessary at some point I reckon.

Thats what I was saying? This exploit was more useful as it could make way for a DSibrew Channel. Not that the HC was and exploit.
Also, that exploit is useless for all owners of newer DSi's and all XL's.

But you can't compare HBC to an exploit, which is what you are doing. You seem to be implying that an installed channel IS an exploit. It is not.

If you have an DSi with an Flashcard, compile this http://www.cryptosystem.org/archives/2007/...-mode-switcher/ and run it, if the GBA Loading Screen shows up, the DSi is theoreticaly able to play GBA Games...

I already tried the Slot-2 in GBA Mode plugin on the DSi, it just goes to a white screen - there's no GBA BIOS in the DSi.

But if why try that in DSi mode maybe something could happen

Wait wait wait ... what ???

You did try the GBA Slot-2 Cartridge Mode on a DSI ?

That's ... amusing

. no wonder it shows you 2 white screens, AFAIK, the GBA/Slot-2 Mode on the Slot-1 FC purpose is to load the content on a physically present/Inserted GBA cart/FC on the GBA port, which is not present on the DSi

That post is from before the DSi was released, meaning it was made for DS/DS-Lite.

Is there any good reason why the previous post from Etalon get locked/deleted ?

Yes, I am interested to find out myself...

Mods changed the title without asking him first and he threw a hissy fit and removed the contents of his posts, so we got a new thread since he didn't want to go along.

Fussiness (to put it lightly) seems to be a reoccurring theme among some tempers.
