Hacking DSision2...

[retiredjerk]

spinal your menu is frickin awesome. seen a vid posted in another section. cant wait for this thing. now this is what a flashcart menu should look like. i can donate a free EDGE to you if it helps you getting it to work on the EDGE. awesome work!

Off topic: I like your NDS shell. Can you link me to where you got it from?

My NDS shell? the red one? it's an official red dslite.

I guess they don't have that color in America. Too bad...

I'm very interested. Is there a way R4 users can just boot straight into this without going to the R4 menu?

 

[spinal_cord]

Yes, they can, I have tested this a few times as the original DSision didn't work on R4 at all.
This version works perfectly on R4, fear ye not, you can have a nicer looking menu once it is released.

By the way, are you going to throw commercial rom support inside?

 

[spinal_cord]

I'm sure I have mentioned this before but...

R4DS +Clones (including m3simply?), AK2 and TTDS should support commercial games, all other cards will be homebrew only.
However, a lot of card firmware is just a normal .nds file, so should be loadable through DSision.

 

[Noitora]

If you're able to run games with TTDS then there shouldn't be any problems with DSONE I think :/
I'm glad I'm getting an Acekard 2, this and menudo are going to be awesome when they are released

Thanks for spending your time making that spinal_cord!

 

[spinal_cord]

I'll let you guy's into a little secret, I'm making this mostly for me. As with a lot of coders, no matter what their skill level, I code things that I want myself, if other people want is, that's a bonus.

Currently I have it as the default menu on my TTDS, so it's reasonably stable, it just doesn't do everything its meant to yet, so I'm not releasing it for a little while, still no idea of a release date yet, sorry.

take all the time u need man...no need to rush

it's worth to wait anyway

Spinal, you should have kept it to yourself. Everyone's like; can you add this impossible feature, can you spend two more years of your time doing that impossible feature but give to us tommorow?

People need to understand, spinal is doing this because it interests him. Not for you, him. Don't beg for more features, you should be thankfull he is even thinknig about releasing it.

One question spinal, why make your own when you could by a m3 which has a nice enough gui already?

DSision v1 came about because the card I had at the time had a terrible menu, DSision v2 is an upgrade of the old version. I have not seen the m3 software, but I can only assume it looks nothing like DSision, besides, I'm making DSision myself, that's good enough isn't it?

When are you releasing this?Will it work on all flashcarts?

 

[Sportsmaniac1322]

I have a question. Will this boot automatically when you boot the flashcart (replacing the system files), or will you have to select the .nds file from your current GUI?

 

[Jdbye]

This might actually revive the R4

I have a question. Will this boot automatically when you boot the flashcart (replacing the system files), or will you have to select the .nds file from your current GUI?

I guess you can choose - most flashcart loaders are just .nds files anyway.

 

[spinal_cord]

Most cards have an autorun feature, usually involving renaming the file to default.nds or similar. I currently have it auto running on my TTDS, and R4DS. But if you like, you can load the .nds from you existing gui.

 

[DarkLG]

So can you tell us when your releasing it?

 

[spinal_cord]

it just doesn't do everything its meant to yet, so I'm not releasing it for a little while, still no idea of a release date yet, sorry.

Do people read ANY of the previous posts before asking questions?

 

[Sportsmaniac1322]

Don't be asking for release dates. It just pisses off the developers.

So since the R4's game compatibility has gone down because of the lack of firmware updates, will you be able to update this to help compatibility? If the answer's yes, then I agree that the R4 can once again be a good flashcart.

 

[DarkLG]

Sorry didn't really check hope your making progress on it.

 

[SoulAnger]

I'm still confused that this thread is still aint on the homebrew section. :/
Anyway, I cant wait for your dsision spinal.

Keep it up.
