Okay, so I was wondering if there was a way you could configure DSOrganize to be able to run commercial .NDS roms.
Is there a way?
Also is there a way to have more apps on DSOrganize (Im talking about internet, irc, file browser etc) because there is a third page which is empty.

Thanks!

You cannot run ROMs.


The third page is for launching .dss files (shortcuts to homebrew).

.dss files aren't necessarily shortcuts to homebrew. They can be shortcuts to any type of file DSO can open e.g. txt files, mp3 files, images etc. They can also be shortcuts to folders.

I stand corrected.

Shortcut Files
You can place shortcut files inside any directory on your media card to make your file system appear neater. Coupled with hidden directories, this can be used to create a very similar experience to the Start Menu on a Windows machine, among other things. If shortcut files are placed inside the Home directory, they will appear on page three of the home screen. The format for DSOrganize shortcut files is shown below:

The first line of any shortcut must simply contain "dsoshortcut" After that, the shortcut format is flexible, so order is not important and not every field is mandatory. Edit a shortcut like a .ini file, using field=value as the format. Other fields are shown below:

name - The name of the shortcut. This field will show up as the three line description in the browser, or above the shortcut on the home screen.
file - A complete unix path to the file you want to link to.
largeicon - A complete unix path to a 50x50 bmp/gif/png/jpg file that will be used as the icon on the homescreen. If this isn't present, DSOrganize will use the default icon for that particular file.
alternate - Simply place this word on it's own line to make the shortcut load the alternate action for the file pointed to, such as editing a .html or booting with an alternate loader.
A sample .dss file is shown below:


CODE
DSOSHORTCUT
name=My Favorite Song
file=/music/modules/class 10.mod
largeicon=/licon2.bmp

That help? Its from the DSO wiki.
