Hacking DSTWO v1.03

[Overlord Nadrian]

Hi:

I know this is off topic, but how do you view movies on the DSTwo? I transfered an AVI file on my micro SD card and stuck it into a folder called movies, but the folder was empty when viewing it in Moonshell.

Thanks

As said before, you can't watch AVI files (yet). Currently, the only way to watch videos on the DSTWO is with DPG files in Moonshell(2).

I sort of like the new plugin menu. Perhaps an option menu to change it back, for those who do't like it.

Woot it soft-resets to the game menu now

7. Fixed the amount of shin limitation.

stating the obvious: shin => skin?

as i already mention a couple of posts back, i realy dont like the single direction scrolling in the plug menu. same here - I DO hope they revert back OR add an option to change it on next release
QUOTEso, in the meantime ... ive got the old dstwo.nds from 1.02 running along with the DSGAME.nds from 1.03, so i get the fixes for EOS and the scroll plug menu =P

But there's a problem with that - you also LOSE certain (DSi Plugin) homebrew compatibility as well - such as DSReader and (non-Sakura) DSOrganize

Correct. But for some reason DS2Tools still won't allow me to download more than 10 skins... I wonder why.

Hmm... no matter what I do the name of DS_Game won't change...

 

[CannonFoddr]

Hmm... no matter what I do the name of DS_Game won't change...make sure the top line says '[plug setting]' and not '[plug settings]' and that the file is in the dstwoplug folder

Also - did you know you can also change the icon of DS_game as well by adding the line
CODEicon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/dstwo_game.bmp

That wasn't mentioned AFAIK

Got it to work literally just before I saw this, dunno what was wrong with it but it works now so that's all good

yeah, that does kinda suck cuz i use DSO quite a lot, but its only 1 extra click, so i guess i can deal with that for now =)

if you guys don't like the new icon scrolling thing, join the SC forums and let them know.

[VatoLoco]

hmm, alright good idea dagnabbit, i'll do dat, AW ;D
you should tell em it sucks (if u think it sux) too (i saw you just joined, and you've got mag staff coolness and respect in yer corner) =)

..and i need to submit my skins there anyhow, so they can be added to the DStools skin selection

 

[Another World]

when the next missing plug-in is released, and i do the mini-review of it, i'll comment on any changes in the eos i'm testing with. thats how i'll get my bitching accomplished. =P

Coolio AW,
i just joined and posted my gripes at the Supercard forum bugs/suggestions thread,

i think youre right, bro, suggestions and such will prolly get more notice over at the SC forums than here.

(edit: im just used to AKAIO and having Normmatt and Smiths tell me to fugg-off directly lol)

 

[CannonFoddr]

Hee Hee - I've added my 'vote' on the supercard forum for the return of the scrolling plugin as well

how do you set up dstwo_game.ini i just got my dstwo today

 

[CannonFoddr]

> Open up Notepad
> Type in the following lines

[plug setting]
name=XXXX

(where XXX is the name you want)
> Save the file in the '/dstwoplug/' folder as 'dstwo_game.ini'

IF you want to also change the icon used
> Place a suitable 40x42 pixel 16-bit graphic also into the '/dstwoplug/' folder called 'dstwo_game.bmp'
> Add the following line to the 'dstwo_game.ini' file

icon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/dstwo_game.bmp

 

[Xoo00o0o0o]

That didn't work I know it has worked for everyone else but why not me?
BTW I'm using a Mac
