Hacking GBA on DS: Changing Buttons.

[janitormane]

Is there a custom firmware or something that will let me switch the button ID's: A & B to Y & B?

A & B is so unnatural, it hurts and is hard!

Thanks

i don't know about that, but why does that hurt your fingers? its more similar to the original buttons on gba anyway.

No, the GBA Bios is read only.

Mon, on nes me can play mario all day. Just hold down dat B button to make 'im run and dat A to make 'im jump. If I 'appen to get tired I just shoot some ducks for while mon. All good indeed.

But dat DS is a machine of pain mon. It not be possible to do dat on DS. Me fingers be creaking.

I know it's utter sh**. I now wish I had gotten a regular size 3 in 1 to pop in my sp.

The only way I know of involves a hardware mod chip. You can't change it in software.

Are you sure that there is a mod chip that performs this specific function? I could only find one that maps L & R to Y & X, or makes Y & X act as turbo B & A buttons. I couldn't find one that remaps B & A to Y & B.

Rewiring works.

I don't have a link for it, but I remember seeing a Youtube video of the modchip where the guy used Y and B for GBA games. I might have been mistaken though. If I could find that link again, I'd show it to you.

EDIT: Found it. I was thinking of the DS Chip Advanced, but upon seeing the video again I see you were right. It only used X/Y for turbo A/B. Even the chip's updated version cannot let you use Y/B in place of B/A. My bad, I was wrong.
