Hack - Nintendo DS Browser (E) Cracked (Triforce)

[jeklnoo]

To anyone who's actually got this working, as I havn't read much into it, is the RAM rom a .gba or .nds type file? If it's .gba, has anyone tried to boot it using just the supercard or M3's nds+gba link function?

No, and you're an idiot. That's like asking "would it work if someone dumps the rumble cart ROM and loads it on my m3?" It just doesn't make sense.

 

[NoNameFace]

i use a dslink and a m3-cf..
when i tried to browse a site, i got Interneal Communication Error all the time...
anyone has the same problem ?

 

[Slipurson]

why did they even bother releasing this rubbish, absolutely useless unless you got a slot 1 + 2 flash device

I agree with you 100% same goes for PSP releases, fucken usless unless you have a PSP, same for PS2 GC and Xbox releases... which are also fucken usless unless you have the console to play them on, so why do they even bother...

yeah and same goes for PC releases.. you like need a PC to play Pc releases

it is great to see that the teams are managing to hack these things.. if yu dont like it.. leave it.. as simple as that.. its not their fault that some of you cant afford both a slot1 AND slot2 solution

Gotta test this and then i am just awaiting FF3 and some Ventrilo client for DS

 

[SpaceJump]

This ROM is numbered only because of the fact that there are still people who could use this.

Did I miss something. What Triforce released is a patch, not a rom which would be numbered.

Btw, kudos to Triforce, though I cannot use it

it is not like the RAMpack that comes with the browser has some mechanical functions in it.. so the question is quite right to ask.. tho i dont know if/how it would work

Not what I expected, but very nice anyway. Now, how long until we see one that works from M3/Supercard alone?

From what I know, SC and M3 have 32 MB. 16 MB are used for SD/CF reading, leaving 16 MB used for other stuff. Now, the official RAM cart is 8 MB, yes? And the Browser ROM is 8 MB too. Works out perfectly, just load the Browser into RAM and use the remaining 8 MB as the "RAM pack".

The only problem I can see is bandwitdh, but in any case, this hack here is a great step in making this browser and any future software that may require additional RAM work on flashcards.

I am going to release an xbox360 game that requires two modchips hope this helps


Actually, I'd like to see you release anything, and if possible, something better than the browser hack that has transpired here. I mean, if it can be done better, than do it, right?



Indeed, talk is cheap. Anyone can talk the talk, but lets see em walk the walk...

I think you two completely misunderstood Dryan. He makes a good point. This shouldn't be nuked, but it shouldn't be considered, in any way, numbered or non-numbered.

I think most people aren't stepping back and looking at the big picture. Psyfira has the right idea and said it best.

The point is that you don't need to by a RAM expansion if you already own a Slot 2 device, at least that's the proof of concept. Sure, this is only good for Opera now, but in the future what if the cart is required for other games? There you go. No need to buy that RAM expansion because you already have one!

You're kidding me.

The RAM cart is made by Opera, for the Opera browser. You actually think anybody would use a third-party RAM pack for their game?

Ugh.

 

[lonster]

this release wont work with ds link and supercard because when you turn on power holding select ds link does not show up in the slot 1 box it just says there is no ds card inserted and if you try to put the supercard in after ds link is booted if just resets the system and boots supercard

 

[AshuraZro]

I ordered a DS-X 3 or so days ago and get on now to be greeted to this. Nice work guys! I'll be sure to toy around with the browser once the cart arrives.

EDIT: Did you know words are easier to read when they are in the proper order? I didn't.

Ugh.

Wow. Again, you're missing the big picture. If in the future it's required to have extra RAM to play games (like N64 RAM pack) then the proof of concept is that you have that RAM in a slot 2 solution already, without having to buy such an upgrade later on. I never insinuated that in the future, the Opera RAM cart would be required to play those games that possibly requires that extra RAM.

Again, I'm saying this is a proof of concept, nothing more.

The RAM-pack contains 32 megabytes. To run this from a single slot-2 solution you'd need to keep the entire opera ROM in memory while still allowing the program access to its expected 32 megs of writable space.

ooh flamebait.

Well personally I was just devastated when darkfader released the first prototype passme pictures and the metroid hack: I mean all that effort I and I can not play roms. I remember thinking this obviously will never amount to anything.....

Despite the fact I can not run it by virtue of the fact I own none of the hardware needed I say kudos to Triforce, it is true hacks like this that make me glad I spend the time following the goings on of the DS flash carts.

For what it is worth I also offer my apologies on behalf of collection of fuckweed that seemed to have sprung up all of a sudden.

M3 Hack version:

DS-Xtreme + M3 SD Standard = Works
DS-Xtreme + M3 Lite = Works
DSLink + M3 SD Standard = Works
DSLink + M3 Lite = Works
NinjaDS + M3 SD Standard = Doesn't boot
NinjaDS + M3 Lite = Doesn't boot

Supercard Hack version:

DS-Xtreme + SC SD Standard = Works
DS-Xtreme + SC Lite = Works
DS-Xtreme + SC Lite Rumble = RAM Pak not detected
DSLink + SC SD Standard = Works
DSLink + SC Lite = Works
DSLink + SC Rumble = RAM Pak not detected
NinjaDS + SC SD Standard = Doesn't boot
NinjaDS + SC Lite = Doesn't boot
NinjaDS + SC Rumble = Doesn't boot

Also, add this under M3 Hack version:

Ninjapass + M3 SD = Works


Reguarding nuking this, WHY?

This is a really good hack (probably something that most of us would not be able to do)

Honestly, this wonderful hack should not be nuked just because a majority of the people cannot run it (its not the coders fault that you dont have the necessary hardware to run it)

I, for one, vote AGAINST nuking this hack.

 

[XmemphistoX]

Awesome hack. If more apps start needing the ram expansion, which cart slot 2 cart should I get. I already have the DS-X

No, you don't get it, he said that if a game... say ff7, were released and needed a ram pac to work, which was made and packaged by squareenix, the rom could be hacked so you could use a slot one cart and your slot two cart and make it work.

The RAM pack, in fact, DOES have "mechanical functions." Do you know what the acronym RAM stands for? It stands for "random access memory." This memory is needed by Opera to handle rendering and such.

 

[bollocks]

Awesome hack. If more apps start needing the ram expansion, which cart slot 2 cart should I get. I already have the DS-X

Well, the M3 has faster RAM than the Supercard (so it may be better for the browser or any future commercial apps/games using the expansion, although I haven't tested this and I have no idea if the speed of the slot2 card's RAM has any bearing on the browser's performance), but the Supercard only uses half of its 32MB RAM for I/O in DS mode (so homebrew apps can use the other 16MB - the M3 uses the whole 32 for I/O, so homebrew can either use the extra RAM or read/write the flash card, but not both).

So, as far as I'm aware, if you want to run commercial stuff using the RAM expansion you're probably better off getting an M3, but for homebrew you're probably better off with the Supercard. Something like that, anyway.

 

[shado blackstar]

Awesome awesome! I wasn't expecting this quite yet.

Any plans for a G6 version in the near future?

 

[m2pt5]

The RAM-pack contains 32 megabytes.

The RAM pack contains 10 megabytes, not 32.

If it had 32, it wouldn't work for the SC at all, since it would only be able to use 16.

 

[Pundan]

Man, I can't understand how people can be so fucking ignorant. All, I've been hearing the last days are people complaining about that FF III hasn't been dumped yet. And now this.

I don't own either an M3 or SC but I'm so impressed that they actually pulled this one off! Well, sure you're not interested in this. But why the fuck do you guys take your precious time to reply to this topic telling people about your lack of interest? All you haters in here are exactly the kind of people that ruins for everyone else, I seriously hope someone higher up is blocking you from IRC and this site.
