13 years.

The original DS was released in 2004, and to this day, no hax for Download Play had been made.

Until now.

Gericom found an exploit in DS Download Station, allowing us to run any homebrew we'd like over DS download play.

Source code for dspatch: https://github.com/Gericom/dspatch

Enjoy!

And if you want to load unsupported flashcarts on a DSi:

Yes.
Here's Apache Thunder's flashcard launchers edited for HaxxStation. @shutterbug2000 should put this in the first post.

want a gba wifi save and rom dumper since i have no flash card and i could use haxx station to send a homebrew like that to my dslite then dump gba game saves

I think there is a program for the wii/gamecube you could use with a gamecube to gba link cable and dump games and saves.

@Robz8 i need your help, can i somehow dump my old r4 (not r4i) so i can use it with haxxstation and then launch it on my dsi?

An original R4? If so, this should have YSMenu for R4.

 

[firke_the_one]

How do I use it to launch R4 on my DSi? I patched the DS Download Station Volume 1 with the YSMenu.nds and I get an error when I launch it on my DSi that says "Error: can't fatInitDefault"

You'll have to DLDI-patch it, by using "dlditool32.exe".

what do i patch with it?

 

[RocketRobz]

what do i patch with it?

The YSMenu.nds file. Make sure the "R4 - Revolution for DS" DLDI is selected.

 

[firke_the_one]

@Robz8 i get "Error: can't fatInitDefault"

 

[RocketRobz]

@Robz8 i get "Error: can't fatInitDefault"

Well then, you're out of luck.

 

[firke_the_one]

yeah, apachethunder told me that too

Well that's the problem: you can't since DS mode does not have access to sd card.... Well you can if you use a modified emulator who include an internal rom (Such as ApacheThunder fork of NesDS)

did he release that?
EDIT: nvm, found it

 

[mariogamer]

did he release that?

Yes. But you won't be able to save. Same thing for Fix94 Gameyob fork.

(Also FIX94 one include a rom built-in (require compiling) but apache thunder one must be run with some software (such as wii-nds-rom-sender) to be able to include a om into it, both should be used with nds sender if you don't know how to build app )

meh, saving isn't that important to me, thanks for helping

YOU'RE MY HERO!
I have always wanted this to happen, I didn't think first to try a passthrough method.
thanks!

Emulator.
