HaxxStation: DS Download Station exploit



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.

With TWLoader 5.1.1 on a EUR N3DS I get to the screen where it says profiling channels, but after the countdown ends or I press A it freezes :(

Oh shit! I didn't know this! Well, how many apps can I have in one ROM file?
I don't remember exactly, but I tried a folder with 34 ROMs in it and it worked. There's an option to select all ROMs in a specified folder instead of entering their names manually as arguments.

Oh wow. I'll have to try that since TWLoader allegedly has compatibility with HaxxStation.

So... Funny story, I actually don't remember how to use this... I remember I had to run a command in a command prompt. I have the Download Station ROM and some homebrew ROMs. I know there's a 3 MB File Size limit. How do I use this again?

In the cmd: dspatch downloadstation.nds rom-to-patch.nds result.nds

Oh, I dunno then.
I'd guess the folder name? Perhaps the whole folder path, like "E:\dspatch\roms-to-patch"
Nope
I think the error gave me the correct argument though.

C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\dspatch>dspatch -s download_station.nds -o result.nds [-i
rom1.nds] [-I romfolder1]
== DS Download Station Patcher v1.0 ==
Exploit by Gericom, shutterbug2000 and Apache Thunder

Error: Invalid argument ([-i)

Usage: dspatch -s download_station.nds -o result.nds [-i rom1.nds] [-I romfolder
1]
You can add multiple roms by using -I or -i multiple times

Please help
Edit: Also I named my download station rom download_station.nds and my Phantom Hourglass rom rom1.nds
Edit 2: Now i'm using an ssb homebrew remake because PH was to big (more than 4 mb)
