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.

Can this be used for multiplayer homebrew games?

The link cable feature for GameYob worked fine for me.

 

[tntmod54321]

God i'm an idiot, i forgot about that, and DSdoom multiplayer.

 

[Billy Acuña]

can i use other emulators on the ds this way?
like SNES/Genesis/GBA/PCE/ETC?

https://gbatemp.net/threads/list-of-all-emulators-for-ds.255764/

Welp, JenesisDS and Nitrografx are closed-source so no, but maybe could be done with SNESmulDS and GBARunner (not sure about this last one)

27 pages is a bit much to read and the search function won't allow gba so
would it be possible to dumb gba games with this somehow? doubtful but maybe

I've been working on that NDS WiFi Save Dumper, integrating the ini configuration in the source code of the program itself. So I've been able to backup/restore and dump NDS games and saves over WiFi. Not sure about the GBA backup tool because that dumps the saves and ROM's to the Slot-1 flashcart's SD Card. It's possible, but I won't be able to do it.

I just found out about this what I call ds downloadbrew stuff today, but, I also found out theres a wii implementation of this, what may be some draw backs or perks to it?

Perks are that it can send the .nds files directly without needing to patch them (it's done on the fly), and it can directly send .nds and .gb(c) files since it has nesDS and GameYob built in.

Drawbacks would be slower download speed, the Wii just isn't as good at this as a DS is. It works, though.

what is the maximum size file I can send over tough, also, could I send over gbarunner2 or whatever it's called and boot gba games? I feel like that's a no

Definitely a no, Download Play sends to RAM and the DS only has 4 megabytes of it. Even on a DSi which has 16 megabytes, Download Play runs in DS mode which is 4.

Maximum file size is theoretically 4 MB but you'd still need some amount of RAM for the program to use.

@Gericom (??

I did not implement any multiplayer stuff in gbarunner yet. I might try to implement it and make a version of gbarunner that can act as a single card multiboot client or so.

This doesn't allow access to any kind of wifi/internet transfer yeah? Cause I was thinking to something but then... I recalled myself that DS doesn't have internet...

The DS does have internet; this allows transfer of games/homebrew to your DS

I mean ds to pc like transfer (after launching a homebrew).

 

[dpad_5678]

I mean ds to pc like transfer (after launching a homebrew).

It should work THEORETICALLY, but if the Homebrew application relies on an external settings file (like a .ini or .conf), which it most likely does, it won't work.

 

[mariogamer]

So I was thinking to something.... Could it be possible to dump dsi NAND and send it to a pc ?

(also a little off topic question.... is it possible to flash dsi NAND throught software?)

No.

 

[mariogamer]

No.

Redirecting to this: http://gbatemp.net/threads/dsi-downgrading-the-complete-guide.393682/page-10#post-7429604

So why it would not be possible?

(Hu I saw you need a DSiWarehax to get nand access...)

I don't think it would be possible with haxxstation as it does not have access to the DSi nand, but maybe with TBL and DSLink?

 

[SoslanVanWieren]

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
