I am looking for a homebrew software that allows the dsi to record videos onto the flashcard's microSD card. It needs to support quite long videos with audio as well. This is because I am going on an expedition and need to record footage for it, I really don't want to have to bring a separate camera. It does not need to support both cameras, but ideally film at the same quality as images do. Is there an existing homebrew compatible with R4i SDHC that does this?

Because I really don't want to bring a separate camera to record video. I know VGA video is bad but I prefer to save space and weight by not bringing a camera, and using the dsi camera. Googling shows only videos on how to record dsi gameplay, not record video captured on the dsi

As far as I am aware the r4i is a DS mode flash cart so never had access to the cameras. I suppose there is DSi homebrew but it is very undeveloped.
Short version. Not going to happen.

What about something in the dashcam/action camera world? Prices there for things that do not say Gopro or Sony are crazy low these days. They support nice 1080p H264 more often than not, charge off USB, can have a crude night vision funciton, have acceptable lenses and sensors, nice mounting options, possibly waterproof cases (some of the SJcam stuff) and weigh basically nothing.

    I am trying to find someone with knowledge on that willing to help me
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I and Hayato warned him not to, but he won't listen
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa,
    I don't listen? What didn't I listen at? I just want to know all the possible risks on that part
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Hayato even said it's dangerous to backup the save files to CFW
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    how is this dangerous? A ton of people did this it's the most common thing to do with CFW
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then do it
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    dude, whatever
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not trying to hate, I tried to help you in the switch noob thread by asking for you, but you don't want to accept the answers you got, so do whatever then.

    @BigOnYa, Man, first of all thanks for your willing to help, much appreciated. But, it's not that I "don't want to listen", rather than I need soemone to EXPLAIN to me how and why all these are risky.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    isn't this proccess be done while you're offline?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.
