I still have no idea how to re-hack this firmware, so no this is not going to be part of the Quad-Boot. Sorry all.

the problem is that the file it_firegame.eng, does not recognize the file it_g.dat

So we need to figure out how to make it recognise that file?

Now how would we go about that?
Quite possibly a Hex edit?

maybe, but we know where to modify?
edit: I think the current patch will fall into the wrong place!

Interesting. I tried doing the same thing that I did with R4i RTS, but that didn't work

I uploaded this to FileTrip. Glad to hear about this, but still wishing I bought a DSTWO!

Maybe for iTouchDS to work on M3 cards you have to modify the iTouch.eng file in the iTouch folder. The start of it looks similar to that .sys file you patch in R4i.

EDIT: And there's only like a 3KB difference in filesize, the iTouch being the smaller one. It would be nice to know exactly what the R4i auto-patcher does, could someone maybe explain it?

EDIT2: Well why don't I just patch the file and look at the difference? Durrrr

I think M3 team did not block the iTouch. The problem is really in all files it_firegame. Until the version 3.7g, operated perhaps by luck. Modify, for example version 3.3, you have modified various sectors, up from 10. In version 3.7, 4 sectors and in version 3.8 (which was when it crashed) and so on, only two sectors has changed. And why is not working! may have to rewrite the codes of the patch!

Anyone want to give it a try?
I would try, but I am not on Mike's Laptop, so I am using Linux right now.
Also I have no idea what I am looking for to be honest with everyone.

 

[MWisBest]

Lucky for me I don't own a DSi!

 

[amaro]

anyone had problems with version 3.9?
that version is no longer available!

[dsrules]

maybe they lost the html source code for 3.9 and restored the old 3.8f html?
anyways, if you rename the filename to 3.9 it's still there

 

[MWisBest]

You can still get it on FileTrip too I think.

For most if not all people using the firmware the version of iTouch fails to load games and is recommended by several people to not be used. I have yet to try it but if you see the messages everyone who posts and uses it says it won't load games.

so that is why there is no longer on the official site
