Homebrew Linux for DSi (IDEA)

[Sterling]

I don't think you will get a good team to build this just yet. The DSi is a widely unexplored frontier, and next to no one has the experience to do what you are asking on the DSi. As previously pointed out, 512 Megabits (or did he mean something else?) is very small, and I highly doubt you could get something productive and working on memory that small...

I have been wrong before, so if you try to do it, feel free to prove me wrong.

The most you could code is a simple apps to attempt accessing the cameras and displaying them (possibly) or trying to access the SD card. Although if it was possible to access the SD card a bigger file could be executed... Of course nobody has any idea what kind of instructions would be required to do that yet.

is there any way to extend the memory in it by sawdering or something like that.

You first.

It may help if you could spell "soldering" correctly.

I see alot of people just posting bullshit about how he should spell shit correctly and people who are calling him an idiot. And someone even spams with "closing the topic". Just post a link to the facts that proves his project to be impossible instead of all this crap? Why does the majority of this board always try mock people.

sorry i was typing on my ipod touch and it was 1:30 AM.




Anyways if we could code it to boot from the dsi sd card then the developing of dsi linux would be able to begin. Dont forget in the computer community the possibilities are (almost) endless.

Because mocking people is more fun?

Thats kind of stupid. gbatemp is full of hacking opportunities not mocking opportunities.

That's no excuse, look at this:

The "A" and "W" keys that you used are on the other side of the keyboard from the "O" and "L" keys which you should have used.
Petty spelling issues aside, the only way for this to feasibly work is for the Drunkencoders hack to access the SD card slot, which no-one has figured out how to do yet.

You would first have to create some sort of file loader to load some homebrew from an existing flash cart and that loader would have to fit inside the save exploit of whichever game is used. Good luck with that.

Does this seem hypocritical to anyone else?

P.S. Dont be a grammar nazi guys its fairly annoying how much time you put into proving one word is spelled wrong. (though i do agree soldering was spelled wrong)

GBATemp is exactly full of mociking opportunities. Thats why you see it everywhere. Just look at how someone spend lifetime pointing out the location of certain letters on a keyboard. But since we are allready in the "im-lame-mode" you could say: The ipod touch keyboard is customizable so you dont know the location of Saphiresurf's buttons

spinal_cord is right. This is not something that just needs to be done. Because we can't yet

 

[Saphiresurf]

Thanks for backing me up. but i think its worth trying to develop dsi linux if we do some research and look into the filesystem or something to get a clue of what to do. We do have the TMD you know.




P.S. I know what hypocritical means i was just wondering how it was hypocritical.



EDIT:So did anyone want to help develop? Once we get a team started for this project all info will be in the first post.

EDIT#2: I have created open spots for the team if anyone wants to join PM me or post. If we need to do something to make this project possible then we will try.

EDIT#3: Im going to make a thread for requests to join the team i will post up the link in a sec

EDIT#4: the recruitment thread is here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=200...p;#entry2505516

If you said you don't know how to code, but can help research, how does benefit anyone besides yourself by taking credit as "project leader"? If you actually did research, you would know that hack is pretty much useless and cannot take advantage of the DSi's extra hardware in any fashion (besides allowing you you write things on the screen). So people telling you that it is not possible are not flaming you, they are trying to inform you that your idea will not work. It turns into flaming when YOU think they are wrong and and don't believe them.

I get sick and tired of these kids trying to gain credibility for projects while not contributing to them. Do you really expect talented coders to work for someone who really doesn't know much about hacking at all, besides reading news about it? Getting an "IDEA" started doesn't constitute you to be in charge of a project since you really don't know what is going on or where to start.

Writing on the screen is not an extra hardware. The hack does actually take advantage of the DSi's hardware. In this example its the faster CPU's clearly showing that the DSi is running faster with the screenflashing program than the Fattie DS.

It is in DSi mode = you can acces anything you want. The savefile size restriction just doesnt let us do much. And who would know what adresses to look at when trying to acces these extra things?

It is however true what you are saying. This wont really get us anywhere.

True, like I said, besides allowing you to write things on the screen, which does take advantage of the CPU's.

He called someone stupid and then said GBAtemp isn't full of mocking opportunities.

But trying to stay on topic... I think this thread should be closed. Just having a thread with ideas isn't helping anything.

Why do these idiots always create threads about making some app or creating some hack or whatever, just expecting people to make it for them?

every time it's always 'omggzz guyss come awwn we can make this happen if we work together, even though I blatantly have no coding ability and can't really do anything useful and am just expecting others to do all the work for me! we can do thisss guyzzz come awnnn!!!11!wunwunwun!!!'

And seriously, what the f*ck would be the point in linux on the DSi? Even if it was possible why would you want an incredibly dumbed down version of something you can use on hundreds of other devices? I can't even see any use it would have for hacking either.

Well, whatever. The OP's retardedness is amusing.

the reason you would want linux on the dsi is because its convinient and it could be used to access the NAND flash and retrieve the common key. Which if you didnt know will help develop the homebrew channel. (to put it in simple words at least)
