Hacking Gaming Hardware Oldies Others nds-bootstrap now supports Flipnote Studio on Nintendo DS and DS Lite consoles

[SylverReZ]

The DSi homebrew community has made a significant contribution to nds-bootstrap, a compatibility layer for the DS application launcher, TWiLight Menu++. Adding compatibility for the most requested DSiWare application, Flipnote Studio, for the DS phat and DS light consoles in the DS family. As of release, it does not yet support B4DS mode due to memory limits, and so is in a work-in-progress condition. (more info found in release log).

If you grew up in the 2000's, then you'll be sure aware of what Flipnote Studio is and would've had fond memories using it. The Flipnote Studio application gained popularity among many talented artists and hobbyists from across the globe who created animations based on pop culture, until the year 2013 when the Hatena service shut down, losing all of the hard work that people had gotten to know about. But all was not lost, as it got revived back in 2014 with the release of Sudofox's Sudomemo to revive the now-defunct Hatena service used to distribute flipnotes.

Agreed! This is amazing news for me, as I fondly remember using Flipnote Studio back in the day to create silly animations on the now-active Sudomemo service. Surprising how they're still going.

I actually never used it because I didn’t own a DSi, so kind of interested in seeing where this goes from here

I don't understand. Does this mean that TwilightMenu++ now works on the DSLIte, giving us the ability to play GBA roms on a DSLite using TwilightMenu++?

Yes.

It means that Flipnote Studio works on DS phat and lite. Not just DSi.

This is pretty cool, I've been using sudomemo on a dsi LL for awhile and it's really fun to check in on every now and then.

Of course you can. It's a feature.

On an unrelated note, this thread is over 8-months old now.
