Really sorry about this but if you downloaded the file in the first before this post appeared then you'll need to redownload it as I found a bug in the file browsing system.

Sounds good

I'll try it when i get my DS back

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Could you upload in megaupload? Thanks, sounds like a really sweet program!

 

[TrolleyDave]

MegaUpload links added to top post as alternate download

 

[iwakura]

sounds incredible! i would love it if you could add NDSmail, obviously for reading emails!

you can get it here: http://www.bronto-online.de/ndsmail.htm
and yes it does run on R4 with DLDI patching.

edit-

cant test it yet, R4 should arrive monday! but this is a definite essential (or will be at least), it should be included in the R4 packaging!

sounds cool, will dl for when my r4 arrives lol
what do u need for doom? the WADs etc?

 

[TrolleyDave]

The installation that's included has the shareware WAD needed to get it running. If you've got the full release WAD then you can either copy it on to the card after installing it from the menu or you could add the full release doom.wad into the doom.zip file that's in the GAMINSTS directory and it'll automatically install it.

Will work on NDSMail later.

Sounds good

I'll try it when i get my DS back

When you go your DS back??

This is a really great app TrolleyDave. I used it on a spare card just for kicks, and it worked great. I could see this thing being very useful.

Great job.

 

[TrolleyDave]

Version 0.99beta released. Lots of improvements (including browsing of the R4DS forum!) including addition of RAR support.

 

[decept]

Thanks TD, downloading now.

 

[SpectralSounds]

Nice man. I havent tried it out yet, but I plan on it. Keep up the good work.

 

[TrolleyDave]

V0.991beta released. Fixes various bugs (including problem with loading saved lists) and added MavisXP skin website in browser.

 

[TrolleyDave]

Some update packs released containing other emulators and games and a NDSMail pack.

R4 Commander v0.994beta released. Everything is done from a blog now, instructions are on there on how to install it and stuff. I've broken everything down into small packs.

If you just want backup/dpg/mp3 management and only one firmware just download the installation zip. For update packs I would create a folder called
Updates in the R4 Commander folder and put everything in there, that way you know where everything is quickly.

To install one use the Install Update Pack button from the Utils tab, a file browser should appear, pick the pack you want to install and the program should do the rest.

Remember you can download the packs directly from inside the R4 Commander, the website is one of the options in the browser.

Version 0.995beta released.

- Fixed a couple of bugs.
- Added support for V1.07 Rev B firmware. Now installs theme.ini file along with skin.
- Add Refresh button to the browser.
- Added Firmware 1.07 Rev B firmware update pack.
