Spinal's DSision2 is out

[SoulAnger]

For those who are interested in an alternative menu/os for flash carts, I am remaking DSision.
It should work on any card and provides a nice looking interface, rather than a plain text list of files.
If anyone has seen the old version (http://spinal.dizidesigns.co.uk/dsision.php), then new version has a few improvements.

- Improvements over last version -
Works on R4DS [so far]
Larger, higher resolution, higher color depth icons
Custom icons per file/folder
GBA support through EZ 3-in-1
[Potential] Commercial game support on some cards (TTDS, AceKard, R4DS)
EZ 3-in-1 RAM unlocking for OperaDS

Sorry, there are no screenshots yet, it doesn't run properly in emu.

Is anyone interested in using this?


You can now download DSision2 from here.

I installed it on my R4, and it looks pretty cool, especially the Layton theme.
But it fails to load my games, so I deleted it again.

Gonna check it out now!

Some notes. This should have been in the readme, but i was very tired

For the boxart images to work, they need to be named to match the filename of the .nds file you want to use it with. So if you have "dsision.nds" on your card, the boxart image needs to be named "dsision.nds.bmp" Same with the custom icons.

To load commercial games (remember to only use games you have backed up yourself + check how legal it is to do that in your own country), you need to have ysmenu working on your card, it must be named "ysmenu.nds" and placed in the root of the card.

Be sure to use the R4 version of DSision if you have an R4 (or clone) card, or else the R4 firmware will patch it wrong and it probably wont work properly. The TTDS version is the one I'm currently using on my card as the default menu, it is basically a regular .nds file, patched for the ttds and renamed. The normal version should work on most other cards.

the readme is pretty um... just info. not a tutorial on what to do and how to use it...

ITs not difficult, just unzip the dsision folder and dsision2.nds to the root of your card.

I hope it works on a SCDS1.

It works with M3 Real. Homebrew works too... But how can I use custom boxarts, for DS Games? I resized them to 128x115 en saved them as a bitmap. I rnamed it too (let me say) Chrono Trigger.nds.bmp and it still says no boxart

oh, in the root, that's why it wasn't working

When I tried it it didn't want to load my games?

All I have to say is AWSOME WORK SPINAL thank you!!!!

looks a great alternative to the crappy TTDS loader

Is the filename and the image name both correct?

e.g. chrono trigger.nds AND chrono trigger.nds.bmp ? also, did you put the boxart into the covers folder?

 

[JPdensetsu]

Yeah, I did that...

Can't get it to run my games.
I have YSMenu.nds in the root, but when I try to boot a game, it just runs YSMenu instead.

 

[LivingToDie]

doesnt work on my m3 real...
copyd the folder dsisision and the .nds file and when i boot i first get a black screen for 30 sec. and after that a green screen with a clock in the upper left corner...

 

[Noitora]

For some reason DSision boots with no backlight :/
And light is equal to 1 in the ini.
But it's looking good!

Same here.

You also have to copy the .ini file and maybe the PICS folder, but I'm not sure of that last one.

make sure ysmenu is set up correctly and with all the required files

YSMenu works perfectly, I can run all games with it, but whenever I try to run a game via DSision, it runs YSMenu instead. THEN I can run the game via YSMenu, but I don't think that's what it is supposed to do.
