Hacking Supercard DStwo plug-ins

[VatoLoco]

DSx86 works fine as a plugin (on DSL, dunno bout DSi),

i just made a quick plug for it, used it to launch DSx86, then played some DukeNukem2 =D

i added it to the pack in my sig

edit: fix'd tiny pixel glitch

Just tried out the Duke3D plugin on my NDSL. The duke3d.grp I am using is v1.4 - Atomic Edition. The game loads, but there is no sound.

i have the 1.4 atomic edition, and sound works on my DSL as a plugin.

"let's rock!"....

the audio in the port has always sounded like crap though

I have an icon in my build of frodoDS (see above)

Have you changed the nds file? (I assume you have, making sure)

 

[VatoLoco]

i dont think he needs to, as it is Spinals own build of Frodo (not a duplicate version of a HB thats already at filetrip), the icon is there for convenience.
maybe other homebrew developers will follow suite and add icons[

Thank you Spinal_chord for the updated FrodoDS

Indeed, this build offers better scaling and slightly improved speed (managed to drop the frameskip a little) at a slight cost to the sound quality.

Ironically this thread turned into a better homebrew resource than the official homebrew essentials topic.

Ive updated my icon packs with plugins for: ComicbookDS, Pang, Still Alive, ClIRC, msxDS, ScummVM.


I also revamped and added a bunch to the borderless icons pack (nice big pics compared to the 32x32) =)

There is a total of 55x2 homebrew shortcuts here. Most of em have been tested, but not all,
..and theres a few that dont work as plugs for me (linux, ManicMinerLL, CNhacker, and one or two more) but i left them in, because they will hopefully work at some point with future revisions of the firmware.

be sure to Enjoy! All pleasure in it

The Beup Live icon appears very blurry on the DSTWO, to the point it doesn't seem to be reading the icon. The plug-in does work, but the icon is missing. Any help?

Berthenks image was 24bit. i took the liberty of fixing it, and amended it as 1.1 to his download.

Has anybody tried this DS2Tools? If so, does it work well?

Yeah it's actually pretty useful the only thing that sucks is the download speed for Supercard Updates because of the huge size, but the size skins is enough to save you time from pulling out your SD.

 

[alidsl]

Im going to ask for permission to put it in the full pack or on the first post

 

[alidsl]

I got permission for DS2tools, so we have it on the first post, registration is needed for the download however
http://forum.supercard.sc/thread-6268-1-1.html

Can anyone do some testing (if you own both a DSL and DSi) to see if some of the plug-ins work on DSi?

I would if I could - I don't have Wifi

As for the permission - did it allow us to download it & put it up onto Filetrip as a 'mirror' download ?? - that way others don't have to register to download it

 

[alidsl]

Don't know I didn't ask, rebornX mirrord it to filetrip but missed out the correct author and version
I asked him to change that

 

[slayerdx]

I will test the NDL when i get it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a plugin that let you watched videos that were in mkv format.

I tried using the DS2tools yesterday. SkinUP doesn't work on a DSi. You can move the cursor on the list, but that's it. Once you try downloading a skin preview or the actual skin, it just freezes. And yes, I waited long enough. DataUP works.

EDIT: It DOES work. I just tried it again. Weird...
