SupercardDStwo plugins​
​

​
Official DStwo plug-ins can be found here:​
​
The idea of this thread is to create as many plugins as we can, so any plugin is appreciated​
​
Uploading plug-ins​
When uploading a plug-in please add:​
The bmp icon​
The ini icon​
NOT THE NDS FILE (Unless there is a requirement in the file)​
​
Please state in your post whether it's (a(n))​
Emulator​
Utility​
Multimedia/reader​
Game​
Homebrew loader​
​
Add if it works or not and state which Type of DS you own​
​
How to add plugins:​
Just copy the Bmp icon and Ini file into the "_dstwoplug" folder and the nds file (ie. DSorganize.nds)​
The ini file name is hook to the .nds file.​
​
So if the .ini is name DS.ini anything in the dstwoplug folder that is call DS.nds is going to load when u select it from the menu.​
Inside the .ini is the code that hooks the picture/ .bmp and the name shown in the menu.​
​
​
Example:​
Snes.ini <--------------------> Snes.nds​
l​
[plug setting]​
icon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/snesDS.bmp <-------------> snesds.bmp icon shown on menu​
name=snesDS <------------> name on scds2 menu​
​
​
​
Make your own:​
Use traitor's psd's​
Then Use Xenon++'s Bmp converter​
Features:​
  • Can run on Windows/Linux/OSX (if you compile)
  • Can convert any pixels (supports iSmartMultiMedia, not only DSTWO)
Create a *.txt text file and then enter the following text, save the txt file and then rename the *.txt file to *.ini.​
Such as homebrew.nds need a *.ini file named homebrew.ini.​
​
​
CODE​
[Plug setting]​
​
Icon = fat1: / _dstwoplug /homebrew software name.bmp​
Name = homebrew software name​
​
​
Plug-in linker​
This program creates an nds file that can load a file anywhere else on the cart​
so if you have a nds file that has to be run from the root can be used​
​
Plug-in not working?​
Find the problem by looking at this (cheers Cannonfoddr)​

4968673256_40abba9f72.jpg
4968673332_a4bbc5c08f.jpg
​
As you can see​
IF the 'ini' is missing you get the orange ' ?'​
If the BMP file is the wrong bit-depth (i.e 24-bit & not 16-bit) you get 'garbage'​
If you don't supply a BMP (or the BMP is named wrongly in the 'INI') you just get a 'blank' space​
​
​
​
List and links​
​
Some Plug-ins will require roms, please don't ask for them here​
Also some plug-ins may be in the wrong format, if so just rename to a bmp and post here​

what program do u use to make these icon. i need my icon to be 16 bit
I use 'GIMP' to convert my graphics to 16-bit, just choose 'advanced options' when saving & choose the 'X1 R5 G5 B5' option

@ alidsl: I've sent you a reply - you don't really need the link to 'lmp-ng' program for my plugin package (even though it is wrong) as my package already contains the program
oh & I've updated the TextDS complete package to include matt140's icon - it's @ http://filetrip.net/file.php?id=11455

Edit - Oh you've changed the program link as I was typing - so ignore my first comment

Glad to see my icon noticed, hehe. Can't think of any other popular homebrew apps to do at the moment :S.

BTW, not a requirement or anything, just wondering if you could add me in the credits for the TextDS2 plugin (just the icon!) on the first post

Hmm... is there a software that allows you to convert pictures to 16-bit without the need for installation? I remember some guy provided one with the MMSF2 Face Picture creator program, but I can't seem to find it again :/
 
Whenever I load jEnesisDS as a plugin, it loads fine. But when I load a rom the emulator freezes.

Any ideas for a solution?
 
I tried Sonic the Hedgehog. It loads fine when I load it normally,but when I load it from the plugins all roms freeze.
