OK, I'm not a programmer - so don't know if such a thing is possible (I know somethng like this was made by Xenon++) - BUT someone on another post asked the following question
[I am guessing that the DSTwo eos will 'ignore' any unrecognised lines in the ini file & the linker will 'ignore' the 'official' lines]
By having this - In theory - we could store all the homebrew/Games in any folder we like OTHER than the '/_dstwoplug/' folder, & it'll be a small 'workaround' while we wait (& see) for the Supercard team to include it
Any Comments about this ??
so that the linker (renamed to 'pokesav.nds' & placed in the '/_dstwoplug/' folder) will look at this ini & then load the file called 'PPSEDS.nds' stored on the ROOT directoryQUOTE said:I wonder if it's possible to add Games to the Plugin-List while the .ini points to the rom, like- so without copying the ROMs to _dstwoplugSo it got me thinking - Although he is talking about games (ROMS I'm guessing) & even though I've found MOST Homebrew does work when placed into the '/_dstwoplug/' folder, There are some programs that refuse to work from the plugin folder ('pokesavDS' is one in question - it HAS to have a copy of it on the root directory & it HAS to be named as 'PPSEDS.nds')Code:rom=fat1:/roms/game.nds
So here's my idea/request to any Developers
How about a small 'linker' *.nds file that is placed in the '/_dstwoplug/' folder instead of the actual Homebrew/Game.nds that does the following:-
1) Read the ini file of the same name of the linker '*.nds'
2) Load in the 'real' nds file that is stored in another folder
As we know the current ini file looks like this (in this example the ini would be called 'pokesavDS.ini')
so how about adding a line to this iniCode:[plug setting] icon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/pokesavDS.bmp name=PokesavDS
CODE[plug setting]
icon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/pokesavDS.bmp
name=PokesavDS
program=fat1:/PPSEDS.nds
