Hacking TopToy DSTTi

[aardvarks]

Just thought i would let you know the TopToy DSTTi
with a 4gb mem card works fine in my uk dsi

 

[DarkestNova]

um... ok. Thanks, lol.
Though, I don't plan on getting a DSi. Seems like the GBA slot is something I can't go with out.. And I certainly aint going to give it up just for a few cameras, LOL.

once i got a dslite, i drifted away from GBA games. but i have a feeling that those games will be downloadable on DSi, and maybe hackable

 

[DarkestNova]

They might be downloadable, but still...

The only thing I worry about is Nintendo releasing updates that will kill the flash cards. If this happens it will pay off to get a card that is updated often, if that will help. As far as getting a DSI. Like most people above the age of 10 I could care less about taking lo res pictures with my DS and I already have an mp3 player and even if I didn't I dont think the DS would make a good mp3 player, it's too bulky for that. Now if some cool games come out that use the camera's or if some really cool downloadable content is offered that changes everything. The one thing that I am interested in is the larger and brighter screens. I suppose eventually if a reliable flash solution is found I will need to get a DSI for the bigger/brighter screens regardless, but there is no rush I would rather wait a year or so.

The lack of a GBA slot doesn't bother me, I have a GBA SP with a backlit screen I use for GBA games when I feel the need.

Quick question - you mean that the DSTTi works even after the "required" firmware update that you need to load the DSiWare store? Just checking. Thanks.

To let you know - the answer is 'YES'

My [new] setup is DSTTi (with YSMenu) + Black DSi (GB version, that came out 3rd April) + Nintendo USB Wifi Adaptor

I wanted to try out the DSiWare 'shop' & needed to 'update' before I could get access (this was on the same day I got the DSi [3rd April]) so I took the gamble
After download of update (I'm apparently now version '1.3E' but I don't know what it was before - sorry) & looking @ the DSiWare shop (note there's not much there at the moment), I tried the DSTTi & it STILL WORKED

(I'm annoyed that you are unable to transfer 'Wii Points' to 'DSi Points' though - I've got quite a few on that that I haven't used

)

I even tried it with the 'dodgy' Acekard 2i that I have (I say it's 'dodgy' because it occasionally froze on the Heath screen on my DSLite) & that one still worked as well

How long it'll be if/when Nintendo does block flash cards I don't know - keep your fingers crossed they 'forget' about it

Can you try the DSTTi with the DSi set in French ?

OK - I've set DSi to 'French' & tried the DSTTi to start 'Mario Kart' & 'Neves' up
Both games when started ALSO shows the menus in French (well I guess it's french since I haven't done that since I left school

)

a couple of notes
- The DSi shows 'Start DS Card', but other options are in French ('Parametres de la console'/'Appareil photo Nintendo DSi Nintendo' etc)
- My DSTTi uses YSMenu as it's default menu - but once booted up I tried both games using BOTH YSmenu and TTMenu (started by starting up 'TTMenu.nds' while in YSMenu)
& both games showed French on the menus

Hope this helps

Since AceKard 2i doesn't work in French, yes you helped a lot

Yeaaah

After many hours of research, i found finally my answer : DSTTi + 1.3E works haha

 

[DaFees]

So quick question, since the DSTTi works with the new DSI, what can / can't this card run? I assume it can run all things the regular DSTT could run on the DSL?

 

[samred]

Thanks for these answers. And from what I've heard, DaFees, it runs all homebrew and games in original DS mode 100%, but access to the DSi's extra power/RAM/etc hasn't yet been tapped. Someone, please feel free to prove me wrong there.

A word of warning - I notice you're in USA, & I believe that USA DSi have 1.3U firmware. I'm not sure but quite a few people have been having problems in the USA, especially with the Acekard 2i, where their flashcard will not work - & this could be because USA is blocking them. Just take care

To everyone with a DSi - I've noticed a lot of people asking 'Does [this flashcard] work on [this country] DSi after an update ?' in other forums
- So can I ask a favour & if you happen to have a DSi & you've either going to or have updated it (regardless which country you're in) can you post your results at http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=146321 (No 'I've got a problem'/'Can you help' posts please). This way we'll have a single point of reference for this problem

Thanx in advance
