The Official NDS Homebrew Thread


Recommended Posts

If I were to order it from china, would the menu be in chinese? From the site, they also will be sending all NDS Roms along with the product. Bad bad bad!

Yes, the menu would be in Chinese, with no way to update it to English. So you are better off just waiting for the English version. Shouldn't be long now. It also said that they are considering an 8Gb version (1GB).

About the ROMS, well, it's a Chinese product, so what do you expect? :rofl: . I highly doubt they will be included with the English version though.

Edit: English version available next week :D .

Awesome stuff...at that price, I am soo tempted to get one. Does it work with the new Superkey?

Awesome stuff...at that price, I am soo tempted to get one. Does it work with the new Superkey?

Yeah, me too :p . No word on the US price yet though, so not sure if it will remain that cheap or not. Plus I would need at least 1GB of space, and probably by the time they release that size, the M3 Lite will be out so I may as well just go for that so I can have expandable memory.

As far as the Superkey, it should be compatible. The Superkey and Passcard3 so far have the exact same compatibility, and since Passcard3 is made by the same company as the G6, the Superkey should work. We'll have to wait until it's out for confirmation though.

Here's a ton of images of the G6 Lite. 56k run while you still can!!!

Looking pretty nice. I may just have to get one when the 1GB comes out ;)

Oh man that looks good, I think seeing that gorgeous and perfect fit makes me sold. The 512MB might just work fine for me, as I don't plan to watch movies on mine or listen to music on mine (have a video ipod), it will mainly be for Homebrew games and other emulation things. Very nice. BTW, is there an ETA in the 1GB version...and also, can you tell me where you think the best place to order one will be (based on price and being shipped to the USA)?

Oh, and did you get your new Superkey yet?

OK, i just got mine about a week or two ago, and I'm really interested in getting Homebrew running on it, so can somebody tell me what i would need?

I know i need a flashcart and such (G6 Lite looks nice), and a "NoPass" kind of device, but what are the best ones, with the best compatibility with things? (and such)

I get all my stuff from Kicktrading. Fast delivery (usually within a few days) and great service. He responds to emails right away. He's having a problem with paypal right now due to his high volume, but it should be solved by the 26th. Linky

About my Supekey, it's been waiting to be picked up at the post office for a couple of days now, but I haven't been able to get there before they close because of my work schedule. I'll be picking it up on Friday :)

Whats the difference with this and the EZ4 Lite, other than the fact that this has fixed ram and the EZ4 Lite takes microsd cards?

There are too many cards i dunno which is best :(

The G6 is much better quality and looks nicer. It also has better compaitibility particularly with homebrew.

Yeah, there are a lot of cards and it can be confusing. You have to look at the features of each card and what you plan on using it for. The two best allround cards are the M3 and Supercard. Both are pretty much the same but the M3 has a nice GUI loader and Moonshell built into it's firmware, where as the Supercard just has a basic text loader. The Supercard is a lot less expensive so you have to decide if eye candy is worth the extra price. Also the M3 runs GBA a little bit better.

Keep in mind there are no versions of the M3 and Supercard that fit flush in the Lite, but the M3 version should be out within a month with the Supercard not far behind.

I think I may be buying myself one of those...Where do you suggest I buy one from when they come out?

See the Kicktrading link above.

You'll find all your answers earlier in the thread.

Edit: Was just looking over those pics again and I'm wondering if the G6 Lite will be able to fit inside the original GBA cover case. Hmmm.... :iiam:

Anybody have any luck running DS Linux? I have a DS Lite, M3 MiniSD and Passcard 2. When I start dslinux.ds.gba I get this message:

VFS: Mounted root (romfs filesystem) readonly.
Freeing init memory: 56K
Warning: unable to open initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

I only gave DS Linux a quick try, because I just couldn't be bothered typing out all kinds of commands on an on screen keyboard just to preform simple tasks. I'd suggest asking here, they will probably be able to help you.

Just letting everyone know that the G6 Lite is available for preorder on Winsunx. It comes to about $100USD with shipping, still considerably cheaper than the older models.

Does anyone know of a program that can unstick stuck pixels? My DS Lite has a green pixel on the top screen and I know that I can take it in and exchange it but since I've been messing with the homebrew stuff, I thought I'd see if it'd fix my pixel first and if not, I can get it exchanged.

Thanks in advance.

I just noticed there's a nice working MSN messenger homebrew app for the DS! Got this from http://drunkencoders.com/

Beup v0.2

You can download it from here (along with changelogs/bugs) http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?p=88737#88737

I tried it and it works really nicely, just have some bugs with Authentication sometimes, and the drawing feature doesn't seem to work with Windows Live Messenger.

Can't get past DCHP connection, always says cannot connect :(

Can't wait for a working msn for the DS :)

Yep, all backups work online so far. I use mine for the same thing. It's nice to just have all your games on one little cart and not have to lug them arround.

I recieved my Superkey today, so here is a very brief review...

Packaging:

The packaging is actually the nicest I've seen for any kind of flash device. It looks like it is directly from Nintendo and has the same look as the DS Lite package.

p10002154vv.th.jpg

Appearance:

It looks just like a regular DS cart and fits in the console the same as a regular DS cart. Can't ask for more than that.

Effectiveness:

I had my DS Fat's firmware flashed, and this works just like flashing the firmware, exept it still shows the Health and Warning screen. It couldn't be any easier to use. Just put it in the DS game slot like a normal DS cart and turn on the DS. It boots into your flashcarts menu and allows you to run the files just like flashing your firmware does.

Booted into the Supercard menu using Superkey

p10002181yx.th.jpg

All the homebrew that I've tried so far and backups run just as they did with flashing the firmware.

Booted into the homebrew app Moonshell using Superkey.

p10002132zi.th.jpg

In closing, the Superkey is the perfect alternative to those that don't want to take the risk of re-flashing thier firmware. It's just as effective as flashing your firmware, well built, and extremely easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a passme/nopass device.

10/10

Superkey > Passcard 3?

They are actually both the exact same thing. Even manufactured in the same factory. The only difference is that the Passcard 3 has an extra splash screen. So for that I would deduct .5%. So Passcard 3=9.5/10, Superkey=10/10. Both are great products though. Can't go wrong with either one. Just the passcard 3 is a few dollars more, so you are essentially paying a few dollars more for an extra spash screen :p

Is there any way to display the little game icons with my M3 SD like those with a G6 can do?

Not that I know of, but M3 just updated thier firmware, not sure if they added that or not. You can ask on thier official forums here.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
