The Official NDS Homebrew Thread


Recommended Posts

just so I have this straight, you need something like a "super key" plus something to hold the media on (like a gba cart)?

If this is correct, what combo should I get? I would prefer it not to stick out of the DS Lite, but I guess that could be negotiable.

EDIT***

Wow, I should have read the first page of this thread eh? :p

^Haha, yeah, best to read the thread before asking ;)

Just letting everyone know that the Supercard MicroSD will be released at the end of the month. No word on if it will have the same colors as the Lite's dust cover, or be the traditional Supercard clear plastic purple/blue. I literally just got the MiniSD Supercard yesterday too :rofl: .

BatchDGP is a replacement .dgp encoder app for veiwing movies in Moonshell. It has more options and encodes at a much better quality than the one that comes with Moonshell, as well as batch encoding. This app is a must have for anyone who uses Moonshell.

Is this one supposed to stick out @ all?

I think I will have to get me one of those Superkeys. I has a PassKey 2, but it is irritating how much it sticks out the back of the DS Lite. It really gets in the way of my hands. I don't really care if the G6 Fat sticks out.

oops, nevermind...i misread you.

Is there any reason the superkey won't work with the original G6? Is there any reason why it shouldn't? I don't like the Passkey2, it is too bulky.

BTW: I find it strange that I am having more compatbility luck with the G6 and the NDS then I was with the GBA. Does anyone else find this odd?

Superkey works perfect with the G6.

As far as the compatibility, it's not really surprising because the G6 is a newer generation flashcart and was designed with the DS in mind. It's not like the older ones designed for the GBA.

Ergh, Winsunx have pushed the price of the new G6 up to US$81.51, and have removed the cheaper "pro" version that doesn't include GBA support.

Yeah, there actually never was a G6 Lite Pro. Winsunx just assumed there would be because there is for the M3 and started taking pre-orders for it. They then bumped up the price for the "regular" G6 Lite due to demand. I wouldn't recommend using them. That's why I keep recommending kicktrading. He may not get things as quickly as the Chinese distributors or have prices as cheap as them, but his service is bar none and he doesn't screw over his customers like a lot of these places do.

I still can't understand why people don't just flash their DS' and get rid of their Pass*'s.

1) It voids the warranty

2) On the Lite it's a more risky proceedure, requiring a steady hand

3) The new generation of devices are so convenient it's not a big deal anymore

Exactly. I don't understand why people even bother flashing anymore. There's no need now.

^ also can you flash the ds without first having a device like a passcard. So if you need a passcard anyway . . why flash it? . .won't the passcard you bought be fairly useless after the ds has its firmware flashed. Unless there is a software hack to flash the ds (haven't looked up on it much) Seems similar to xbox tsop flashing. First you need to enable a tempory mod (usually throught software exploits, then jumper the points and flash the device). But like I said earlier, if the only way to flash the device is to buy a Passcard, then why not just use that passcard you bought, and not void your warrrenty.

From what stores are you guys buying these flash cards from? And how far does the Supercard stick out from DS Lite?

I've got all my stuff from kicktrading. He ships the next day and has great service and responds to any emails usually within an hour.

The Supercard MiniSD is the exact same size as a GBA cart, so it sticks out about 1cm. If you wait about a month, they will be releasing a MicroSD version that is the same size as the GBA slot cover.

Month is too long to wait :/ Ahh that site does carry EZ-Flash IV Lite.

The quality of the EZ isn't supposed to be that good and compatibility with homebrew not so hot either. If you want a cart right now that fits the Lite, go for the G6 Lite. The only problem with it is that it is only 512 MB. You will have to order it from a Chinese site though as most North American distributors don't have it yet.

Your other alternative is to just go for the Supercard MiniSD or M3 MiniSD for now and just sell it once the Lite versions come out (that's what I did).

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages.

New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
