The Official NDS Homebrew Thread


Recommended Posts

Well, the M3 is the more advanced cart. It has more and faster RAM, allowing for better GBA compatibility and a larger, more advanced firmware. I've always just gone for the Supercard because GBA isn't that important to me (the Supercard has almost perfect compaitbility anyway) and I couldn't justify almost double the price just for a GUI. That said, I have some extra money these days, so I think I just might go for the M3 Lite over the Supercard Lite, pending the release of both so I can compare.

A lot of people prefer the SC over M3 because it's nice and simple. It's up to you to decide how much you want to spend and if a GUI is important enough to you to spend all that extra money.

Somebody should make SC3 Lite (combination of both). With M3's tech, and SC's price.

Haha. Well the M3 team are now making the M3 Pro. It's an M3 with no GBA support, and it's a bit less than the Supercard. So there is that alternative if you don't plan on playing any GBA backups. Still haven't heard anything about an M3 Pro Lite, but I assume they will make it at some point.

I'm looking for info about the M3 lite and the SC lite, but haven't found any :(

can somebody post a link please?

There is simply not a lot of info available about them right now. The creators of both carts have not released any official information about them. Only small details to people via MSN and email.

there was a forum topic on one of the main sites about this kind of stuff where people got an email back from the M3 creator saying it would be out this month. with the supercard also out this month we should have some nice choices before us come the end of july if all these dates hold true.

i'll be waiting for both to come out before making my choice :) hopefully i'll be over in hong kong start of august so can get one while im there~~ :)

thanks JB for keeping us updated.. sorting through other websites has been tiresome. it seems people all over are asking the same questions over and over. perhaps a really detailed FAQ should be made for all these forums..

hmm for some reason it eats battery really really quick.. or my battery was very very low to start with...gotta test again with full battery

hey JianBing, u gotta teach me to use Moonshell sometime, I downloaded the new .zip file, but don't know what to do from there.

Check out the text document I've attatched. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Also, I posted my compile of it earlier in the thread. You can check that out.

A Chinese blog site has posted renders of a mystery flashcart. They are not saying what one it is, only that it will be out next month in China for about 35USD. Could it be the Supercard Lite or M3 Lite?

Sweet! Psxbox.net has the EZ-Flash IV Lite's back in stock so mine got shipped today! And my Nintendo DS Lite arrived today.. Overnight shipping for free! I <3 Amazon.com lol.

Now all i need is the microsd card i ordered and waiting for my ez flash 4 to get here from china and i can start having some fun!!

Is there anything you can do with a ds without a game to play? I see a download option, but it doesn't exactly do anything.

Download is for multiplayer when somebody else has a game, and for download stations such as Best Buy and EBgames, where u can download demos to try within the store (the games are gone when u walk out or close the DS)

U can play with the pictochat :p I draw stuffs on it like a flipbook, and then press L and R together and it'll flip thru like a flipbook animation.

And, JianBing, isn't that the Neo something flashcart? Thanks for the readme.

Well, you can find a DS Download Station and play some demos. Or lpay some old GBA games

That's about it till all the homebrew equipment gets to your door. :pinch:

I don't think so. This is the Neo.

As you know my Chinese isn't great, so I got my girlfriend to double check it for me. It kind of teases you not telling what one it is, but from the clues it gives, I think it might be the M3.

Hmm.. the Readme u uploaded isn't working Jianbing :(

Try this.

Is anybody making a Lite flashcart for MiniSD? I would hate to have to buy a micro just for this.

I don't think that's possible. A MiniSD slot is just too big to fit in something the size of the GBA cover.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use some unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
