The Official NDS Homebrew Thread


Recommended Posts

Got my SC Lite today! Realhotstuff rocks! It shipped out on saturday, and it got here this afternoon (tuesday) despite the labor day weekend.

Question. Since I have the SC Lite with MicroSD now, I need the new Supercard software to convert games and such right? I went to their site and downloaded the version for SC Lite, but the zip files contains several files other than the Supercard setup file. What are those files for?

They are:

moonshell reset for supercard.nds

UPGRADE.scu

patch moonshell for supercard.exe

scfont.fon

Another question is, can I still use the save files from the SC Mini? So I don't have to beat every game again.

I had a problem with the time it took Divineo to ship, so I cancelled my order, they gave my credit card a full refund. They didn't do the same for you?

I payed with a money order. I cancled and got the confirmation of the cancel, then almost two weeks later I suddenly got a mail saying they have the SC Lite in stock and do I want them to proceed with the order. I said no, I canceled it. Please return the money order at my cost. Well I never heard back from them. Been about 3 weeks from them and I've sent them several e-mails and never got a response. I'm going to try calling them tomorrow.

The Moonshell files are for getting Moonshell working on the SC Lite. They shouldn't be needed now though as Moonshell has been updated for SC Lite, so you can just grab the latest version. The upgrade is a firmware update. Not sure that the scfont is...
For the firmware upgrade, do i just put it in the SC lite and run it on the DS?

oh and btw JianBing, can u update the compilation of Moonshell (from 1.33 to 1.4) on ur first page when u have a chance? Thanks

Yep, just put it on the root of your microsd and run it.

As for the Moonshell files, the 1.4 release doesn't work as a self contained .nds rom on SC for some reason. It crashes at bootup. I'm waiting to see if he will fix this. If not, I'll have to post the shell folder along with the exe files for each type of SC. Very annoying. I don't know why he broke it :p

:woot: My M3 Lite has been shipped by Kicktrading and will be here in a few days.

I got my M3 today.. and the chipset was in the black case.. when i changed it to the white casing.. it was very tight to get into SLOT2.. is yours the same?

Also.. what should i do on this message prompt?

"A massage will appear to ask you to install or bypass the installation procedures. (press "start" to install, press "A" to bypass)"

What does it do?

I've not recieved my M3 yet. It's been shipped, but will not arrive until if not Friday then Monday. So I can't anwser your questions on it yet. You can ask at gbatemp or the M3 forums, they will be able to help you.

Kingston are good for M3 apparently. Basically get as fast as one as you can find. Reports thus far are that the M3 Lite doesn't share the same preformance boost over the other versions that the SC Lite did.

Does this mean that Kingston isn't good for Supercard? More specifically, are the Kingston miniSD's good for Supercard?

Kingston is still good and will run great. Sandisk just seems to get a little bit better preformance for some reason. It really only makes a difference 3 or 4 games though and they are older ones. No big deal.

Also, M3 just released a new firmware update and patcher and reports are that all SD cards get great preformance now. Hopefully the the SC team will follow suit.

The new ezflash software sped up the castlevania intro for me on my sandisk microsd quite a bit. It used to be a slideshow to now it actually plays a video, however it does lag when there is a lot of motion. I read about the kingston microsds being a bit faster so i popped in the 1gigger i bought for my chocolate phone into the ez4lite and the movie is even better- however still very slight choppiness in the highest motion moments.

I wish i could use some of the homebrew stuff like dsorganize et al, so im reallly really thinking about dropping another $80 for an m3lite. I'll wait for ji@nbing to get one and hopefully give a nice in-depth review on it. moonshell + movies/mp3 on the ez4lite is horrible, and i've been wondering what it was like on the m3lite.

Devs (one of the mods at scdev.org) has posted a nice review of the M3 Lite at gbatemp.net. There have been several other reviews, but they were all rather sloppy and "ametuerish", so I didn't post them.

Really can't wait for mine to arrive now. I've got the latest firmware, patcher, and a few themes on my desktop just waiting to be used :p

I've got mine.. but don't know what to do with the M3Lite... what does the firmware update anyways.. I hope it doesnt touch the DS firmware. So what exactly does it update? :huh:

I hope I'll be able to add some nice apps to it tonight.

It doesn't touch the DS firmware. Just updates the firmware of the M3. The latest update has a few bug fixes and enables a preformance increase when used with the newest patcher.

Is it just me or does this happen to everybody? When I run Setup.exe for Moonshell 1.4 the checkboxes for the supercard rom images are disabled. What do I need to do to get it running on the Supercard Lite? :wacko:

Grab the newest version, 1.41. It has SC Lite support.

Has anyone tried accessing their schools wifi (resnet) through nds browser with network key? is it possible? i dont have a nds myself just wondering if it works cause i might pick one up for FF3 THANKS

So the easiest way to do this is probably through your own computer (laptop). Get the Nintendo USB Wifi adapter and as long as the computer it's hooked up to has an internet connection, your DS will too. The adapter is only $30, so if you're going to do this all the time it might be a worthwhile investment for you.

i have had my m3 lite chinese version (as purchased from shop here in hong kong) and its a very nice unit. loving the way it fits in so nicely. saves working well... although i didn't know what i was doing at first as i hadn't put the saves in the correct location but nice unit indeed.

    • 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.
