The Official NDS Homebrew Thread


Recommended Posts

WOOOHHHHHOOOO

I got my R4 DS two hours ago...And all I can say is Thanks to the guys that recommended it... ;)

Only had a chance to check out my backups...But so far so good...

Can wait to try out some homebrew stuff... :cool:

So I got my DS lite along with my R4DS and a 1gb microSD. I must admit... I'm loving the R4DS

it's fast, supports soft reset in games, supports sleep mode (when you close the lid in the middle of the game).

But now I'm afraid to download homebrew apps 'cause of the bricking virus for the DS :(

Does anyone have any suggestions to make sure I avoid this like the plague?

Any good anti-virus that detects it?

If you get your homebrew from the sources listed on the 1st page, I'm pretty sure you wont have any problems...just stick to the reputable sources...I got my homebrew stuff from those links, and no problems so far, ok I lie, I cant get some of them to work... Edit: But I havent bricked my DS...

Have to go through the DLDI tutorial again :blush:

No amount of DLDI patching will help apps work if they haven't been coded with DLDI support in mind. DLDI is fairly new on the scene and lots of homebrew just isn't written for anything other than the old slot-2 methods. Give it time and authors still developing their apps should add DLDI in due time.

As far as the virus goes, I wouldn't worry about it. Just stick to reputable sources and read comments before installing anything. You could also flashme your DSL if you're that worried about it.

Oh ok...

Yeah, the DSorganize I got just freezes after searching for the supercard and m3 settings...

Btw, can you play over wifi using backups?

Oh, and what is the minimum internet connection that you will require to play smoothly online...?

Edit: Thanks in advance

With the M3 DS Simply pretty much any game will work with Wifi, with no real issues. However, download play seems to have issues with certain games.

As for the internet connection.. I honestly can't tell you. I have a 10mbps download/684kbps upload connection and it's usually smooth.. But it depends on the game, plus where the individuals you're playing live (and trust me, considering how massive the DS is in Japan, you will get matched up with them often lol).

Hey peoples,

I'm going to buy one of these for my GBASP:

http://www.bamboogaming.com/flash-cards/su...ion/prod_3.html

It says it supports up to 1GB SD card, if I bought a 4GB SD card, will it work.

Sometimes the description is out of date, and I know my PDA says supports up to 512MB SD card, and I have a 1GB in there and works fines.

So yeah, what do you think?

I used to play DS online with 56k and usually it was fine (though the voice chat in Metroid didn't work, and Metroid is what displayed lag if any game did)

Kewl...will have to try it out somewhere...

Problem is I cant afford an internet connection like ADSL or higher, because here in South Africa, our state owned monopoly phone company, Telkom, is bleeding us dry...Telkom - Wikipedia I mean most of the lines are capped :angry:

Ok, gonna get an aneurism if i continue...

lol...yeah, dont wanna face a Japanese guy in any game right now, still getting used to mario kart...Love that game.

Looks like they changed the packaging on the M3 Simply. Mine is very different.

Yea, they seem to no longer be including the White casing. Lucky for me, i got the black DS.

The Lite on the other hand, came with 5 Cases. White, pink, navy, black, light green i think it is.

alright, i read a few of the pages, but i'm still not 100% sure.

Anywho, i got a ndsl for my bday from my girlfriend, but basically i want to get a m3simply, would that be everything i need to play homebrew & backups? also if i wanted to play gba would i need only need the m3lite?

thanks in advance.

If you get the M3Simply or the R4DS (like mine :D ), then all you would need is the micro sd memory to run your homebrew / backups...

If you have the M3Simply, it would act as a passme device, then you would only need the gba flashcart like the m3lite...But if you dont have the M3simply, then you would need to buy a passme device to boot the m3lite...

So if you want to get the M3simply AND want to play gba backups then you would need-:

M3simply (DS backups and as a passme for the gba slot)

M3Lite (Gba backups)

2 micro sd cards, one for the Simply and one for the lite...

Hope this was helpful... ;)

Ok guys...The text reader in Moonshell ****es me off...!!!...Its too small, and only displays on one screen.

What I want to know is, am I just being an idiot, and there is a way in moonshell to dislay the text on both screens and a lot larger? OR is there another app I can get where the text can be displayed better?

What would be IDEAL is for an app to display the text in the same way as the "Reading Aloud" exercise in Dr Kawashima's Brain Training...

Thanks guys...

Does anyone know of any homebrew apps for slot 1 cards to extract or change save data on a GBA game in slot 2? Is it even possible?

I don't think anyone has accomplished that sorry. I could be wrong, but the Slot-1 to Slot-2 communication seems to be very limited, even within games with support.

There seems to be some big bandwidth problem with the GBA slot that causes problems with Slot-1. That's why if you only have a slot-1 card solution, it can't play any gba content (homebrew or otherwise). I wish it wasn't the case lol.

    • 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.
