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.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
