[DS] Universal DS Homebrew thread. Fucking cheapskates.

hay guys how do i install crysis core to mi ds

where cn i dwnld a new touch skreen??? i broken mine 1

seed plz

I got an M3 REEEAAAAAL a little while ago, but only just started messing around with it. Holy shit. Holy shit.



Holy shit.

I'm honestly surprised at how good some of these emulators are. Especially ApprenticeMinusDS, it's almost perfect for Master System games. <3 I know PSP is the go-to portable for emulators, but I use my DS a hell of a lot more. NOW I CAN PLAY MOLE MANIA ON THE TRAIN AND BE MR. COOL.

Also, I wasn't aware that they changed the intro for Klax on GBC.



YOU RUINED IT, MIDWAY.

NOW YOU CAN PLAY SKATE OR DIE BAD 'N RAD HOLY SHIT

Man I used to be so good at that game. That last level was freaking bullshit, though

Great, no sites that sell standalone slot-2 devices have any in stock.

Do you mean standalone as in it plays DS games too? You can still get the M3 Perfect Lite at Gameyeeeah. It's possible they're just being phased out though, due to being more expensive than Slot-1 + expansion combos, without a significant amount of extra functionality.

If you're just looking for the expansion carts, RealHotStuff has the M3 DS Real GBA pack and EZFlash 3-in-1. The eWin expansions are still available at PSXBoy.

I should go update my firmware for my EVO, though I don't have my Slot 2 yet. That autoloader is just another reason why EVO is the best one out there. Their support and development team actually.....CARE!

<3 Maybe now my TWEWY will stop crashing.

Is there any way to dump GBA roms with CycloDS, like there is for DS roms?

Yes, the newest stable firmware v1.4 for CycloDS has support for GBA games if you get a EZFlash 3 in 1 cartridge (or similar cartridge). It softpatches it to the 2nd slot via the menu in the CycloDS. The only bad part is that you can't get back to the CycloDS menu like you can with DS games. That of course may change in the future since the feature is still only in beta. I can say that it's worked perfectly so far. I'm halfway through Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland with no lag, no bugs, and the game saves too!

Oh wait. By dump roms did you mean something completely different? =o

I saw somewhere that the people who make the R4 aren't doing any more updates for it... is that just a rumor, or fact?

I ask because Daigasso Band Brothers DX apparently uses a larger than normal save file that'll require ALL of the flash cart makers to patch to make it work. I don't want to have gotten the cart that is going to remain partially broken forever

I think what he meant was putting a real GBA game in slot-2 and dumping a ROM to the Cyclo card. And... I'm not sure if you can.

Yeah, probably not. Dunno. Seems like it could be possible but it's not like there aren't actual tools out there for that.

Also Mo0, this is why I told you that you should have gotten a CycloDS. ACTUAL AWESOME CUSTOMER SUPPORT BY ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE.

The R4 team is just being quiet right now because of Nintendo busting their factory. They now usually release update/fixes to popular games. Since DBBDX seems popular enough, hopefully we'll see and update for it soon...

...or else I'm going to buy the game! I want to play the game SO bad!

You could ask on their forums. That's the nice thing about Team Cyclops stuff, they actually have forums!

Band Brothers, huh? I imported it a long time ago. It's alright. There are some interesting things you can do with it and I enjoyed it but I haven't touched the game in quite a while. I'm a bit confused as to why Nintendo didn't bring it over. All they'd have to do is remove the anime songs (licensing issues) and it would be just dandy.


Oh and yes what Dhsu said. =)

A lot of the appeal seems to be in the music creator. From what I could tell it's like Mario Paint on steroids or somesuch.

So is DX already out? I still need to beat the original...

Yeah, Band Brothers DX is out and Nintendo has sneaked something "extra" to combat pirates (or make it DRM-ish).

DX use a new save type, or rather, a larger save than the typical 512KB. At first people thought it was using 1MB which no flashcart supports it but TeamCyclops has discovered that the game actually use 8MB!
I'm not surprise because 100 downloadable songs + 100 user creation song wouldn't fit on a 512KB save file nor on 1MB.

Then people ran into another problem: they couldn't connect to the server to download songs. Why? Nintendo actually put some sort of ID to each cart so when people are using the same rom connecting to the server, they ban that ID.

Looks like I'm going to import a copy!

Buffet Overflow, if you want a quick fix to make the game run on the R4 (of course you cannot download any songs as mention above), make sure you're using the later version, 1.18. Then download this patched _DS_MENU.DAT and the 8MB save and you'll be all set.

That's actually pretty clever. I wonder if anyone who cares enough will come up with a way to patch the game with a random id.
