Hey all

I've started using a DSOne SDHC a little while ago. It automatically boots into the flashcart when the system is turned on, which means I can't access the functions on the regular DS menu while the flashcart is inserted. I abated this somewhat by switching to the game in my GBA slot using gbaswitch.nds, which I can just boot like it is a normal game from the flashcart menu. I was wondering if a similar script exists to enter the DS system settings? That way I would have acces to every functionality of the regular system menu i want from my flashcart menu.

There's a couple ways of doing that. First involves dumping firmware and converting it to NDS file:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-fw2nds-build-firmware-nds-from-firmware-bin.508831/

https://github.com/noceb0/fwrun (compiled build for this isn't available though)

You can dump the firmware required to use these options with this:

https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/dsbf_dump

Then just boot the firmware.nds file via your flashcart's loader (or boot fwrun if you managed to compile that) and you can access settings that way. Note that Wifi settings is not part of DS firmware so you can't access Wifi settings in this manner.

For wifi settings the best route is to dump the Wifi settings SRL from a 3DS and run that on your flashcart.

You can find a firmware.nds file by just googling as well but might well do it the legal way if you can. :P

    they're giving the internet an open text box?

    Look, it's China. They know what it's like when you give a poll to half a billion trolls.

    How much dollar do you think it is?

    ONE MILLION DOLLA

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • Veho @ Veho:
