HaxxStation: DS Download Station exploit



13 years.

The original DS was released in 2004, and to this day, no hax for Download Play had been made.

Until now.

Gericom found an exploit in DS Download Station, allowing us to run any homebrew we'd like over DS download play.

Source code for dspatch: https://github.com/Gericom/dspatch

Enjoy!

Credits:
Exploit: shutterbug2000, Gericom, and Apache Thunder
Graphics: Jaames, Robz8

And if you want to load unsupported flashcarts on a DSi:

Yes.
Here's Apache Thunder's flashcard launchers edited for HaxxStation. @shutterbug2000 should put this in the first post.

ok
but I DEFINITELY have enough space- terabyte of memory and I've only used around a fifth of it
epic, its halfway done zippin'. Also, A few days ago, I decided to do something kinda funny Super Mario Maker 2's multiplayer VS mode. Every time I lose, I say "Thanks!" and every time I win, I say "Sorry!" recently, I've noticed that a few other players have started doing it, too. I hope that it becomes a traditional thing, eventually.

about a gigabyte of data

devkitpro is great, both in usefulness and size.

after you unzip it to where I said to, try running the .bat again
okay
will it run if nes2ds isn't in the same place? if not, where do I put that stuff?
edit: I didn't put it in the same place. It did not work. Now I'll try putting it in the same place.
edit 2: it does not work. it seems to try to build one of YOUR files- namely, the nes rom builder thing this is based off of. it tries to make it using YOUR user directories, and it... fails for obvious reasons.

it shoudnt matter where nes2ds is, but what DOES matter is that all the contents of the zip are in C:\devkitpro. Open that folder and see if theres another devkitpro folder all by itself
there is not
there is stuff like devkitarm, but even I know that's meant to be there since it's a major PART of devkitpro

I’m using 10. Also, last I checked we can’t distribute or link to roms directly, but the one I want is the English fan translated version of the fighting game Joy Mech Fight.

Oh yeah. Well, In that case, even if I did make jmf in english into a .nds fie, I probably also wouldnt be able to send it to you on here anyway. I'mma gonna see what @TurdPooCharger has to say. they know more about DKP than me, and I know this is for the DS, not the 3DS, but they should at least help you out with the installer crashing or something.

maybe you could temporarily add it to github until I download it, put it up on some other website for me to google separately, do some loophole crud like sending it as plain text in multiple sections, etc...

I'm sorry, but what is the context of this conversation between you and @Plasmaster09? I don't know anything about HaxxStation, and it's my first time hearing about this, so no help from me on this.

I read several posts back where someone mentioned shutterbug's discord channel got banned(?). What about this one?
What's this about Joy Mech Fight? Is someone trying to english patch this NES(?) game?

Conext: I made a thing that automates the process of making NDS files from NES games using nesds-singles.
Problem: It needs devkitpro to work, with or without my automation.
The installer errors out on Plasmaster09's (Windows 10 x64 PC, with 1 terabyte of space) computer. I thought that you could help with that. I even tried giving them a copy of my installation of dkp but with only the stuff for NDS development (along with the main stuff dkp needs to function, like Msys2) but even then the buld.bat I made didn't work.

Yeah... I'm going to sit this one out. Dev stuff is a can of worms I rather not jump into this moment.

My only advice when it comes to devkitARM is to use their Linux build preferably on Arch Linux or Manjaro ← (I recommend this for casual users. This coming from a anti-Linux person).

If this ongoing issue isn't resolved by next month (ie, March 7th, 2020), I (TurdPooCharger) grant notice to you (@jeffyTheHomebrewer) allowance to hit me up again. I got some TWiLight Menu++ bug hunting not looking forward to, so no can do atm. :|

Fricc. Oh well, I'll just run jmf through nes2ds myself and send it to plas.
thanks man (ur using the translated version right?)
I’ve seen a couple times where people got away with sending crud just by sending it encrypted or compressed as a 7z or rar but idk if that’s actually a thing we could do

    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    Speaking of which

    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
