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!

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.

Why is flintstones called "7 grand dad?"

It's a bootleg version of it that became a meme.

Why is flintstones called "7 grand dad?"

It's an infamous bootlegged version of Flintstones for NES: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/7-grand-dad

Well i been out of the homebrew loop for NDS for so long, is there any way to load homebrew from DSI using sd slot? Last i heard was sudokuhax which i never had.

AFAIK there is no way to exploit the dsi without a lower FW and specific DSi titles installed. So if you don't have both of those you are SOL. I wish there was a way because I have an old DSi I don't use at all that I would love to mup about with.

@shutterbug2000 and @Robz8 do have an exploitable dsiware game afaik, but decided to release this instead.

I'm sorry to ask, but I'm still confused of how to get this running. I ran dspatch.exe, and i got this. I have already downloaded "Download Station Volume 1".

Try this .cmd file.
Name your "Download Station Volume 1" ROM "DStation.nds". Drag and drop your homebrew .nds file onto the .cmd file.

Got it, thank you. Sorry again for the confusion, I'm just really tired aha.

Edit: How would i used the DSi versions? the same thing?

 

[The Catboy]

can we run backup loaders? does it work with dsi?

I would like to mention that the DS on has 4MB of onboard RAM. So an actual full game won't be possible to run from RAM like a small download play game/homebrew

 

[incidentallyscribble]

@shutterbug2000 hey! What did you use to get the 7 grand dad nds file specifically on the ds? Is there a ton somewhere on the web or was it custom-made?
Edit: not asking for anything ToS violating, but if you used a program to make it I would like to know the program. If not, I'm sure google is my friend

 

[THECIA]

pls give clear instructions on how to make this work on a dsi

 

[Deleted User]

Better late than never, right?

 

[einhuman197]

Nvm

 

[RocketRobz]

Wait can we run homebrew in dsi mode with this? Does it mean another way to install boot9strap and can we dump the dsi cid with this to Decrypt nand?

Nope. All this runs in DS mode.

 

[BARNWEY]

This is really cool!

 

[fmhugo]

Hypothetically, possible install dsiware titles on dsi ?

 

[Thunder Hawk]

No. Apparently the actual dsiware exploit went up in smoke with no explanation.
