I so plan on buying one. Honestly, I'm hoping they release a library for using the onboard CPU and RAM. It would ease up on emulation a bit, allowing better Genesis and SNES emulation, we could use it for typical applications to allow better file cache, and all sorts of other things. Actually, because of this hardware, I can see how Soft Reset can work with homebrew.
I'm going to say it flat out, kudos to these guys on not incorporating a ROM loader. They said they wouldn't do it to avoid legal issues with Nintendo and I have to agree with them. This makes it easier for this to hit retail shelves. If someone does make a ROM loader for this, I will likely track them down and destroy them and the source. It's that simple. Everyone who is reading this thread, realize that if a ROM loader is released, it will not be from the iPlayer team themselves.

What is the homebrew format ?If it's .nds , you can run NDS Rom , be we can't start NDS rom normally , right ?
But if we can't launch NDS rom because the format is too heavy , you can launch the homebrew "Y'S Menu"and with you can start NDS rom !So ...we can lauch nds rom !
PS : if my english suck , it's because i'm french !
1) It won't launch ROMs natively.
2) YSMenu doesn't have its own loader, it is entirely dependent on the loader available in the flash card's firmware. As long as this doesn't load ROMs, YSMenu won't be able to do much of anything.

sounds like the Datel Games n' Music all over again, but with good video playback this time.
Don't forget, this will play music in better quality (GnM had bass issues) and will have auto DLDI patching, and probably better Homebrew compatibility at that.
