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.

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.

If I may:

plus the error windows disappear too fast to screenshot anyway

Usually when this happens, it's because you're trying to run a .bat file or a command-line utility from Windows Explorer instead of from the command line. You might be able to see the error if you run whatever this is from the command line instead.

The fast way is to shift-right-click a folder in Windows Explorer and select "Open command window here".

Well, I also use reddit. Whats your u/? Also, for whatever reason, I cant seem to get JMF to work in nesds. I've tried building it using my own Build To Scale.bat (the name is a Rhythm Heaven Reference) and opening Msys2 and manually making it. (Msys2 acts like a linux terminal, so that means drive letters are in lowercase, and instead of \ between folders, it would be a /, like a URL, so for example, C:\Windows would be c:/Windows) but I did make a custom icon for it, with the pnk fighter giving two thumbs up! I'll attach the icon. (The brown shows up transparent in the DSDL Client)

Well thing is is that when I run the .bat from explorer it works fine for me.

What I'm saying is that when you're running whatever this other thing is, you're getting an error that disappears too quickly to see. That's why I'm staying you might be able to see it if you run it from the command line instead.

u/Sans_Reddittale. I figured it was a Rhythm Heaven reference- I played the DS one just a few days ago via twlmenu++!
also... that moment when joy mech fight is so good a game it borks anything trying to convert it

Well what plas was running was the .bat which only errors out if devkitpro isn't installed, and weve already tried getting DKP onto his PC.

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

okay so joy mech fight just straight up wont work idk why but it just dont im sorry i tried my best

Edit: Actually, since @Robz8 made NesDS (and NesDS Singles) maybe he can help?

I didn't make nesDS. @Coto did.

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

I didn't make nesDS. @Coto did.

Oh. My bad! thanks for correcting me, though! the more you know!
Hopefully someone can figure out why Joy Mech Fight isn't working, since when I open the resulting .nds (Using my flashcart) there's just a bunch of numbers on the bottom screen which change when I press the R button. I assume it's Debug info, but idk tbh

Yeah that’s what happened to me too before I installed the devkitpro stuff
At least that made SOMETHING

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Yeah. Well, @Coto should know how to get it to work.

 

[Plasmaster09]

Yeah. Well, @Coto should know how to get it to work.

eh *shrug* at this point I’m just thinking about not bothering since the only reason I’d do it is to send it thru haxxstation, and idk if I care anymore about that
besides I have NesDS on twlmenu

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Aight. If I find a way to get it to work, ill send you the rom

 

[Coto]

Err... I can't take credit for NesDS!! because I just made NIFI to work again in newer devkitARM, IIRC loopy was the main coder (and other devs). The only thing I made 100% was ToolchainGenericDS API and projects derived from it, besides some DS emulation stuff

 

[BatIron]

That can use to put Homebrew in a 3DS?

Then who made it?

NO!

I don't even know what this is referring to (the syntax is borked) but that is NOT how that works.

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Thanks, I forgot to read the whole thing, haha.

Nevermind, thought you meant the icon that would show up under Download Play (ie changing the HaxxStation icon and title).

How do I change the icon that appears on the DS Download Play menu?

I don't think you can. At least not easly.
