Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

[Damin72]

Some test with replaced arm9.bin:
Sonic Rush - "Cant read game data" error.
Orcs and Elves, Castlevania DoS - Black Screen
Solatorobo, Ace Attorney 3 - white screens.

So...i used the TWLoader and the .nds file that was a few pages ago. And when i select a ROM my 3DS Powers off...what i did wrong?

are you using luma3ds? If yes, your twl might be the patched one, and it will turn off the 3ds automatically.
Try installing a clean twlfirm.

 

[PRAGMA]

Dude, calm down. My idea it was to testing out some games to help out. So you don't need to react like that.

lol no worries, just was bored, was in school

 

[KytuzuEX]

If I knew this earlier before I bought a 10$ R4i...

So far, I'm liking the progress!

Thank you buddy
EDIT: Quick question and i don't bother you guys more...I install the clean one and then instal everything over again?

 

[GhostLatte]

why do some ds roms work when alot don't

Do you know what the term "not ready" means? I guess not

 

[internetakias]

Repacked Bomberman with a decompiled binary doesn't work , and I'm using the precompiled bootstrap posted here and twloader.

you don't have to, just install the twlfirm.

Maybe some but I'm confidentthat even the cheapest R4 clone will still perform better than nds-bootstrap even when all the work is done.

 

[sniper_x002]

i'm using NDS HB Menu to open bootstrap. After you open the NDS HB menu you need to press select once, then a message "ARM9 cpu booted" will appears. Then you can test rooms. At the moment only bomberman worked for me.

I was able to do everything you wrote, but I guess I still decompressed the rom wrong because I still get white screens.

for me sometimes bomberman giver white screen with this method but eventually works

Maybe it's worth trying multiple roms, multiple times then..

 

[hacksn5s4]

in the video the guy boots the bootstrap how do i boot the bootstrap and make it boot a game like he did im doing it the other way where you replace the bootstrap file in _nds

i wonder why the dsi has no cfw if you could hack that you could do this

 

[metroid maniac]

Extremely small attack surface. You must exploit the bootloader or the home menu and little else to have CFW.

To be honest, there is no need to test anything, this isn't even an official release neither a pre release. Yea sure a few games could work but why not wait until it's more stable?
And if despite that you still want to test stuff, you should try games that were released in 2004-2005. As far as I've seen all games that work are from the early days of DS so..

PS: Just ignore THE troll, you all know how is him.

Edit: I've just checked the exact date

 

[MushGuy]

Just stop. Let the damn guy post his shit just ignore his annoying ass.
I'm sick of thinking someone important is posting just chill guys.

Just report him already. Better to prevent stupidity than let it spread from this guy.

sonic rush will probs lag very bad with this i heard some one used a slow sd card in there flash card and the game has alot of card reads when your playing thew the courses ive heard this way of loading roms is 4 times slower then a flash card read speed

Dude, punctuation marks exist for a reason. Not that it makes you look smart with what you're writing anyway.

 

[JimmyZ]

Stretched = Pixelated
Get your facts right

No it's not.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

What do you think happens with a normal ds cartridge? It's not big enough to make a difference.

DS game on 3DS:
stretched to full screen -> blurry
or you can hold select or start on start -> not stretched -> with black border
so I prefer DS game on DS, what's so hard to comprehend?
