Flash Carts Are The Portal To The DS Homebrew World

There's some cool software and exploits that were during the 3ds era, gbarunner is one of those: it's an hypervisor, translating the arm7 instructions into arm9. Not very accurate but it works.
Among the exploits are the (really old) firmware mods, the DS download play hack thing and NDS bootstrap using the extra ram thing.
I mean it's just for the coolness factor, just get a DSi if you care about pixel perfect or a 3DS if you don't, and you won't need a flashcard.

Ok there's actually something from the time that I used with my first R4: MOONSHELL.
IT BROUGHT SOME MULTIMEDIA CAPABILITIES OF THE PSP TO THE 3DS.
Could play videos in theory, and sure as hell could play mp3.
THE DSI MUSIC PLAYER ONLY USED M4A. I ONLY HAD A STUPID SONG FROM FABRI FIBRA SENT ME VIA BLUETOOTH ON A FEATURE PHONE, because no internet, no computer and no converters.
Really wtf

Pirating Nintendo games is always morally correct

Can anyone help me?
When i buy a memory card do u need to do sum with ur DS too? Or do u just plug it in?

I love how old the ds is and how smoothly it still runs.

You should look into DSi modding. It lets you do all of this and way more with just an SD card.

Did you seriously call the pole walker a forgettable accessorie like c'mon bro those still sell for hundreds online

Theres a pretty easy way to get around the time bomb on r4 cards. ypu fujust gotta get rid of the software that comes with the card from what ik

like I dont care abt to pirate game like nintendo doesnt make money anymore with the ds/dsi/3ds/2ds

TFW the DS is the same age as Leonardo DiCaprio's GF

Wait, there are people who have an issue with downloading roms and emulating older games? I choose to not pirate current gen games but everything else is fair game

Fun fact: if you look at 8:25, look at one of the names that appears on the ROMhack makers! ????
You are welcome, in advance.

What interesting to me about this is. I completely forgot I had some expirence with home brew.. prior to this video I was looking into this community more and more because I find it interesting from both a gamer and tech nerd perspective. I was thinking to myself that I should do this to my Xbox 360 which will be a fun project. And then I saw this and I remember when I was younger. I had a ds lite in red and one day my godfather found out I had it. So the next trip he took to the state he got me the r4 card and loaded a bunch of game to it. I often credit the ps2 for my love of gaming but thinking about it. It all started with a ds lite and a r4 card. Crazy nostalgic trip

Btw, for the DSi, you can softmod the console so you don't need a flashcart, just an SD card with the right files and all your game cart backups.

I just brought one today its fuckin trash all ds games are boring

I put a ds emulator on my switch and tried to play sonic colors from my childhood..

I promptly went back to playing it on my 3ds, fuck that 2 screens on one BS

I’m looking for a great flash cart that doesn’t have a “time bomb” (which Ik is extremely hard), but I’d really love to play some old DS game, and mess around some other hacks and rims I didn’t get to as a kid.

i remember playing ds lite,and when i buy the console it is sell flash cart (i don't know that was flash cart until right now) game,i remember the flash card is from edge

hahaha right now ds was legal adult age (18 years)

what is the name of the pokemon rom hack you showed at 8:09? great video btw

Damn i don't know why download Ds doesnt work on my flashcart. Probably cause it's a fake one

I got a flash card on amazon, federal crimes already pre committed lol

My dad got us R4i cards back in the day when he had read some news about rampant piracy and the devices used to allow it. Obviously he very quickly got us some.
I played so many games I never would have because of that lol.
He also did movie encodes of like, cloudy with a chance of meatballs and what not so we could watch it on our DSes.
Wonderful man he was.

gbarunner2 is not an emulator. It is a hypervisor accessing the actual Game Boy advance hardware on the console. Fun fact; It is the only way you can play GBA games on a DSi, which still features the hardware but no slot. 3DS has its own separate mode for GBA which the homebrew community has already fully(ish) optimized

It's always morally correct to plunder and sail across the vast sea of DS roms

The timebomb carts (at least the ones shown as examples in the video) can install a replacement kernel/frontend called YSMenu that removes the timebomb (which is just a software 'feature', not a hardware one). Once you've done that, they're perfectly serviceable cards that work as well as any other.

Plants versus Zombies on Nintendo DS it's weird and also sort of fitting that there's a port of Plants versus Zombies on DS and I own this game of Plants versus Zombies

I love your attitude about about “arggg!!” games. I’ll sail the seven seas and walk the plank before you catch me buying games older than most pirate’s parrots! ????????

Here’s to a LIKE well deserved!

happy 18th ds i think

Ther is SD card inside SD card

Something Something yar har har
Am I cool yet

I have an M3 Real and a Gateway Blue. The M3 sucks but the Gateway works pretty well.

what i wanna know is, can these third party apps and community games also be played on emulators like desmume? or are they unsupported file formats?

For me; it's my 2008 R4 with Wood to play all my totally "owned" DS digital copies of an unsupported system that I got instead of paying a glorified scammer online.

IIRC Black & White 2 has the same type of catridge.

Can you please make homedate buts Homebrew your playdate

I modded one NDSi because R4 didnt work apparently. But Twilight Menu is excellent

Its almost 2023 & I wanna homebrew a 3ds because quite frankly fuckit why not
Who wouldn't want a pretty gaming brick that can also be hacked to play DOOM?

Xd

What? The DS has PERFECT controls for 3D games, at least for FPS. Metroid Prime Hunters is the closest you can get to mouse controls on a console – yes, even to this day. It naturally blows the garbage dual analogue controls we've been using as an excuse for FPS controls for the past 20 years out of the water completely, but I even prefer it over Splatoon motion aiming, it's that good.

I get the joke about picking a random translated game, but Super Robot Wars W was a great one to have shouted out.

i grew up with a 3ds but I have used a normal ds once or twice

Holy shit nitrotracker on the DS brings me back to my DS homebrew days. The app DSOrganize had a built in IRC client and that's where I made many friends I still have to this day.

3ds next. The most feature rich homebrew device

They have the better wii homebrew game ever, supertux wii edition :pog:

Ah yes old spice deodorant every middle schooler had a stick of this have a sub
