touch DS ? .hack//DS ! I was the first to run homebrew code on DS, but it's good to see other people making little demo's already. I guess... Click my banner and support unlocking the DS mysteries completely. ;P Or better yet, make an investment to cover my expenses or providing new research material. Many thanks to the people that already have sent something! Currently, I am looking at the GBA movie players and add CompactFlash reading support to firmware/ndslib. Mail address info here. Please pay $1 commission for each sold PassMe that uses my sourcecode :) I can make a customized version on request. Or just wait for new ideas to come true... :) games - PassMe2 information and files. passme.vhd - VHDL code for PassMe. passme.ucf - UCF code for PassMe. passme.jed - JEDEC file for PassMe. For use with Impact. passme.svf - STAPL file for PassMe. For use with any JTAG programmer. p455m3.png - 03/14 - P455M3... I made this variation on Natrium42's original PassMe layout because I like 45 degree-rotated chips. p455m3.zip - 03/14 - P455M3 Eagle sch+pcb. You can build it yourself or order at Natrium42's site. Natrium42's PassMe and some other red PassMe red PassMe put into spare Metroid cartridge hackds.zip - old code for my FPGA pass-through and dumper. Note that none of this works out of the box without my hardware. metroid.jpg - the first homebrew code simply patches some text in Metroid hack_ds-df.avi - the video of Metroid with patched text - SL1 contacts to enable writing to first 512 Bytes or 64 kBytes (depending of chip type) of firmware. The update will put in a safety mechanism to boot from GBA cartridge so you can always restore the rest of the firmware. cartridge.txt - The cartridge pin-out with information nds-release-open12_13.jpg - cartridge PCB with guessed hidden traces dstap.png - design for tapping cartridge transfers. GB connector with FPGA.jpg - one cartridge connector... I haven't received a 2nd GB connector yet :( piece of PCB.jpg - an etched piece of PCB that was used to create the dummy cartridge pass-through.jpg - Running metroid using an FPGA pass-through. more hacking.jpg - To gain easier access to the PCB, the battery is replaced with a goldcap so the back of the case is not needed anymore. The bottom screen does not need to be connected as long the backlight contacts are bridged by a resistor (6K8 or so). The FPGA can control the RST signal to make the DS reset automatically upon crashes. Currently, it can also emulate the RTC so it can generate random numbers. Also, there is a GBA cartridge emulator that provides a small startup program and communications to the PC.

CompactFlash adapter Homebrew CompactFlash adapter. Slightly compatible with GBA Movie Player. Such a wiremess... but it works :) Note that I reversed the refurbished connector. CF schematic.png - Schematic. cfds.zip - Schematic and preliminary board layout in Eagle format.

Logo's When loading an NDS program over WiFi using the "DS download play" option, you'll get to see a small logo. This logo is a black/white picture of 104x16 pixels. I figured out the compression of this logo and added support to ndstool. It's pretty useless but cool :) When creating own logo's, please keep in mind that not all images are suitable because of limited compressed size! The logo's listed here are verified already.
