NDS Homebrew
Welcome to the Nintendo DS Homebrew website. Your resource for homebrew Nintendo DS ROMs and reviews. This site was put together to try to give the NDS community a single point for tracking new and updated homebrew ROMs for the NDS.
To run hombrew ROMs on your NDS, you will need a passthrough/NoPass device and a Slot-2 device such as a GBA Flash Cart, Firmware updated GBA Movie Player or SuperCard/M3/G6, OR a Slot-1 flash card/adapter and of course a Nintendo DS. Just make sure with the Slot-1 device you choose, that you research it's homebrew compatibility, as some work better than others. Also, make sure there is a DLDI driver for your device or that it auto DLDI patches!
If you are looking to get into developing on the NDS, check out This Page for a large amount of information.
Quick guide to running homebrew
NDS .extensions explained x2.
Installing FlashMe on DS-Lite and Original DS
WHY INSTALL FLASHME when you can run code strait from your slot-1 device? Well, FlashMe writes recovery code to the secure area of the firmware, which is why you have to short SL1 to install it. This secure area can not be changed without shorting SL1. So, in the event of malware trying to damage your DS firmware, you will have the ability to recover from it. If you don't have FlashMe installed and you run malware, be ready to send your DS in for repair, as there is no easy way to fix it. Now, newer DSs have a fully secured firmware (except for your settings) which require you to short SL1 to write the entire firmware. This prevents malware from destroying your DS. The worst it could do on these systems is mess up your personal settings. But, the problem is, you don't know if your DS has this feature. Sure, you might have purchased your DS yesterday, but how long was that DS sitting on the shelf? In the warehouse? On the dock? etc.

WiFi Devices on browser authenticated networks
Posted by Lynx on Monday, September 10 @ 09:35:19 MDT (8456 reads)
After a question was posted on the forums, I thought I would post a somewhat detailed "how to" for using WiFi devices that don't have the ability to authenticate using a web browser like some hotels or colleges require. Now, this may not work depending on how the network is configured to keep track of authentication. Most use the devices MAC address.
