Oh, the guide I wrote is about getting started with DS Homebrew. Information about Flash Carts and Passkeys and such. I'd like the guide to stay that way, and another one created as a directory for Homebrew apps themselves, if such a guide must be made.

Wii-Fan, make sure you add this link for DS Doom (the homepage: www.dsdoom.com/ ). It' all well and good to link to the files but people also need the instructions!



For people experiencing problems running homebrew, I suggest you ask the manufacturers of your card directly or through their forums about the specific problems you might be having, as not all flash cards are the same.

Failing that, there are multiple ways to run into problems with things now working. Usually its related to user error (make sure all the files that the homebrew developers say to place on your card are in the correct place!). Then there's other problems; depending on your card, it may not support DLDI auto-patching, in which case you need to patch certain homebrew games and applications for YOUR specific make of flash card in order to get them working. This is why most people buy R4DS's and CycloDSEvo's as they automatically patch DLDI.

Then there's problems which may relate to faulty Micro SD cards, but I'll save that for another day...

Good work Wii-Fan, I've been thinking about getting one of these homebrew-runner devices and having these links and a wee bit of a write-up in one place is handy.
Cheers Eruntalon, I was going for an R4 originally but it looks like CycloDS is the way to go.
Has anyone tried out the dslinux release? I'd be interested in checking that out, especially if it has a browser.
I'd rather put $90.00+ to something with flexibility (pda/media player/browser/home-brew games) than pay $70.00 for a browser-only.

Not that running homebrew, etc isn't difficult, a guide would be handy for newbie's with their flashcarts.

here is a great homebrew drawing app called "colors!".
"Colors! is a simplistic digital application for Nintendo DS based on modern painting-

techniques developed for drawing tablets in programs like Photoshop. By taking

advantage of the pressure sensitivity of the DS touch-screen it becomes a perfect

portable digital sketch-book."
heres the official site + download: www.collectingsmiles.com/
(BTY, it does need DLDI patching)

DarkStar Paint

DarkStar paint began as a simple touch screen draw program for the DS but evolved into a suite of programs:

Paint!
Just Press The Arrows Or Select And The Screens Swap So You Can Select Colours, Tools...etc



Minesweeper!
The Good old fashion game that we all know and love and it even lets you play on a board 5x the size of the DS screen



Two More games are available in the program which I will not go into detail with but it is one of the best homebrew applications going around and in my opinion the best painting program going around

Wanna Dive Into Homebrew, This Is A Great Start
