BOOM! DOCTA WATSON posted:Is there a way, using a CycloDS and 3-in-1 Plus, to transfer a DS save on the Slot 1 cart to its corresponding retail cart? Eepinator can do this. Put the file on your flash cart, run eepinator, select 'File > DS Cart' and pick the save file. Then swap the cart out for the retail one and press A to replace the save. You won't even need the 3-in-1.

That Article posted:Until recently, it wasn't possible for the common user to dump their own game collection for use with a Nintendo DS flash cart; they were forced to obtain their ROM images from shady sources - enouraging piracy and spreading bad images and even malware that can harm your DS.  There were only two pieces of "malware" ever released for DS, one of them was never supposed to be public, and all virus scanners should catch them now. Also, that was four years ago; there hasn't been another (at least not a widely publicized one, which one would expect it to be) since.

Darth l33t posted:Virus scanners check for malicious DS code? Only the two known ones. Trojan.DSBrick.A and Trojan.DSBrick.B. As for "anonymous backups", if any one of them contained malicious code, you can be sure there would be a massive uproar, and a contaminated one wouldn't even reach the masses, or it at least wouldn't be available for very long.

I just discovered the internet radio abilities of the DSOrganize application and it's amazing (I can finally take the random LoveLine stream with me around the house), but is there any app which lets me browse and download shoutcast stations similar to the DSOrganize's own homebrew database browser?

The L button my THIRD loving DS just died on me. It's been partially responsive for the past few days, but today it just doesn't work anymore. Can I open up the DS and play around with anything to make it work, or am I hosed to spending another $150 on a new DS (the warranty is expired)? I've spent $450 on DS units since the classic fat grey, I don't want to spend any more on this poo poo hardware that keeps breaking from semi casual use.

You should go complain to Nintendo seeing as how it's the third time it has happened. I mean it would be one thing if it was the occasional once or twice but from the sounds of things you are really having bad luck with them. I don't think there's ever been a time where I had serious problems with my phat's triggers. Failing that you can always just hock it somewhere and buy a DSi. I wouldn't recommend opening up the unit yourself because I trawled eBay looking for a broken DS to open up for SCIENCE and not only were prices a bit more than I was willing to pay, but I kept running into many auctions where people listed things like, "... I tried to replace the case and now it doesn't work..." "I opened it up and the power switch broke..." "I tried replacing the touchscreen and now it doesn't boot up..." so yeah.

gently caress me, great timing with Pokemon Platinum coming out soon. I can probably deal without an L button, I guess, but just knowing it doesn't work will bug the poo poo out of me. I wouldn't really even need it in Pokemon, but it makes Nethack and other hombrew unusable. And to think I actively tried to use the shoulder buttons as little as possible, too, just knowing this would happen...

Shoulder buttons don't typically fail due to wear and tear, but actually due to dirt buildup. Sometimes just spraying compressed air into the shoulder button works, but if not you may want to try removing and cleaning the button.

The usual problem is that the connector registering the button presses gets dirty. What I do is open the DS, take out the little gray "button" inside which the L/R button is pressing against, and then use some mechanical spray on the socket to clean things up. nftyw posted:I wouldn't recommend opening up the unit yourself because I trawled eBay looking for a broken DS to open up for SCIENCE and not only were prices a bit more than I was willing to pay, but I kept running into many auctions where people listed things like, "...

Yeah, I had the same problem and all I did was lift the button gently, blow in it very hard, and it has worked for a year with no problems since then. Compressed air would be cooler, but I always waste it like a retard when I have it.

This is a great thread, and it moved me to the decision to buy myself a DS at long last. At the moment, I am borrowing a friend's fatty while I wait for the inevitable price drop on the DSlite that the DSi will surely bring. I bought the DSTT from DealExtreme. I loaded onto it the TTmenu and the Moonshl stuff, as per instructions. It gets to the cute loading screen:  And stays there. I never even get to see the menu. I'm using a 1gb card. (When I tried using an 8gb card, the DS would not recognise the DSTT at all.) I researched for hours, watched an innumerable number of poorly-made videos, reformatted, reloaded, tried different combinations of things loaded on, including only the TTmenu, and tried an older version of the kernel. I sobbed, ate chocolate, threw things, and played with kittens. I even tried sleeping, all to no avail. I also read the first page and the last five pages of this thread. (I wish they'd fix search. It's been almost two years now, that search has been disabled on the SA forums.) If anyone has a clue they don't need anymore, could I have it please?

It's an indie kernel that is compatible with lots of different cards. I have the DSTT from Dealextreme and YSMENU works perfectly. Go to the author's site and look half way down the page for "DS(T_T)DS". The link to download is just below that. Hopefully you don't have a bad card.

I almost wish that you hadn't read first few pages so I had some advice to offer you. Is it just moonshell that freezes, or other files as well? If your model of DSTT is SDHC compatible (in fact, even if it isn't), the card shouldn't have anything to do with whether the DS reads the DSTT or not. With my cyclo, if the card is taken out or seated wrong, the DS will allow me to load the cyclo which then informs me that there is no memory card inserted. I may be wrong, but I would assume that the DSTT has something similar. Edit: Yeah, try YSmenu, I've heard great things about it.

I keep 'em clean and in working order. Short of performing surgery, there doesn't appear to be anything I can do to fix this sucker. It turns out my warranty is still active according to Nintendo's support department, completely defying the warranty information in my account info. v  v Can't argue with that. Looks like Pokemon Platinum will grace the screen of my fat rear end behemoth DS until this one gets back from rehab. VV Two links in there, folks. Haha, those penguin emoticons own so hard.

I had not tried it yet. I've seen the page, but for some reason, the page is filled with gibberish characters for me, so I never located the link til you directed me what to look for. Thanks! I apologise for my stupidity, but when I look in the readme, I see these instructions: quote:* Install What does TF stand for? I figured out to extract TTMENU.DAT from the official download and paste it into the same folder as the extracted YS stuff, and it seemed happy enough with that when I ran ttextract.exe, but I am unclear what to paste where after that. Is it presuming I already have the TTmenu stuff loaded onto the card?

I ordered my DSTT about fourteen days ago from DealExtreme and I got it yesterday. I'm not used to international shipping in Australia being so quick  SunDog, you don't have all the files you need on there. Once I either die or get too frustrated with this NetHack dungeon I'll put exactly what you need in your root menu to get it to work; you're missing the actual TTMenu folder that has all the stuff inside needed to run, and you only need one file (TTMenu.dat) in the actual root directory.
