This seems to be a good month for homebrew. Negative Space v2.0  http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123470 quote:Negative Space is a homebrew puzzle game for the GBA that MIA has recently ported to the NDS, based on the concept of negative space. With this port comes a few updates, see below.  ----- FAAngbandDS v2.50  http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123462 quote:FAAngband has been recently improved and released for the NDS thanks to the efforts of Michael Smith. This game itself is based on the Angband dungeon-crawling roguelike computer game. ----- StarquakeDS  http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123456 quote:StarquakeDS is a remake of the ZX Spectrum classic by Stephen Crow from Bubblebus Software (1985). You take control of BLOB (Bio-Logically Operated Being) and work to repair the planet's core. looks like it could be an interesting puzzle/platformer ----- Qub3DS v1.0  http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123072 quote:Qub3DS is a Nintendo DS port of Qub3D, a tetris like mini-game from Grand Theft Auto IV. It uses only one screen, no touch screen input, it's controlled simply by D-Pad, A and Start. If you weren't playing the original Qub3D game you'll have to learn intuitively those non standard game rules. FYI I'm literally just copying and pasting the more interesting stuff from the gbatemp frontpage (omitting things like the four hundredth homebrew Pong clone) so check there too!!

Anyone use the DS for ebook reading? I was thinking of getting an ebook reader for all of my .txt novels that I normally read on the computer, but if the DS does it well I'll get a cyclo instead and save myself $500 bucks. I found dslibris but it only does xhtml files, are there other book readers that do a bunch of other file types out there?

Check out DS ReadmoreAlpha (I'm pretty sure it's linked on the first page.) It's my reader of choice. It'll read your .txt files and gives you bookmarks for each book read. It's pretty bare, and hasn't seen anyupdating in quite some time, but it's my reader of choice.

It has a few errors though - or at least mine does - with deleting or replacing letters at random intervals. Can't really explain it.

The the available applications are decent, not great. ReadMore is alright, but I don't think you can hold the DS sideways to read, and I could never get the drat bookmarks to work. I might be remembering incorrectly, but I think the font wasn't changeable and it hurt my eyes a bit. DSLibris is pretty sparse, but the bookmarks work well and you can just use a free converter to get xhtml files. Fonts can be changed on the fly, too. I think the creator's blog has some useful info about the program in general: basic info, how to prepare books for the reader. edit: forgot to say that as far as I know, those two only support really basic filetypes like .txt and .xhtml. I don't think anything supports .lit and absolutely nothing supports .pdf unfortunately. delirious pancake fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Dec 21, 2008 |

http://nintendo-ds.dcemu.co.uk/xrickds-version-2-1-176681.html They updated the Rick Dangerous port. Hurrah!! btw, that site should be in all your bookmarks, it's basically awesome. Other news is that someone is doing a Smash Bros. for DS, although right now it seems to be more of a tech demo. It's downloadable on dcemu as well.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get Warcraft TD to work on my R4. I've patched for DLDI and everything, but when I start it up, it says "initializing FAT/EFS, please wait" and just freezes there. Anyone know what's up?

Perhaps you patched it with the wrong flashcart option?

Try not patching it. The R4 should auto-patch DLDI. If that fails, format your memory card.

Anyone try the R4 revolution? I have the option to get one fairly cheaply and it supposedly has fixed the old spring problems I've heard friends whine about. (I don't own any homebrew things for my DS, just games that I'm hoping to be able to more easily store without constantly switching carts)

Besides, the CycloDS is basically the new standard. I would probably pay the extra bucks for that.

As someone who knew exactly NOTHING about flash carts up until I ordered one that arrived a few days ago, I would recommend the CycloDS. The hardware doesn't feel like some cheap piece of bootlegging poo poo and is actually nicely polished. The menu is simple and leaves little to be desired from a casual user. Loading ROMs is incredibly simple and I figured out how to do so 5 minutes out of the box without instructions.

Just so I don't order the wrong thing, this is the correct homebrew tool thingy? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17844 I'd go for the "goon choice" but I'm not sure the extra benefits it brings are worth the extra £30 or so.

Does anyone elses DS just goto a black screen when they try to run faangband DS? Powder is great enough to suffice for now but Nethack DS was terrible. I hate games with absolutely no hand in picking benefits for leveling up. I wish Dwarf Fortress wasn't so goddamn CPU intensive so there could be a DS fort someday but it'll never happen.

For $5-10 you get what you pay for. There are tons of fake carts out there, even for the bottom of the barrel stuff. Cyclo is the best, and worth the price.
