From what I saw rotation was a bit buggy anyways. It always has parts of the screen displayed twice.
Also I find it interesting that you can't disable the spacing berween the screens: Writing 0 to the register just makes the bottom screen disappear. 0xFF didn't help either. Also @

Posted by RicBent Made a quick mod to https://nsmbhd.net/file/VlyKSj5v1hlccZlg/NitroVideoConfigurator.zip  Basically let's you do exactly what the official software let's you do with a non video unit plus a few more things. Edit: I wonder if there is a way to force button inputs. Would make it way cooler to play games... Nice! I asked Gericom if he'd do something like this a a few days ago. _________________________ https://discord.gg/KhETqr7 |

Also @ Rotation works right if the proper settings are used. I can look them up for you later. Also yeah, that's strange. |

Well, my tool to dump firmware and bios to RAM is ready: nitroFwDumper.nds
(It's based on this: https://github.com/WinterMute/fwTool) Havn't found a way to execute it yet because I have no idea how to encrypt the rom. "ndstool -se" complains about the rom not having a secure area. _________________________ GitHub - Kuribo64 - YouTube |

Homebrew roms should just work as is, you don't need to encrypt/decrypt them. (they don't "have" a secure area, they just don't use the stuff at 0x02000000-0x02000800. I've run homebrew roms with no problem
Does it not work? |

Thanks for that software to re-enable video. Just want to leave this here in case anyone wants to play retail GBA carts on their Nitro. It's a little bootleg but at least it works.
But basically, all you have to do is connect your dev kit, power on the GBA pak, then go to tools > game banner which forces the DS to boot into the firmware/home menu and you can boot your GBA carts from there. What I'm curious about is, can you turn on GBA power via software like the video configurator. Otherwise I was thinking about maybe modifying the pcb itself to trigger the relay manually.

Brilliant find! I hope it gets sold to a homebrew developer and maybe we'll see the DS Homebrew scene make a comeback

Posted by Jamie Brilliant find! I hope it gets sold to a homebrew developer and maybe we'll see the DS Homebrew scene make a comeback To be honest, I doubt that. I don't think it would really help it make a comeback if I must be honest, and it would take more than 1 person to do it. How do I know this? I'm aware of 3 homebrew developers with one in their possession. Daribo, Gericom, and myself. I've helped worke on a homebrew game (Paper DS), and ROM hacks (GCGP, and EKDS) with mine along with others, and so has Gericom. Although most of the big ones haven't really gone anywhere yet, or they've been scrapped. Plus, I'm not sure why Daribo would sell his, when he's making stuff for it, as he said in a previous post, like that Linux Library, for example. Clearly he plans to, or already has made use of it in the name of research, or what have you. These things aren't really magic, and you don't need them to make homebrew games with the Nintendo SDK, either. They more or less are just a fast way of testing a game on real hardware, and make it easier to find bugs/glitches, and figure out why a crash happens, for example. If you aren't super dedicated, or a collector of some kind, these machines are practically worthless to anyone else, if I must be completely honest. _________________________ https://discord.gg/KhETqr7 |
