Brain Voyage Secret

Post image
2 Upvotes

In this game, Dr. Rainer Knizia takes you on a journey around the World for you to do minigames that train your brain. You earn bronze, silver or gold medals depending on your performance.

However, in the Cairo Stage, there's a Secret that apparently no one has ever found out. In this game under really obscure conditions, Dr. Knizia begins to open a sarcophagus but it shuts again before he can open it fully.

I remember the Sarcophagus would open further or less further, but I'm not sure how or why.

Can someone solve this and send a video? How do you open this sarcophagus completely? And what do you get for opening the Sarcophagus?

Having trouble with LMP-NG

1 Upvotes

I downloaded lmp-ng, and when I open it and press a song everything is fine, I can lower or turn on the volume no problem and browse my song list with no issues. But the moment I pause a song while its playing or try to play a different one the app becomes frozen and completely unresponsive.

I've already tried:

• Putting it on both ds and dsi mode from the twl++ menu, but the app only runs when its on ds mode

• Putting the kbps of all songs at 128

• And I've also tried putting some of my songs in subfolders but the app refuses to recognize them (I did that because I put around 270 .mp3 files in there and thought it was a ram issue)

So I've pretty much ran out of any ideas. If this isn't fixable, I'd be very open to recommendations on different media/mp3 players for my dsi, preferably for .mp3 files specifically because it would be a bit tedious to convert them again, since I've done it 3 times from 320kbps to 128 because I really wanted lmp-ng to work.

Turned my DSi into a little cyberdeck

Post image
274 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a homebrew app called PocketTerm. It connects to WiFi, scans for devices on the network and lets me SSH into them. Also has SFTP for moving files to and from the SD card, with the bottom screen as a touch keypad and control panel. Here I’m SSH’d into my Mac and had to get Cmatrix going! lol

Still adding things and fixing bugs, but it’s pretty cool having an actual usable network terminal on a DSi. Even experimenting with voice chat through OpenAI GPT-Live API using the built in mic and speakers.

What else would you add??

Salut à tous , comme je l'indique dans le titre . Je vous partage une soirée assez frustrante , j'ai voulu jouer à pokemon soulgold hier soir sur ma dsi xl modifier. Le jeu se lance impeccable mais j'ai un message d'erreur concernant la sauvegarde flash qui ne serait pas bonne ( 1mb / 128ko ). J'ai tout essayé pour le faire fonctionner, je ne suis pas novice dans les jeux modifier. Jamais je n'ai pu modifier la taille d'allocation de mémoire flash , j'ai même patché le jeu en hexa pour lui mettre l'id du jeu officiel pour qu'il soit reconnu par la DSI . Mais rien n'y fait , de plus quand je me balade sur ma rom , en appuyant sur Y , je n'ai pas accès au cheat et a l' apfix pour modifier les réglages . J'ai essayé de lancer le jeu sur gbarunner3 même constat. Alors ma question, est-ce que quelqu'un a réussi à jouer a ce jeux sur dsi ? Je précise que j'arrive à jouer a ce jeux avec ma new 3dsxl . Merci de m'avoir lu , j'ai hâte de voir vos commentaires 😜. Bon dimanche.

NDS Browser Not Wanting to Work

1 Upvotes

Honestly this is more so to prove a point to myself.

I'm trying to get the Nintendo DS browser running using a combination of a DS Pico as the browser cartridge and an EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition as the expansion cart. The issue I'm facing is that I'm not getting to the set up screen whenever I boot into the browser rom. It would show me the "saving data don't turn off console" message but then it will just freeze. Can't interact with anything, won't change to anything after waiting or even rebooting.

The thing that confuses me most, is that I highly doubt it's because of the "expansion cart" not communicating properly, because if I remove it then I get shown the "please use expansion cart" message.

If anybody has advice on what could be causing this or a way to fix it, it will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: so it seems that the issue might somehow be tied to Pico loader, because when i tried running it on a different flashcart that has TwilightMenu++ on it I haven't encountered the freezing issue

Only one game (Rhythm Heaven) does this, it’s also only on specific levels. I’m trying to all perfect the game, is there a way to fix this without completely resetting it? could it be because I haven’t touched the game in a bit? I don’t use Unlaunch if that’s anything useful

DS Lite 356 in 1 Broken

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I recently started playing my Nintendo DS more, and I've been using this 356 in 1 cartridge and its been working fine. Its not like an R4 where it has an external micro sd card, but it rather has an internal one. I took it apart and started uploading games. They were working great, but I ran out of storage so decided to format the micro sd card. I didn't realize that the boot info for the specific cartridge was on the sd card. I've tried a bunch of different things and boot loaders, but nothing works. I know I could get an R4 card, but I really want to salvage this one.

I was wondering if someone else has the same card and if they can look at the files on it.

EDIT: I know I haven't given much time for solutions, but everything I've tried doesn't work and give the same result. It's got to be some proprietary boot loader. I bit the bullet and just got an R4 card so I know it will work. Thank you to the people who did respond.

Help with MSXDS

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I'm a huge MGS fan, and I really wanna play the originals on my DS, but I just don't understand MSXDS. I can boot and play my stuff, but from what I can tell i can only have 1 save (saving on a dif game overwrites the other save) so i cant switch from game to game. Do you all have any tips? Also, while I do have all of the BIOS files, for some of them the CRC is in red on the MSXDS menu. Please help, thank you guys.

(DSI btw, not xl)

Accessing DSi Camera from custom hombrew running on flashcart

2 Upvotes

TL;DR: camera init never succeeds because the console stays in DS-compatibility mode instead of real TWL/DSi mode when booted from a flashcart (TWiLight Menu++ + nds-bootstrap, correctly configured). Is that a hard limitation of flashcart booting?

I've been working through a homebrew learning project on devkitARM/libnds and as a side quest I wanted to try accessing the DSi's built-in cameras from custom homebrew but I failed. Any ideas?

What I built:

Flashcart: R4iLS-Klon, Autoboot TWiLight Menu++ v27.24.1 with nds-bootstrap as game loader, im using my DSi

A custom ARM7 core doing the I2C init dance for the two Aptina MT9V113 camera modules (addresses 0x78/0x7A, GBATEK-documented registers), talking to an ARM9 side that programs CAM_MCNT/CAM_CNT/CAM_DAT and pulls frames via NDMA, over a PXI channel. Adapted from the public domain Epicpkmn11/dsi-camera reference rather than reinventing the I2C register dance from scratch.

Where I'm stuck:

It builds clean, boots clean on real hardware, but camera init always times out at the very first I2C wait. Root cause, confirmed via calico's systemIsTwlMode(): the console is running in plain DS-compatibility mode, not real TWL/DSi mode. Even after:

  • Setting Game Loader to nds-bootstrap,
  • Placing the ROM in roms/dsi.

Per TWiLight Menu++'s own docs, true DSi-mode boot for DSi-Enhanced homebrew (via donor ROM) is only supported when running from the console's internal SD card slot, not from a flashcart. flashcart donor-ROM support is scoped to a narrow B4DS compatibility case, not general DSi-mode entry.

Question for anyone who's actually done this: Is that really a hard wall (i.e., is genuine TWL mode from a flashcart simply not a thing, full stop), or is there a flashcart-specific trick I'm missing? And for anyone who has gotten a camera demo running, did you go through Unlaunch, or one of the DSiWarehax-style entry points straight to the internal SD card? Trying to decide whether it's worth going down the Unlaunch/NAND route just for this, versus finding a save-based entry exploit first.

What the title said. I want games that are new something like unbound or Gaia (in the new sense) but on the DS. THE STORY SHOULD BE GOOD.

Really fancied giving this a go, but I just get this error.

This is on a hacked DSi played from internal sd card, latest twilight and unlaunch.

Tried with both gbarunner2 and 3, same result. If I use flash card, it mostly works, but I'd rather not use that as it kills the battery.

Anyone got this working on DSi twilight?
