DS development > DS Download Play from Darkain's loader?

#50149 - Totakeke - Sat Aug 06, 2005 1:42 am

Would it be possible to make the loader (or any other loader, really) send .nds demos to other DS's? The DS Download Play doesn't use WiFI, and since people can already send demos to DS's from their computers, I'm sure there's a way to do it from DS w/demos+loader -> Other DS.

No one figured out the wi-fi registers yet, so it can't be done until someone has.

..it's only a matter of time.. it's only a matter of time..

Anyone who is knowledgable to run flashme in the first place is not going to randomly download available broadcasted demos for their DS.

Besides, the chances of you being in range of someone else who is broadcasting mal-ware (or anything for that matter) is really slim to none. In fact, we all have a better chance of seeing Microsoft buy out Nintendo AND Sony before that happens. [/sarcasm]

oh, heck, i was actually being sarcastic.. what i meant was that before long it'll be easy as anything to flash your friends' DSes, even without any special hardware.

We'd have to reverse-engineer the Super Mario 64 DS stub in order to know how to send unsigned code to another DS.

What about the E3 demos? Couldn't you send those without reverse-engineering the stub? Those are obviously signed.

Reason why I'm asking this is because (for example) in the Meteos demo, you can play VS, but you can't actually send it to another DS through Download Play. So, if you can send the Meteos demo to the other person by using the other DS's own download play (in the loader), you can then play together. Obviously this is for people without WifiMe. All I have are Passme and a GBA flash cart. :/

You could load the meteos demo using your passme and flash card and once it's load remove the cart and passme and have your friend load it up and go from there? Don't know if that's possible or useful or anything. Just a shot in the dark.

#50220 - Totakeke - Sat Aug 06, 2005 5:57 pm

Removing the passme makes the game completely freeze.

#50229 - IxthusTiger - Sat Aug 06, 2005 7:33 pm

close the DS first, so it sleeps, then remove the passme and cart and load it onto your friend's.

EDIT: No wait, you're right, if you remove the Passme the DS will turn off. If you have FlashMe, then this method will work.

again, more than likely but not until somebody figures out the wifi.
