Is there a hacked firmware to run homebrew unsigned code on the "new" DS using the build-in wifi-loader and the WMB app?
Instead of getting flash-cards, adaptors, etc it would be simpler to re-flash the DS bios with a firmware which allows to run unsigned code.
A little solder and PPFLASH seems ideal for that.
But, is there a "hacked" bios around ?
ps: i know i might brick the thing.

If you successfully install ppflash, then you can use a GBA flash cart and the recovery button (A+B+Select+Start) to install FlashMe (the hacked firmware).

No way to flash FlashMe bios directly with ppflash?
I dont have a gba-flash card (!) It's kind of difficult to
get them here in switzerland at a decent price.
(80$ for the basic adaptor without CF-card !).

Sorry, you'll need it.
Although GBAmp from Lik-Sang looks kinda cheap. :)

If you want to use only WMB to start programs on the DS, then you can't test your programs when you're away from your computer (e.g. on the bus), which defeats the entire portability aspect of the Nintendo DS. If you're going to be sitting next to your computer all the time, then you might as well just develop for SDL and OpenGL.
PPFlash + GBAMP should work for installing FlashMe if you've soldered a PS2 or Xbox modchip before, but I haven't yet read any success reports with this combination.
