DS Flash Equipment > nds xboo cable

#84435 - usch_ghost - Mon May 22, 2006 4:29 pm

Has someone succesfully build an Xboo cable for the ds that comes with
no$gba?
If so, can you say me what equipment you have used and how well it works?
it would be nice if there would be any pictures of a "Xbooed ds"
because i just want to see how it looks^^

The Xboo cable for DS actually simulates button presses in order to send data.

As far as i remember you have to soldier 12 cables to the DS?s motherboard and than you can flash it with a special no$firmware and upload .nds files
or not?

is there a tutorial on the net that shows me how to build one?

OMG THATS SO CLEVER :D

Thinking it through, wouldn't using the same idea as a telephone modem work? There's a microphone port..


Using the microphone port, some program could send data by audio - while a homebrew program translates it into useable code.

Downloading off the DS would also work the same way, through the headphones port.

Modem is nearly obsolete now that sgstair's Wi-Fi code works.

This was briefly discussed over on DSLinux forum (although it was about DS - DS networking ala Spectrum) and we decided it would be too slow.
When they used something similar to dump the iPod firmware it took about 3 hours.
