DS Misc > DS Download Station: Own Compilation?

#100495 - Wuschmaster - Mon Aug 28, 2006 7:06 am

I'd like to use one of the DS Download Station to send official demos to another DS. However, I want to choose the demos I want to send myself.

As far as I know, those demos are compressed. Is there any way to compress demos and replace them with the ones that come with the DS Download Station ROM?

Until now I used this Tamagotchi game to distribute a certain official demo to unflashed DS units. But it kinda sucks to use it, because it can only send *one* demo. (But at least it works even to unflashed DS units, which is pretty cool.)

(Oh yeah, my SuperCard CF can send the Download Station Demos to unflashed DS units just fine while my M3 can't.)

Thanks.

The demos will need to be RSA signed, then you can download the DSDS binary (note, that this may be illegal in your country), unpack it with DSLazy, write a LZO compressor and put as many demos as you wish in there ... :)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, all I probably need is the LZO compressor. I don't know anything about compression algorithmics, so I was wondering if such a compressor was already made and if the creator is willing to share it. ^^;

Thoduv made one, though I'm pretty sure it doesn't work ... send him a PM.

You were right.
He gaved up trying to make it work, unfortunately.

I really hope someone else can help, though. :(

It's possible (AND EASY!) to make a demo sender with only 1 demo in it... (One without multistage loader and RSA, so cannot be sent to unflashed ds :().
I've tried it and it works perfect.
