Hi, I've been messing around with DSLinux and came up with this. It'll use dosfsck to check or repair your filesystem when it gets messed up. I've only tested it on a Supercard SD but in theory it should work on anything that supports DLDI.
Sorry for the crappy download link but I don't have anywhere to put stuff online at the moment.
Don't forget to dldi patch, use at your own risk etc etc

So you don't use this inside DSLinux?

It's a stripped down DSLinux that sole function is to automatically run dosfsck via a menu.

And RapidShare still flips the bird to people with disabilities.
Proof, DS size
So I tried your fscking program on my R4 using the autopatcher in recent R4 firmware. It crashed with a traceback. I couldn't figure out how to shut down the DS cleanly, so I just powered off. (Mr. Resetti will kill me for this.) The next time I started the card, the R4 menu ran slowly whenever I moved the cursor, and I couldn't start any .nds files. Fortunately, chkdsk /f J: on Windows XP fixed all.

:-(
It probably needs the extra RAM, unfortunately. It's working flawlessly on my Supercard SD. It may be something due to the R4 autopatching but I doubt it.
It shouldn't change anything on the filesystem unless you tell it to, so I don't know why you had your problem tepples. Did it get as far as the menu?

Should I try again with a Nintendo DS Memory Expansion Pak?

It did. I chose the first option, and it immediately crashed.

Unfortunately I don't have access to any other hardware apart from a Supercard SD, but I'm pretty sure it should use the Opera expansion. I'll have another look to see if I can strip anything more out to get it a bit smaller and perhaps disable the extra memory support on my Supercard.
Thanks for testing!

when I used my R4 WITH Memory Expansion it worked flawlessly

A bit late but it works fine with a Cyclo evolution ( with G6 lite as expansion pack )
Thanks

why the hell does this need a expansion pack at all anyway ?

Because Linux, even ucLinux, has a sizable overhead. A dosfsck program coded natively for devkitARM wouldn't have as much overhead.

Nice one m8 works a treat cheers.
Cyclo Evoloution - 2gb sandisk - Firmware 1.3B - 3 in 1 expansion pack

So, is dosfsck available natively in DSLinux? I don't remember seeing it in the bins for the DLDI build.
