How to run Homebrew on your Nintendo DS!

Step 5 Suggested Downloads

There's is a great list of homebrew out there, but not all will work with your card, so check here before wasting time/bandwidth/money downloading something that won't work.

On the Applications side of things, I recommend. (Everything can be found with this thing and GBATemp.net downloads area.)

-DScratch - DJ Program NEW VERSION OUT NOW
-NitroTracker - Music Maker
-DSorganize - Organizer, er nuff said
-OKIWI - Web browser.
-Mini vMac - vMac emulator
-DSLinux -Linux on DS
-LMP-NG (iPod clone seen on front page)
-NDSMail
-Colors - Drawing program
-DSAim - AIM on DS
-DSLiveWeather - Weather Checker.
-DSFTP <-- Download :D
-Moonshell - Multimedia player.

On the Games side of things I can only really recommend: (I haven't played a lot of Homebrew Games)
-A Touch Of War (Brilliant)
-AmplituDS
-PocketPhysics
-Whee!

You can also run emulators on your DS too, so you can run classic systems too.

I don't know, it's not on my list. I don't use it but:

Don't know if I can help.

To connect to the internet, eg web browser. Either use OKIWI, which can't render images or DSOrganize which can (I recommend this).

For anything always go here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?dlcategory=1

For MSN, try Beup, however at the moment, it is not working. See there are lots of programs that can connect to MSN, on PC, Mac, Linux, DS, etc. But the only one that will work always, is Windows Live Messenger, or other official Micro$oft created ones. MSN server IP's change all the time, and BEUP doesn't support DNS, which acquires the IP address automatically: the author writes it out in the program. So unfortunately, BEUP is connecting to the wrong server and it's not working.

Sorry, er if you didn't understand any of that.

im confused lik for OKIWI wat do i download for my ds cuz i don noe wat to download for internet ><

[Noodle93]

You download Okiwi here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PVI8M0JL

Patch it with DLDI, then run it.

However I'd recommend using DSOrganize quite frankly. It's a bit more basic.

Great homebrew game: AmplituDS
It's based on the PS2 rhythm game Amplitude. If you remember him from DSmeet, AirHead helped work on the 4th version and it's actually a pretty big improvement over v3

I'd recommend DSFTP as well. It's a lot easier than taking out the SD card and putting it back in constantly >.>

Also, the M3 Sakura interface is pretty slick. It only works on the M3 Real and equivalent though, so not your R4.

Finally, a good download site is http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/
It's really good about being up-to-date and has all sorts of valuable info/download links.

I'll add them to the list later, I gotta check out this amplituds thing. Congrats to AirHead. Did you instantly remember my username like I did yours?

[kevind23]

Haha, yeah. Plus your avatar is the same, that was like confirmation. AirHead goes by Aaron or Aerial/AerialX now, btw.

[Noodle93]

DSFTP is leet. That's awesome, still yet to try out AmplituDS, but I'll still add it to the list. Yeah, I use the same avatar everywhere for this same purpose. This i'ble used to have a link to ABXY before it suffered epic failure. What made you come to visit instructables?

[kevind23]

My DSL hinge broke, and I found it's a lot cheaper to just replace the shell than to buy a new one or have Nintendo repair it. So I googled for some instructions on how to do so, and I found an Instructable. Then on the related links I saw your username and I was like "No way!" so I checked out this instructable here and.. well, that's that
