Homebrew Code for Nintendo DS

DS

Great resource for Nintendo DS development. This site provides excellent tutorials for installing a development environment, creating your own applications and transmitting the programs to your DS.

To run self developed code on the DS you need to be able to somehow transfer the executable to the device. There are a few ways of doing this but the way I’m using is something called ‘WifiMe’.

This involves running a program on a PC with a compatible PCMCIA or PCI 802.11g network card that appears to the DS as a ‘DS Download Play’ server.

On the DS you can then go to the ‘DS Download Play’ option and select the available program served up by the PC. This program will then run on the DS and cause a DS executable stored on a GBA Flash cartridge in the DS to execute.

How excellent would it be to play “Spaced Invaders” on your DS?
