Nintendo DS & DSi · Apps & launch tools

1. Extract the release and use BOOT.NDS with the bootstrap appropriate to your flashcart or existing homebrew route.
2. Place additional homebrew in /nds/ and keep required app data in the paths its publisher specifies. Read the release README before choosing a flashcart boot file.

This is a launcher for an already supported entry point, not a DSi exploit or a 3DS CIA installer. Bootstrap selection depends on the flashcart.

The original ready bundle also includes bootstrap.cia for a separate 3DS route. On DS/DSi use BOOT.NDS and the relevant flashcart bootstrap; do not install the CIA.

1. Copy cg-input-test.nds to your flashcart microSD or prepared console SD, then launch it as native NDS homebrew.
2. No separate data folder is required. /roms/nds/homebrew/ is an optional organizational folder.

Battery information depends on hardware and launch mode; original DS hardware only exposes a high/low battery state.

1. Copy CerealBoxSnowNds1.2.0.nds to your homebrew storage, for example /roms/nds/homebrew/, then open it in a compatible homebrew launcher. This folder is a library suggestion, not a fixed app requirement.
2. Use the touchscreen and on-screen controls. In the NDS build, X or Up switches between attracting and pushing particles.

Select this Nintendo DS executable. The Windows and Linux releases are separate desktop apps and are not included in the console download.

1. Extract the ready ZIP. Copy nitroustracker.nds and the supplied songs/ and themes/ folders to your SD card. Launch nitroustracker.nds; debug and MIDI variants remain preserved in the original ZIP.
2. Use the app’s file browser to load or save .xm songs and .wav samples in folders of your choice. Keep copies of your songs before upgrading the app.

This pins the ready 0.6.5 GitHub release. Later builds, including native 3DS and beta releases, have separate packages; they are not substituted for this DS build.

Samples must be uncompressed 8-bit or 16-bit WAV. Memory available for samples is smaller in DS mode than in DSi mode.

1. Copy dsidl.dsi to the DSi SD card and open it with a DSi-mode homebrew launcher. A DS / DS Lite flashcart cannot provide its required camera and DSi Wi-Fi functions.
2. Configure Wi-Fi through System Settings → Advanced Settings. Scan a QR containing a URL, then choose the SD destination folder and filename in dsidl.

The publisher labels v0.1.1 as a prerelease. Requires a working DSi camera, SD access and a compatible router. Its dsiwifi library has router limitations; the author says WEP/open networks may not work. Hold SELECT at launch for connection logs.

1. Extract dslibris.nds, Font/ and Book/ to the storage root, keeping that exact layout. Do not put them inside a new app subfolder.
2. Place your EPUB books in /Book/ and optional .ttf fonts in /Font/. Launch dslibris.nds from the homebrew menu.

Some flashcarts need the matching DLDI patch. This is the published v1.5.2-2 release; the separate v1.6.0 prerelease is not substituted. The upstream repository is archived.

1. Copy dsi-camera.nds onto the DSi SD card and open it with a launcher that provides DSi-mode camera and SD access.
2. Saved photos use /DCIM/100DSI00/IMG_####.PNG. Keep existing photos and available space on the card.

The .nds extension does not make this a DS / DS Lite camera app: it requires the DSi hardware cameras. The publisher supplies a separate CIA asset for another installation route; it is not included here.

1. Extract sdcard-root.zip into the SD root, retaining /books/ and /data/ikureader/ with its fonts, encodings and translations.
2. Use IkuReader.nds for DS flashcarts, or IkuReader.dsi for the publisher’s DSi direct-boot/hiyaCFW route. Keep your books and /data/ikureader/bookmarks/ when updating.

The data ZIP is required alongside the selected executable. Preserve the supplied fonts and encoding tables; this page keeps both original console variants separately.
