Five Great R4 Nintendo Ds Hacks
1) Run homebrew software (without opening the Case / voiding your warranty)
There are many different ways Get an R4 DS homebrew software running (amateur and homemade games and apps downloaded via the Internet), but many of them require hardware hacking or other complicated steps such as short circuit wires to bypass the R4 DS firmware.
The simplest solution is to purchase a Slot-1 Card, which a number available. The CycloR4 DS Evolution, which sells for about $ 50-60, is the best overall "all-in-one" solution, but it also requires the purchase of a MicroSD memory card (1GB or 2GB one perfect and this can be done from a number of online sources for about $ 10 each.) This is by far the simplest solution, if you just drag and drop downloaded. NR4 DS files to the MicroSD card with a USB attachment that comes with the DS CycloR4 Evolution.
The CycloR4 DS software patches automatically when it is copied to the memory card, so in most cases it is ready when you fire the R4 DS. It also gives you a nice GUI to end the R4 DS software that can either run or enter the Moonshell media player (used for the movie files, music files and viewing photos.) CycloR4 DS The DS also adR4 a number of enhanced functionality for the R4 DS, such as real-time game to store and to restore a slow-motion option and incremental brightness of the display.
There are a number of other competing Slot-1 DS CarR4 that work just as well and actually can be kept for a bit cheaper ($ 30-40), as the R4 and the M3, but neither has quite the robust feature set CycloR4 that the DS does. If you really want to spend little money as possible, Other branR4 of DS Slot-1 Card go as low as $ 20 (for the R4 DS Toy), but generally the lower it costs less opportunities, and the greater the chance that your files manually patch to copy them over to the R4 DS.
Some good places to find homebrew games and apps are QJ.net forums, NR4 DS Homebrew Site and Wikipedia's list of the R4 DS homebrew software. You'll find everything from emulators for other consoles and computers, to ported versions of PC games like Doom and Starcraft to the iPhone-like apps.
Most of these carR4 DS to update the ROM images of commercial software to run. But I know that you are ethical and will not use them for that purpose.
2) Install R4 DSLinux
Linux is now almost every platform imaginable, including the Nintendo DS R4. The best way to go is to simply use of a Slot-1 Card method, as described in the previous section, and installation instructions are very simple and clear. It comes packed with a lot of fun and useful apps, a virtual QWERTY keyboard you manipulate with the stylus, even Sudoku and Tetris games. It also works with the R4 DS WiFi, and there is a simple text-only web browser and an IRC client.
3) Turn the R4 DS into a quality pro-shot camera controller
This is heavy on the technical specifications and requires some C + + programming skill to replicate, but if you want a highly portable and customizable delayed and time-release shot controller for a professional camera seems like it would easily be worth (or worth a job doing techie friend to help create.)
Rather than try something I really do not understand explained, it is probably better just one link you to the page of the inventor, a lot of useful screen shots of it.
4) Turn the R4 DS into a VoIP phone
The Nintendo DS R4 can be converted in a VoIP phone using a homebrew app called SvSIP. This requires you to run homebrew software on the R4 DS first, as set put in the first part of this article. SIP is simply a VoIP (Voice over IP) protocol, and a warning to this is that you connect to a provider that supports SIP. Fortunately there are some sources of free SIP accounts there, and a good starting point for finding this list. This is really more likely to work consistently in Europe than in the U.S. at this point, however.
5) Turn the R4 DS into a GPS device
Now you have a great excuse for the R4 DS to bring on camping trips! This is possibly the most technically complicated when it comes to building a serial interface for the R4 DS (which some simple soldering of wires and connectors), and instructions for that process can be found on this page. This interface has features in addition to GPS, however, as the installation of a USB keyboard and various devices.
Once done, however, it is simply a matter of connecting a GPS module and running of a small program (again through homebrew DS methoR4 described in Part 1 of this article) which uses Google Maps to display the position. This relatively new hack and the author still wants to clean up his code completely before he posts, but it will be seen at this link when it is finished.
