Nintendo DS Homebrew

The 3 hardware items you need to do homebrew DS development are:

• A GBA memory card reader
• A memory card itself
• A DS Super Key cartridge to override the DS boot software to allow it boot files off the GBA memory card

I’ve got a DS Lite so I picked up a combo package that include a Super Key, a SuperCard MicroSD reader and a 1GB micro SD memory flash card. — Doug Daniels 2007/01/18 20:55

I've got no tutorials yet, but once I get a chance to play around with this stuff again I'll post some OpenGL tutorials. For now just check out the resources (feel free to contribute any more links that you find). — Doug Daniels 2007/01/18 20:48
