The DS has a touchscreen, and so does the iPhone. That’s where the similarities end, unless you choose to pick up hillbilly’s new DS application: DPhone. DPhone is a shell that mimicks the iPhone’s interface, and also provides some pretty cool features:

Features to be implemented:
-Phone (Author of SvSIP contaced me…)
-Music Player
-Text Editor (Finish it)
-Settings (right hand - left hand setting)

Done Features:
-Customizable icons (Loading GIF’s)
-Maps
-File browser
-Calendar
-booting functionality
-Customizable main-screen BG
-Plays *.RAW files from the file browser.
-Plays *.SMF files (Spinal’s Movie format) from the file browser.
-GUI Clock courtesy of bug-fix by ThemePark.
-Multi-Touch support (MLlib) used in picture viewer.

Not too shabby, especially with the possibility of VOiP! We can only wait for future releases.

According to this Japanese coder, it has been!

A video was posted to YouTube a short while ago demonstrating a simple “Hello World” application running on a new DSi. As we know, the DSi does not recognize any of the previously existing flashcarts, but with this exploit, we might be able to run unsigned code.

The coder has not said much about the hack, and we only have a rough translation of what he has said:

He says that he borrowed his friends one and was able to perform the hack.
He didn’t say how he did it, but says that he did the the same way every thought it might be able to be done…
He also says something about not being sure if he wants to disclose how he did it due to a boom…

He says that the DSi’s are all sold out now in Japan. He wants to buy his own to do further testing to make sure the hack works on all DSi’s.

He mentions creating a custom firmware

There is still hope for the DSi hacking scene!

News submitted by Joe88

Reports are flying in this morning that the new DSi handheld is incapable of booting existing flash carts. Our friend ahtin at Hacken.cc who has got his hands on a brand new DSi, has tested both the popular R4 DS and EZ Flash V.

ahtin has reported that the R4 DS (an auto-booting slot-1 cart), when inserted into the DSi, in fact does NOT automatically boot up, and fails to appear at all in the new revamped DSi main menu (which is normal behaviour for an auto-booting cart). The EZ Flash V on the other hand (a non auto-booting slot-1 cart), does in fact show in the DSi’s main menu, but when launched generates an error which prevents it from loading any further.

Whether or not the new flash cart “prevention” on the DSi can be disabled or worked around is yet to be determined. Once more people get their hands on the new Nintendo handheld revision, we’ll undoubtedly learn more about why this is happening. Perhaps it could be something as simple as an update in the carts loader/firmware (at least in the case of the EZ-V), or perhaps something a modified firmware (ala. FlashMe) could fix. But of course, only time will tell.

Hacken.cc have not reported results on any other flash kits. Stay tuned to GBAtemp for any further news, as we’ll keep you posted on any developments.

UPDATE!: ahtin has informed me personally of his latest tests. Unfortunately it’s not good news! Just take a look at the long list of flash carts that have ALSO FAILED on the DSi…

CycloDS - Failed
G6 DS Real - Failed
M3 DS Real - Failed

RTS function

The Real Time Save features of M3R:
====================================
1) Support maximum of 3 save files for each game.
2) Fast loading time & saving time. (save time=8sec/load time=5sec, The fastest performance in the market.)
3) Approximately, 95% of nds games are able to use RTS function so far.
4) Integrated RTS menu support showing time, loading & saving status, monitoring capacity of SD etc…
5) Support more than 1 set of hot-keys for activating RTS menu to prevent key-conflict situation occurs. (L+R+sel or L+R+Y)

To enable RTS feature:
=====================
Just make sure the “RT Save(L+R+SL)” or “RT Save(L+R+Y)” option at “RTS/soft reset” pull-down menu of the game configuration menu has been selected. (There is only 1 save file for a game by default. If users want to have more than one save file for the game, please press “select” when highlighting the game at the game list menu and Select the “create is1″ or “create is2″ option. In addition, if the capacity of the TF card is not enough for creating file, users may also delete selected files in the “My Card” menu.)

Basic operation:
================
Just press “L+R+SL” or “L+R+Y” to activate RTS menu during game play.

Operation keys:
—————
[up/down] = select
[A] = confirm
[b] = Exit and return to game

Function of the items:
———————-
SAVE (save the game status from memory to default save file .is0)
LOAD (load the game status from default save file .is0 to memory)

SAVE BACKUP1 (save the game status from memory to save file .is1)
LOAD BACKUP1 (load the game status from save file .is1 to memory)

SAVE BACKUP2 (save the game status from memory to save file .is2)
SAVE BACKUP2 (load the game status from save file .is2 to memory)

MAIN MENU (Go back to the M3R main menu = soft reset)

Useful information:
Due to the restrictions of the system of nds, it’s not easy to make it perfect. However, the load/save function is stable and we tested over 3000 of games, about 95% of games are able to use RTS function and all the status of those games can be restored and let me continue to play the game without so many problems so the overall performance of the RTS function is satisfied. To help users to use the RTC function smoothly, users may need to note the followings:

1. Please do not activate the RTS menu at the beginning of game boot up such as logo graphic is loading or showing. It’s because the initial process of the game is usually still progress.
2. Please do not activate the RTS menu during which the data is being loaded or saved.
3. The graphic of a few games may not be able to restore perfectly upon loading back the save file data into memory; we suggest users may re-try to restore the game (load) at another moment. Usually, if users save the game at gameplay, please try loading back during gameplay and not from the main menu. Another example, if users save the game at the 3D state, we suggest loading the data back at the 3D state too.
4. The sound of a few games may temporary break upon loading back the save file data, we suggest closing the cover of the NDS for a second then re-opening it again. Usually, it will be able to recover without any problem in most cases.
