Main Page color?

I'm planning on creating a WiiBrew-like Main Page, but I don't know what color it should be. As far as i can tell, the DSi only comes in black and white, both of which would not be good colors. Any thoughts?

If you can do some type of shade of brown with yellow or white text might be good. I agree that black is not a very good option though. Pinball Wizard 03:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Why not use the same Main Page as WiiBrew but with another logo, it looks and works great also makes the projects connect better. Tigertailz
Pinball Wizard: What's the reasoning behind the brown? I don't really see any connection. If it were to be brown, it should definitely be a light shade. Black text is a must on a website where the entire background is white.
Tigertailz: I don't really think blue should be used again. This wiki's main page should be colored so that it is different from WiiBrew. I plan to keep the same page formatting, though.
Anyways, once I get my admin powers transferred over here from WiiBrew, I'll transfer some templates and start working.

The reasoning behind light brown is for the entire wiki to set it apart from other layouts. i do see your point though, We (you) should stick with something lighter but absolutely different, like you said to distinguish the wikis. I Suggest an uncommon color. Pinball Wizard 01:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I too vote for a similar looking page as Wiibrew--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 14:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

logo contest

since there is only an ugly logo without stating its the dsibrew logo i think there should be a better one. for wiibrew it was a nice startup. Bitflusher 11:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

IRC

will there be a dsibrew irc?

We can use Xat.com, it's flash chat. Duhow

See #dshelp, #dsidev, and #dsidevot on the EFNET server.--Arikado 00:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Forums

I know this project just started but are we looking to set up a forum? Pinball Wizard 22:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Wiki

I am having 2 issues that is low priority at the moment but will sooner or later need to be addressed: 1)The wiki takes 5-10 minutes to update from any changes. Not a biggy but Wiibrew used to have the issue for a few weeks then magically fixed itself. 2)I don't know how it works but on the wiibrew wiki you can use the command where the XXXX's represent the video id. Is it possible to get that added onto this wiki? This is very very very low on the list but could become useful. Pinball Wizard 23:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

  1. Go into your preferences, click the Misc tab, and check the "Disable page caching" box. That should make the wiki update immediately, as long as you are logged in. It may make loading pages in general slower, though.
  2. None of the MediaWiki extensions have been installed on DSiBrew yet (see DSiBrew's extenstion list as compared to WiiBrew's. Hopefully they will be installed soon.
Hope that helps. --Blooper (Talk) 00:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah that helps a lot. Now I can feel a little more useful on wiki work with changing things as needed. I figured it was a mediawiki extension. I don't know if you are coming up with a list of needed extensions though and wanted to make sure that the youtube one was at least considered. Pinball Wizard 23:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi i was wondering if you needed a better logo for this site so i wiped one up for you. you don't have to use it but would be awesome if you did. --Thetooth

The one above is my favourite! It rocks! TwoBladedKnight


DSi Brew logo-Tabibito.png

Does anyone have a template for the text? I don't have a matching font so I just used what I though looked best. I'm not really happy with the fonts though, I might redo it with new fonts if I ever get the chance. --Tabibito >Talk 01:55, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

On mine I just googled the DSi logo and pasted it. Then I used a type layer for "Brew". --bg4545 02:30, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


Hey everybody! Here is my logo I made for DSiBrew:

America Soon

So After April 5th DSi will be everywhere that its been announced. Looks like the fun's about to begin.BTW:Will it still be team twiizers or is everything going to change? --ChuckBartowski 05:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

SOMEONE needs to find a hack that lets you boot homebrew. Then a few more small steps and we have a DSi Homebrew Channel and easy ports of all the existing DS homebrew. Hopefully this creates new interest in developing for DS homebrew and we get a lot more apps with fixes for all the buggy old ones. Which brings me to a question, can people start working on making pages for existing DS homebrew projects?--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 15:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
That's actually a good question. Is this wiki for only DSi homebrew or both DS and DSi homebrew? What if a homebrew works on the DS but not on the DSi? Should that be included on the wiki? I think this warrants some discussion. Personally I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to include information on all past DS homebrew because there currently is not one central place to find DS homebrew. --Blooper (Talk) 02:45, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
I personally think we should include DS homebrew that works with the DSi, and have information on DS homebrew that people are porting to the DSi. However, I don't see any reason to cover homebrew for the DS that doesn't work on the DSi unless it's to solicit people to work on porting them. --Tabibito >Talk 00:41, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

DSi Hack page

I created the DSi hack page so hackers can opt to update us on their project or get help on the talk page. It's linked on the main page.--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 16:58, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

New GUI

I've created a new GUI for the main page like WiiBrew --CashMan 22:07, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

looks good!--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 03:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

flashcarts

Can we get proof that DSi flashcarts still work?--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 03:20, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
