ChuckBartowski: /* The DSiBrew Forums */

== 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. [[User:Pinball Wizard|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. [[User:Tigertailz|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.
::<tt>--[[User:Blooper4912|'''Blooper''']] [[User talk:Blooper4912|(Talk)]]</tt> 00:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
:::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. [[User:Pinball Wizard|Pinball Wizard]] 01:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
::::I too vote for a similar looking page as Wiibrew--[[User:Funkamatic|FUNKAMATIC]][[User talk:Funkamatic| ~talk]] 14:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
:I vote for a light blue, as the DSi was released in America with the colors being black and light blue instead of white.--winmaster

==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. [[User:Bitflusher|Bitflusher]] 11:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

==IRC==
will there be a dsibrew irc?

We can use Xat.com, it's flash chat. [[User:Duhow|Duhow]]

See #dsihelp, #dsidev, and #dsidevot on the EFNET server.--[[User:Arikado|Arikado]] 00:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

==Forums==
I know this project just started but are we looking to set up a forum? [[User:Pinball Wizard|Pinball Wizard]] 22:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC) 
Yeah, I was thinking just that. Funnily enough, forum.dsibrew.org goes to the WiiBrew Forums... anyways, if this site did have a forum, I think it would be more idle speculation than it would be actual exciting DSi native code developments... --[[User:Zack|Zack]] 22:41, 11 June 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 <youtube>XXXXXXXXXX</youtube> 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. [[User:Pinball Wizard|Pinball Wizard]] 23:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

#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.
#None of the MediaWiki extensions have been installed on DSiBrew yet (see [http://dsibrew.org/wiki/Special:Version DSiBrew's extenstion list] as compared to [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Special:Version WiiBrew's]. Hopefully they will be installed soon.
:Hope that helps. <tt>--[[User:Blooper4912|'''Blooper''']] [[User talk:Blooper4912|(Talk)]]</tt> 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. [[User:Pinball Wizard|Pinball Wizard]] 23:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

== Logo ==

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. --[[User:Thetooth|Thetooth]]

I have also made a logo =P
I could probably make it nicer with more time... --[[User:Bg4545|Bg4545]] 08:14, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

The one above is my favourite! It rocks! [[User:TwoBladedKnight|TwoBladedKnight]]

Mvit's one (the one which is slanted and without a DS) is hands-down the best. It doesn't rely on images of the DSi to work, and it looks pretty good and fits with the Wiibrew aesthetic. --[[User:Rhazes|Rhazes]] 20:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

[[Image:DSi_Brew_logo-Tabibito.png|200px]]

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. <tt>--[[User:Tabibito|'''Tabibito''']] [[User talk:Tabibito|>Talk]]</tt> 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". --[[User:Bg4545|bg4545]] 02:30, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

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

:i like the pic but why is the dsi covered in seaweed? o.O
--[[User:Mercluke|Mercluke]]
:Seaweed? This should be some kind of Matrix-effect.. But I'm happy that you like it
--[[User:Makorus|Makorus]] 10:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
:oh, wouldn't it make more sense to use a black DSi so it's like the old cmd promt pcs that use green text and black background?
--[[User:Mercluke|Mercluke]]

:I've added an inverted version of my logo... I think a white DSi with that Matrix-effect looks way better than a black one.

--[[User:Makorus|Makorus]] 10:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

:Updated the black matrix DSi. I just removed the headphone jack, because I think that the camera and the speakers are quite characteristic for the new DS.

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? --[[User:ChuckBartowski|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?--[[User:Funkamatic|FUNKAMATIC]][[User talk: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. <tt>--[[User:Blooper4912|'''Blooper''']] [[User talk:Blooper4912|(Talk)]]</tt> 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.

== InterWiki ==

Hey guys,

what do you think about InterWiki linking between WiiBrew and DSiBrew?

like <nowiki>[[wb:WUFE|Wii Update File Extractor]] or [[dsi:System_Menu|DSI's Menu]]</nowiki>?
: Don't see the point. The most they need are links on the sidebar to help users move around the homebrew wikis. --[[User:Zack|Zack]] 13:49, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

== DS(i) Download-Game-Funtion ==

The Nintendo DS(i) has a Function to Download games via WLAN/WIFI, is it possible to modify the "Nintendo Wi-Fi USB-Connector"-Software to start Homebrew, like a Installer for a "Homebrew-Channel"? It´s just a idea from me, but i think it can be easy. (I´m sorry for my bad english, but i´m from Germany and i´m not very good in english...) --[[User:Plinfa|Plinfa]] 23:49, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
: I was actually thinking of something like that, except for normal DS Download Play. You can modify a wireless network card to send out DS Download signals, however, as someone pointed out in the forums, very few cards support this. For the ones that do, it might be possible for the owners and their friends and family to get homebrew. Maybe they could take the network cards and a laptop to conventions and spread homebrew further. I don't know. --[[User:Zack|Zack]] 13:47, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

== Userboxes ==

I added a few crappy user boxes. You can see them in action on my page. I do not have a DSi, so I do not use the DSi userbox.--[[User:Zack|Zack]] 14:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

== Dub-T's Nintendo DSi Shop Hack ==

Erm, doesn't this just follow from what I wrote on Hackmii? http://hackmii.com/2009/01/dsibrew/ --[[User:Bushing|Bushing]] 11:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

== Kasu's Hack ==
Fake ? Everyone can do that using a DSi flashcard and remove it after ! 
If it isn't a fake show us how you load the code ! --[[User:Ludo6431|Ludo6431]] 16:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

== Exploit via Opera? ==

The DSi Webbrowser is based on an older Opera 9.5/9.6 as I know and there are several security issues like the possibility of executing code through manipulated jpeg-images ([http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/926/ here more detailed]).

Wouldn't it be possible to use such a security hole to start homebrew from the SD card?

'''Advantages:'''

1. Opera DSi webbrowser runs in native DSi mode --> access to all DSi features

2. Easy to use: Just save your homebrew on your SD card, surf to the manipulated image an execute your homebrew

3. No extra game/stuff/anything needed, you just have to download the DSi webbrowser for free and then you can start using homebrew on your DSi

'''Disadvantage:'''

It has to be found out how to use such a security issue

I have no idea if this is possible and because I don't have the skills to do that, I thought I tell your about and you say if this idea is realistic.

--[[User:Makorus|Makorus]] 09:19, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

This exploit use a buffer overflow by accesing to an URI (file://) with a very long adress but it's need that the file has to be in the disk.
URI link with Nintendo DSi Browser doesnt't work.
[http://www.zataz.com/news/18368/faille--vulnerabilite--exploit--opera.html] (link in French)

--[[User:Geniusdj|Geniusdj]] 13:30, 9 May 2009 (CET)

I talked especially about manipulated jpegs, because I suppose (I don't really know, but I think so) they can contain the code that shall be executed.

--[[User:Makorus|Makorus]] 17:53, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I was looking for a sample of those manipulated jpegs for Opera < v9.64 and that seems that is it only a vulnerability and not an exploit. The only exploit is the one with URI : i tried two example of this : [http://milw0rm.com/exploits/7135], the browser seems to be slower and after, it's show a page that says : "Out of memory. The page may not display correctly" or "The page have a wrong path".

Someone know the path to memory card of DSi ? 'Cause the exploit count on this by putting a file on the disk.

--[[User:Geniusdj|Geniusdj]] 13:22, 9 May 2009 (CET)

== Bannerbomb for DSi? ==

I think something like ([http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Bannerbomb/ Bannerbomb]) should be possible, because the Firmware of the DSi is similar to the Firmware of the Wii.--[[User:Ninko|Ninko]] 20:07, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

:The problem with that is that the DSi uses simple bitmaps for banners, and not the intricate proprietary format Nintendo uses. So, unless Nintendo fail at bitmap parsing, there isn't likely to be an exploit there. [[User:Muzer|Muzer]] 09:14, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

::Oh, I didn't know that. [[User:Ninko|Ninko]] 18:11, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

:What if you were to attempt to load a corrupted file? Does the DSi have safeguards in place to prevent a malformed bitmap from being loaded? [[User:ploogle|Ploogle]] 17:24, 24 May 2009 (GMT -8:00)

== Camera or Sound Channel Exploit? ==
Has anyone looked into an exploit involving loading a corrupted sound or image file into the Sound or Camera channel via the SD card? How about a purposefully corrupted filesystem on the SD card? [[User:ploogle|Ploogle]] 17:29, 24 May 2009 (GMT -8:00)

== Dsi Homebrew via DS Download play? ==

Wouldn't it be possible to develope an app for Wii, which sends a kind of Installer via WiFi to the dsi and then dowload and run it with DS download play? The Wii can send things to the DS(i) so the connectivity is given, isn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Shadowchao|Shadowchao]] ([[User talk:Shadowchao|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Shadowchao|contribs]]) 03:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Sounds umm... interesting, but it would be inconvenient for users who don't own a wii [[User:TwoBladedKnight|TwoBladedKnight]] 09:49, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

:Quite probably impossible, for the time being at least, unless there is an exploitable buffer overflow in download play. It was originally possible on an original DS with older firmware (using WiFiMe), but this was patched long ago, before even the DSi came out. [[User:Muzer|Muzer]] 15:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

== Image Exploit ==

well the above topic about opera got me thinking. And while the opera exploit is a possibility (i think), couldnt we just use a ChickHEN like exploit, except for DSi. (ChickHEN is an exploit using images for PSP). I dont know the details on the workings of ChickHEN, but someone might want to check it out. --[[User:ChuckBartowski|ChuckBartowski]] 05:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
