Hey, I was wondering, I have a DS and Im going to buy a Movie player and such, and I was wondering...

What Operating Systems work on the Nintendo DS?
I know theres Linux,
www.http://www.dslinux.org/ (Right now Im using a Emulator and a DS Linux rom to test out the commands and such)

but is there a DOS for the DS?

Windows? Mac?

Thanks,
-Sword

Be careful with ROMs on the DS and ESPECIALLY the DS Lite; Nintendo has equipped all DS Lites and some of the newer DS Bricks (

) with a lockout device if you try to run ROMs, and your DS/Lite will get COMPLETELY screwed. If you want to play them safely, you'll need a passme device. I think Action Replay makes one for the DS; it's about $20, of the same vain as their other Max Media Manager devices. Or, you can run the ROM bare if you're feeling VERY lucky or you're just a DS hater.

As for an OS on the DS, I dunno. Why would you need one, though?

This is only if you use FlashMe on the DS Lite, if done unprotected (lol) it will short out and cause the DS Lite to shut off at 1%, not enough to write the fail safe.

I'm running homebrew with a self-made PassKey 2 conversion, a SuperCard CF, and a DS Lite, and I havn't had any problems. If you just run stuff from sources you trust, you will not get the bricker.

Check out DSLazy, it can scan .NDS files for the bricker.

Can you run SNES ROMs on a DS Lite "unprotected"

with no problems?

this is from dspassme.com

) I believe there is some component within the sl1 hole which is very easy to touch and short out in at least this version of the ds lite (I got mine around May 1, from lik sang, its navy blue). It seems signficiantly easier to short that than it is to short sl1. Whenever that happens the nds turns off. I can easily understand why people are having this happen to them when they have only gotten to 1%. I consider myself very lucky to have gotten to 47% the first time. It literally took me 15-20 tries before I got up to 100%, just to get the correct orientation & size of the tool in the hole, to get sl1 shorted, while not making the ds turn off.

Just FlashMe with a rod of foil that has electrical tape wrapped around it (except for the tip). You won't have problems.

I don't know what you are talking about, it doesn't make sense as you would need an emulator to do that.

I'm talking about running SNES ROMs on a SuperCard, sorry for the confusion.

You still need an emulator...

Man, I'm stupid! I forgot to say I've already got an emu saved on an SD card. I forget what it's called, but I think it's by the same people who made the Goomba emu.
