Now, this won’t do you any good on games that make constant use of both the top and bottom DS displays, but for many titles, the bottom screen was used for little more than a map or inventory display that you only need to glance at occasionally. With just three wires and a simple switch, you can select which signal gets fed into the bottom screen in real-time with no image degradation. ![]() It turns out that there are two test points on the original DS motherboard where you can pick up the signal for the top and bottom screens respectively. But as shows, it’s actually possible to play DS games on a Game Boy Macro if you do a little extra soldering. Naturally, DS games that were designed to use both screens would no longer be playable. Video after the break.Ĭontinue reading “Cramming A DS Inside A Gameboy” → Posted in Games, handhelds hacks, Nintendo DS Hacks, Nintendo Game Boy Hacks, Nintendo Hacks Tagged Case mod, gameboy, nintendo, Nintendo DSīuilding a so-called “Game Boy Macro” is a great way to salvage a Nintendo DS that has a broken hinge or top screen, as the system only needs the lower display to play Game Boy Advance games. But you might be asking, why? Why shove one handheld inside another handheld? Sometimes it’s to gain new functionality like this Raspberry Pi inside a PSP body. Overall, it’s pretty impressive to see Mario Kart DS running on both screens on the tiny handheld. Finally, after reseating a display connection and some careful soldering, it booted and started playing games. ![]() The fix ended up being a few wires that came loose during shipping. Testing various points and swapping components got closer to the root problems. ![]() So for to get inside to start troubleshooting involved a razor blade and patience. The original screw mounts had to be removed and the case glued back together to fit the DS motherboard. received the custom handheld from, which was somewhat damaged in shipping. Unfortunately, this mod lost touch screen functionality, limiting some of the games you can play. The chassis for this mod is a humble Gameboy color with a Gameboy SP screen tackled on the top to serve as the secondary display. Whether it’s turducken or a Nintendo DS inside a Gameboy, the result is always unexpected. Many holiday recipes and console hacks share a common theme: cramming a thing inside another thing. If you’re looking for a more exotic way to crack into a DSi, perhaps this EM glitching attack might tickle your fancy?Ĭontinue reading “Breaking Into The Nintendo DSi Through The (Browser) Window” → Posted in Nintendo DS Hacks, Security Hacks Tagged exploit, nintendo dsi, opera, webkit If you want to give it a shot on your own DSi, all you need to do is point the system’s browser to. The actual payload is designed to execute a boot.nds file from the SD card, such as a homebrew launcher. In modern browsers a good way to allocate a chunk of memory and fill it would be a Float32Array, but since this is a 2008 browser, a smattering of RGBA canvases will do. For this he employed what’s known as a NOP sled basically a long list of commands that do nothing, which if jumped into, will slide into his exploit code. Now that he had an address to jump to, he just had to get his code into the right spot. This allowed him to identify the use-after-free bugs that he was looking for. First he used the WebKit layout tests to get the browser into weird edge cases, and then tracked down an Windows build of Opera 9.50 that he could run on his system under WINE. To put this plan into action, he put together two great ideas. reasoned an exploit in this browser would be an ideal entry point, as there’s no OS or kernel to get past - once you get execution, you control the system. When the Nintendo DSi was released in 2008, one of its notable features was a built-in version of the Opera 9.50 web browser. ![]() The Nintendo DSi was surpassed by newer and better handhelds many years ago, but that doesn’t stop people like from attempting to break into the old abandoned house through a rather unexpected place: the (browser) window.
