|
||||
Slot-1 access is blocked when launching applications from the System Menu, except if said applications is either the Slot-1 launcher itself or System Settings. In order to launch normally unlaunchable slot-1 cartridges, you'll need to either make a System Settings exploit or install Unlaunch. Without either of those, you cannot launch unlaunchable flashcarts and you cannot dump ROMs to your SD card.

|
||||
|
||||
Before 1.4.0, the white list used to contain only two sections. In 1.4.0, they've introduced a third section which was made to block flashcarts that got around the first two. The third section loads up to eight different section of the rom and checks them with a hash to see if the rom has been tampered with. However, due to the forgetfullness of putting any sanity check, we can overflow into the exception vector/interrupt address using a large enough value. Best of all, this runs on ARM7 (aka the security processor) so this makes it the first exploit for the ARM7 processor. Since this happens before the lock out of the SFCG registers, we could run advanced homebrew (such as Slot-1 dumpers & external slot-1 dumpers)

Unfortunately, the requirements are tight. It requires version 1.4.0 and a flashcart with a modified ROM. Also, the expoit never officially came out, due to Unlaunch being much simpler to install and having less requirements (just a way to get into homebrew) with the same advantages.

### Nintendo DSi Camera
|
||||
The Nintendo DSi Camera application has the ability to take pictures in the JPEG and save them to either the System Memory or the SD card. The way it's loaded restricts it to only DSi made images, due to lacking the proper HMAC stored inside a custom EXIF tag. Any custom images are not readable on the DSi, wther its PC taken or PC edited.

|
||||
|
||||
A `pit.bin` file is used in order to load images. However, the header size at offset 0x16 is unchecked, so a big enough header size value can exceed boundaries and cause the buffer to overwrite and jump to unsigned code. This is how Memory Pit is powered.

### Nintendo DSi Bootstage 2
|
||||
The second bootstage of the Nintendo DSi loads launcher's "title.tmd" into memory. However, they do not specify a filesize limit check, meaning that the first 80k bytes are loaded into RAM while the rest can be a custom payload. This is the basis of Unlaunch exploit.

|
||||
|

- **SD Card libraries:** devKitPro recommends libfat. We recommend using libslim instead, as it allows usage of different partitions, quicker speeds and non-blocking.
|

- **Graphic Library:** We recommend using easyGL2D, which comes shipped with libnds. However, you could use NightFox Lib.
|

- **Entire Toolchains:** We recommend using devKitARM and libnds, as it includes DSi compatibility and has a larger ecosystem. However, if your target is exclusively flashcarts on a Nintendo DS, feel free to use ToolchainGenericDS.

### Flashcards

DS mode flashcards are a slot-1 method of running Nintendo DS applications. Flashcarts have the advantages of keeping console files and portable files separate, the ability to be used without modding your system and are usable on DS Phat/Lite consoles. However, unlike modding the actual console, there are multiple flashcarts on the market, each with different kernel requirements. The kernel you use is the most important.

Thankfully, a flag is not set anywhere and it's handled in the flashcard firmware, giving us two options for workarounds:
|
||||
|
||||
- Since it relies on the system clock, you could set back the date. This will break any game that uses your system clock, but it will allow you to use the default kernel.
|
||||
- Since it relies on the kernel and not the firmware, you could switch to an alternative kernel. There are two options available:
|
||||
- [YSmenu](https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/) -- The menu is quite ugly and only displays `.nds` files, but it has far better game support, cheat support and no memory pak requirement.
|
||||
- [TWiLight Menu++](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu) with B4DS -- This is useful if you'd like to have all your ROMs in the same menu that you could launch NES, GBA and other console titles too. However, it does require a Memory Expansion Pak for extended game compatibility and does not support cheats.

- [TWiLight Menu++](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu) -- This is useful if you'd like to have all your ROMs from various consoles in the same menu, there are two ways to run DS games with TWiLight Menu++:
|

- With B4DS: Requires a Memory Expansion Pak for extended game compatibility and does not support cheats. But works on all flashcards that TWiLight Menu++ does
|
||||
- With YSMenu: Gets the compatibility benefits of YSMenu with the better menu of TWiLight Menu++, however, cheats are not supported currently
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend YSMenu due to the higher compatibility, cheats and lack of need for a Memory Expansion Pak. If you want to setup YSMenu, DeadSkullzJr has made a [Dropbox repo](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/egadrhxj8gimu5t/AACv2KqWmeXEHkxoYRluobxha?dl=0) with all the primary boot kernels set up for your flashcart. All it requires is a drag and drop to your SD card root and you have completed.
|
||||
- You could still lanuch into TWiLight Menu++ for an all-in-one menu for emulators, but you can't launch into YSMenu from TWiLight Menu++.

Instructions on how to install TWiLight Menu++ are [on the flashcard install page](../twilightmenu/installing-flashcard).

||||
|
||||
- For nds-bootstrap's purposes, you could load a `.IPS` file in order to circumvent said patches. This `.IPS` file will be patched inside nds-bootstrap, so you could keep the ROM files intact. A pack of `.IPS` files are automatically included with TWiLight Menu++.

|

- For Wood R4 purposes, these patches are included in the software itself. You will not need to modify the ROM itself.

In case there isn't a `.IPS` file for your ROM or your software didn't patch your ROM, you could try directly modifying the ROM itself using [nds-scene tool](https://gbatemp.net/download/retrogamefan-nds-rom-tool-v1-0_b1215.35735/)
