A lot of fairly minor changes (see desc)
- I want to get all the formatting and such good and consistent and such before pushing to Crowdin, since this is such a big update took the opportunity to clean up some other old things too
- Removed NightScript from staff list as he has officially retired now
- Un-recommended libslim as it's still rather unstable
- Removed link to NightScript's flashcard page as it's dead
- A lotta little things with consistency of formatting
- Fixes some links being from root which forces English
- Some phrasing changes, particularly removing "we" and "our" and fixing tense inconsistencies ("could" vs "can", "would" vs "will")
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md a bit

## File sizes

Because the decimal base units for file sizes are ambiguous which they actually are, using the binary base units is generally preferred unless something is a clean size in the decimal units. (ex. 500,000 bytes = 500 kB, 512,000 bytes = 500 KiB, 294,966 bytes = (about) 288 KiB)

### CPU speeds
|
||||
The Nintendo DS shipped with a 67 MHz processor in 2004, and the Nintendo DSi shipped with an 133 MHz processor five years later. Most games of the Nintendo DS library were made before the Nintendo DSi came out, and as such the only processor available to them was 67 MHz. Some applications tied themselves to that clock speed and as a result, would not work well with a higher clock speed. Most games, however, would outperform the original with a higher clock speed.

|
||||
|
||||
nds-bootstrap has TWL Clock Speed as an option, but it will not try to adjust the ROM to work properly with the higher clock speed. That's on the application itself, and applications not working with a higher clock speed is NOT a bug on the nds-bootstrap end.
|
||||
|
||||
### Nintendo DSi Menu
|
||||
In version 1.4.0, RSA signatures in the DS Game Card whitelist aren't verified. This is a vulnerability that can be exploited, and it allows you to take access over the ARM9 processor. It requires version 1.4.0 (it was patched in future versions and didn't exist in prior versions) and a flashcard with a modified ROM.
|
||||
|
||||
There is also a known glitch in the way the Nintendo DSi Menu calculates free space that can can cause an error when using the menu not from the original NAND, for more information see the [hiyaCFW troubleshooting page](/hiyacfw/troubleshooting#the-free-space-bug).

|
||||
|
||||
### Nintendo DSi Slot-1 access & blockout
|
||||
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 flashcards and you cannot dump ROMs to your SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
Before 1.4.0, the whitelist contained only two sections. In 1.4.0, they introduced a third section, which was made to block flashcards that got around the first two. The third section loads up to eight different sections of the ROM and checks them with a hash to see if the ROM has been tampered with. However, due to the forgetfulness of putting in 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 SCFG registers, we can 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 flashcard with a modified ROM. The exploit never officially came out, due to Unlaunch being much simpler to install and having fewer requirements (just a way to get into homebrew) with the same advantages.

|
||||
#### RAM Disks
|
||||
- In order for **jEnesisDS, neoDS and SNEmulDS** to work on the DSi SD card, you'll have to use a RAM disk with nds-bootstrap
|
||||
- RAM disk makers exist for jEnesisDS & SNEmulDS and are built into TWiLight Menu++. You will need to create your own RAM disk for neoDS. See [Creating RAM Disks](/twilightmenu/creating-ram-disks) on how to do so
|

### Development
|
||||
|
||||
Developing Nintendo DS Homebrew typically uses devkitPro tools, such as devkitARM, libnds, and libfat. However, there is the possibility to branch out and use alternative software:
|
||||
|
||||
- **SD card libraries:** [devkitPro](https://devkitpro.org/) recommends [libfat](https://github.com/devkitPro/libfat). [libslim](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/libslim/) is recommended instead, as it allows usage of different partitions, quicker speeds, and non-blocking
|
||||
- **Graphics libraries:** [easyGL2D](http://rel.phatcode.net/junk.php?id=117), which comes shipped with libnds, is recommended. However, [NightFox Lib](https://github.com/knightfox75/nds_nflib) can be used instead
|
||||
- **Entire toolchains:** [devkitARM](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started) and [libnds](https://libnds.devkitpro.org/) are recommended, as it includes DSi compatibility and has a larger ecosystem. However, [ToolchainGenericDS](https://bitbucket.org/Coto88/toolchaingenericds) is an option for flashcard-exclusive development
|
||||
- **SD card libraries:** [libfat](https://github.com/devkitPro/libfat) is included in libnds and generally recommended, [libslim](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/libslim/) can sometimes work better but is unstable at times

### Flashcards
|
||||
|
||||
DS mode flashcards are a Slot-1 method of running Nintendo DS applications. Flashcards 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 flashcards on the market, each with different kernel requirements. The kernel you use is the most important.
|
||||
|
||||
[There is a **work in progress** flashcard index](https://nightyoshi370.github.io/mm-github-pages-starter/), which has kernels, firmware, reviews and purchase links.
|
||||
|
||||
### DLDI
|
||||
|
||||
Different SD card slots have different hardware (most of the time) and code written for one card won't necessarily work for another card. DLDI (short for Dynamically Linked Device Interface) attempts to solve this by having the SD card handling code patched in externally. Loaders like YSMenu, Wood R4 and TWiLight Menu++ can automatically DLDI patch a homebrew, but if you need to manually patch it in, feel free to use a [DLDI Patcher](https://www.chishm.com/DLDI#tools) depending on your device.

### Time bomb
|
||||
|
||||
In some flashcard kernels, an arbitrary expiration date (more commonly known as a time bomb) is coded in by the kernel developers as a way to get consumers to buy their latest product. The procedure for how this works is the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The flashcard is booted into and loads up the kernel file from the SD card without checking if it's the kernel intended by the developers

### Assembly

Assembly language is any low-level programming language with a strong connection between the language's instructions and the processor's instructions. On the DS, assembly code comes in the form of either ARM or THUMB instructions, THUMB instructions being a subset of the ARM instructions. THUMB is useful to save memory bandwidth as it uses 16-bit instructions over the regular 32-bit instructions that ARM uses.

### Card read DMA

||||
Card DMA (stands for Direct Memory Access) is a more efficient way to read cartridge data than by software. When there isn't any data available, code can still execute. In software cartridge data reads, polling the register to see if there is new data wastes times. It is the preferred way of accessing data.

Demonstration (Demo) titles are different from their retail counterparts in various ways. The obvious indicator being that the title at hand is a demo of what the retail version would be like, essentially it's a sneak peek at what is coming in the future when the full retail release comes. In the case of the Nintendo DS line, these titles often are marked as "Not for Resale" on the title labels, each demo also sports a different title ID compared to their retail counterparts, on the back of the title's cartridge a "Not for Resale" sticker is also present. These titles are usually just kiosk demos in promotional places in stores and what not.

Distribution titles are a slightly different situation in most cases, however demos can also fit the distribution label for a few titles in the library. Most cases distribution titles are just retail versions of the title(s) that are for display only or come from a promotional packaging of some sort. You can see "Not for Resale" labeled on these types of titles like you can with the demonstration titles. These can sometimes also be used in kiosks for the sake of letting other players test out the title. However knowing that these are essentially the same as their retail counterparts in most cases, they tend to have an extra identifier in the title ID on the label.

- Safely install apps to the Nintendo DSi Menu with 100% DSiWare compatibility
|

- Keep settings separate from the one found in the internal NAND

However, unless you specifically want to use the official Nintendo DSi Menu it is recommended to simply use [TWiLight Menu++](../twilightmenu/) instead as the official menu has many disadvantages such as being more difficult to install games to and slowing down significantly on large SD cards.

If you get issues with using the latest version of nds-bootstrap, here's how you can troubleshoot it.

1. Run the game with different settings, including changing the ARM9 CPU Speed, DS/DSi Mode, sound quality, Card Read DMA, etc

#### Why are there issues with ROM loading, even though they're run natively?
|
||||
nds-bootstrap patches the ROM functions to run from an SD card, as the ROMs are hardcoded to read from Slot-1.
|
||||
There are also timing issues and AP measures (which most are already removed), both of which would cause the ROMs to not work properly.

This happens when you launch GodMode9i from [hiyaCFW](/hiyacfw). You can hold <kbd class="face">X</kbd> while launching GodMode9i to skip NAND mounting. Alternatively, you can launch GodMode9i directly from Unlaunch to be able to mount the NAND.
