Development Diary : DSision2
The 'Bigger, better, longer' version of DSision
I thought I'd set up a blog specifically for DSision2, so I'll be directing people to this entry instead of random sites and videos(Jay, you can expect an extra four or five hits per month ).


What is DSision 2?

DSision [di-iszh-uh n] (named by Jayenkai) is a replacment firmware for Nintendo DS flash carts. At the time of creation, most flash cart firmwares presented the user with a fairly simple, menu system, usually just a list of filenames on the screen. I aimed to remedy this, by creating a nice looking, easy to use interface for loading homebrew programs on the DS. The first version of DSision, although reasonably popular, was rushed and not entirely what I had envisioned. So after a while, I started work on the second version, which boasts higher resolution icons, greater colour depth for both backgrounds and icons. More customizable themes, including the customization of every single icon.

When will I release it ?

I have no idea I'm afraid, my work on DSision2 has slowed recently, but fear not, DSision 2 is in a stable state and almost fully functional (some of it's 'extra' features don't fully work yet) and perfectly usable, so if I do give up on it, I will release it as-is, most likely including the source for anyone who might want to continue the project.

What does this awesome program look like?

Here area a couple of videos and screenshots...

What features does DSision 2 have?

Works on R4DS (a popular, yet outdated flash cart)
Larger, higher resolution, higher colour depth icons
Custom icons per file/folder
GBA support through EZ 3-in-1
EZ 3-in-1 RAM unlocking




DSision2_08FEB09.rar.

DSision2_26_April_09.rar(latest build).




If anyone hasn't yet, you can vote for DSision2 in the R4 homebrew contest here.

You see the picture on the top to the right. Right under neath the commodore images. How did you get the bottom menu to laod like that. I want to try to incorporated into the Wii gui usb loader. So the boxart images do excatly what your images do.

It uses the ds's 3d hardware to change the shape if the icons, they are rendered onto a 3d object and the corners repositioned depending on how far across the screen they are. There are quite a few tutorials on the web for coding the 'coverflow' effect.

Hey Spinal, first off let me thank you for the great work on DSision. second i hope you can help me solve an issue.

im running DSision on my DSlite and R4 as a firmware replacement. it appears DSision is just ignoring the skins on load up tho. it always boots into the ipod one and sometimes even refuses to let me select another theme while running the program.

thanks in advance

Have you tried both of the versions from the top of this page?

DSision2_08FEB09.rar.

DSision2_26_April_09.rar(latest build).

If you still have a problem with these two versions, I'll upload the one directly from my own card, which is working fine for me.

I don't know, what do you mean by "it doesnt work"?

Problem:
I have the problem where my DS ignores the skin that I choose, so it always comes up on the iPod skin.
I tried deleting all other skins except the DSi skin but it starts on a green screen.
Then I renamed the DSi skin to iPod and it works but the text is really funny.

Still, love Dsision2, think its awesome.

Also, I kinda made a DSi skin myself [well, updated your one].
It has better icons and stuff, just minor improvements.
But I need permission to release it right?

Finally, are you still working on Dsision2?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe try the DSision2_08FEB09.rar version?

You can release your skin when/where ever you like. There are no restrictions, no permission needed.

Sadly I am no longer working on DSision2

Hello Everyone!
I just bought a card on line which is supposed to be a R4-SDHC card. I installed Dsision and YSMenu (see pic) but I still can't get it to boot. All I get is a red Question Mark Sign with the word "Menu".
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Some R?4 cards are not R4's at all, most in fact, are cheap clones, others are clones of different cards and just use the R4 name for popularity. It is possible that your card is a clone of a different card, perhaps someone over at gbatemp.net might be able to help, they seem to know a lot about R4 cards and such. But looking at the pic, it looks like you don't have the system software on the card, which, if your card is a genuine R4/clone should have a system folder and a couple of other files. Maybe this page will help - http://www.r4sdhc.com/down.asp

I'm using a TTDS with an 8GB SDHC card, and all it does is give me white screens. Is there any way to get Dsision support for SDHC card formats?

Spinal's already had MAJOR issues with Source Code theft, so I doubt he's about to post any code any time soon. (search at GBATemp for DSision3)

Additionally, I'm sure Spinal won't mind me saying that he's not the world's best bet for backing things up (have a hunt around here!!) so any "latest" DSision could have all manner of crazy bugs in it

I'm currently not using any version of DSision, a bad advert for myself I know, but I am working on DSisoin3 (the real DSision3 that is, called DScovered.

No releases yet? SDHC support would be nice
Do you plan to share the code?

Nice work, please don't leave it!
