Greetings to ufo, lasscat, togemet2, Rolfie, HudU, xp, Haifisch, MaxiBash, NinjaCheetah, DamiDoop, scalr, pancake, and collection_nintendo! Thanks to everyone across the web who has dumped, mirrored, or documented these programs. This entire website was designed and created by me, and me alone (unless you count stack overflow). Sure, it's barely working, but at least it looks nicer and has more information than any other public sites. Y'all need to remember that there's more than just TwlNmenu and NandFiler. Also just include damn links! These programs don't do any good when you can't download and use them. Oh well, at least I've fixed that now... unless you're on my GBAtemp branch. Sorry for the stripped down site. I don't have much of a choice with silly terms of service and DMCA stuff.

Various development NANDs released

8 new NANDs and 1 dev cart have been jointly released with @collection_nintendo, me, MaxiBash, and xp. These NAND dumps are mainly consist of test Classroom DSis, used later in development for attempt at augmented reality. Check it out!


Welcome to random meaningless characters!

This is a work in progress archive of Nintendo DS(i) development and factory software. This is not only a collection of files, but also full documentation to match.

My archive includes anything used in the production of the DS or DSi (eg. diagnostic and setup tools), software bundled with the SDK, prototype and development software, and any tests used for debugging.

I've researched and released a few prototypes through this site, so please get in touch if you've got a development cart/unit in need of dumping.

Most of the pages here are written by me and me alone. As such, there's a good chance I'm missing or have incorrect information. If you have time to contribute, please check out the edit button on the top of each page or tell me what's wrong.
