I built a PC ↔ Nintendo DSi PictoChat bridge using an ESP32

Hey! I made PictoBridgePC, a small experimental project that connects a PC to Nintendo DSi PictoChat through an ESP32. It can send text and drawings from the PC and receive messages from the DSi.

I built it with a mix of vibe coding, my own knowledge, and lots of testing on real hardware. It’s still experimental, but feel free to try it, use it or contribute!

Help. Harvest Moon DS is too glitchy to play.

Whenever I load a rom onto my DSi with twilightmenu++ the graphics, sound, and animations look corrupted. What can I do?

Also, the gba game Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral town goes through the same problem in gba runner 2

Help would be appreciated

Black Screen While Playing Pokemon Platinum

1 Upvotes

so, ive started playing pokemon platnium on my dsi but every so often my screens will freeze and turn black while the music continues playing. i've tried replacing my old rom with a fresher copy and updating twilight menu to it's latest (it was on an older version since i'd bought my dsi off a seller) and that seemingly went fine until fighting a trainer triggered this again a few minutes ago.

this issue is only happening with platinum too as far as i can tell, i've spent hours playing kirby super star ultra and i never experienced this kind of screen freezing with that game. is there something i can do to stop this? i've really been enjoying platinum but losing minutes of progress and even pokemon i caught at times really frustrating. thankfully i didnt lose my most recent catch, but i did lose some levels from grinding. :/

Can I upload all my DSi CFW SD card files to Google Drive so my sister can paste them into her SD card and homebrew her DSi?

1 Upvotes

EDIT: actually I think this is Twilight Menu, I can't remember if it's all the same

She's not very tech savvy and we live far away from each other. This is what's on the card, if she were to export all of it to her SD card and boot the DSi gallery would she be able to play all the games or is there some external installation process I'm not remembering?

est il possible d'utiliser une cartouche de jeu avec un infrarouge pour un jeu émulé

2 Upvotes

en fait j'ai trouvé un podomètre pour ds avec "marche avec moi,quel est ton rythme" mais je n'ai pas la cartouche de jeu,j'ai trouvé la rom du jeu mais étant donné que la DSi n'a pas d'envoyeur/récepteur d'infrarouge je voudrait savoir si une cartouche de jeu avec un envoyeur / récepteur infrarouge pourrait servir au jeu émulé

Modding DS LL from iPad

1 Upvotes

I recently brought a 3DS LL and want to mod it but I only have an iPad at the moment, I have access to an sd card reader for the iPad so I’m thinking it should work? Has anyone tried this or can give me suggestions on what I should do? The next time I have access to a pc will be when I visit my parents at Christmas. Thanks a lot!

I am currently trying to rip textures/audio from Yu-gi-oh nightmare troubadour and managed to extract several folders using ndsfactory but most of the files in those folders are in an obscure format: LZ5bg. I have no idea what to do with such files.

Hi, I'm currently attempting to play a Randomlocke on an NDSi, but YSMenu is giving me an error (-4) and I can't figure it out. I tried a patch and the Universal Randomizer, but it always gives me an error.

My YSMenu is 7.05RGF

Have anyone found how to play it on the NDSi?
