The website by junkers for junkers. Greetings to ufo, lasscat, togemet2, miagique, HudU, xp, Haifisch, MaxiBash, Mythra, RedBees, March42, NinjaCheetah, DamiDoop, k66, scalr, pancake, Voodooween, Kelly, MarioDS64, Fritz, MrPinball64, j4m13c0, Dionicio3, Rairii, collection_nintendo, Lorenzooone, and Garhoogin! Thanks to everyone across the web who has dumped, mirrored, or documented these programs. This entire website was designed by me, and me alone (unless you count stack overflow (and if you ignore DamiDoop the icon maker)). 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. Now you can run all official DS brickers and NAND editing tools... oh. Maybe there's a reason not everything gets shared. Good luck staying safe! In other news, this site is fully self hosted! No more big companies limiting what I can do!

News: PokeWalker factory tests released!

Thanks to ufo, we just got some PokeWalker test software. The tools, "PHC PRODUCT TEST", use a DS to set up PokeWalkers!

Welcome to random meaningless characters!

Welcome! This site is focused on documenting every single DS/DSi factory and development app, as well as prototype firmwares and hardware. We have the largest collection of apps publicly available, the most accurate information, and things you'll have never heard of. We also do prototype/dev releases, so if you have any cartridges or development units, get in touch
