NDS BIOS! (no asked!)

2 bits of news for ya'll:

1. FluBBa, with the help of Loopy, Costis, CaitSith & Martin Korth has released 'NDSBiosDumper', so now you can dump your DS's BIOS for your own personal use (such as the upcoming NO$NDS).

It requires:
1 x Homebrew Capable Nintendo DS
1 x NDS capable GBA flash cart with SRAM

2. If you don't have the requirements, Team COSBY has released Nintendo_DS_System_BIOS_NDS-COS, which contains, as far as we can tell, proper dumps of both the ARM7 and ARM9 NDS bios. Also, COSBY included the GBA BIOS in the pack.

[ Nintendo_DS_System_BIOS_NDS-COS ]

Cos and the kids join the NDS guys with this little
release. Here are the BIOS from Nintendo's fine new
handheld. I also included the proper BIOS dump from
the GBA, because it seems everyone is using crap dumps.
I named all the files for easy use with NO$GBA/NO$NDS.

There ya go. :] GBA BIOS was dumped from an original GBA,
not SP or Micro or whatever. NDS BIOS' were dumped from
a grey, US/NTSC DS with FlashMev5 flashed over a revision
2 firmware. I doubt it makes any difference, but just in
case. Also, dumps were made, trimmed down, and compared
3x with the same result, so it should be fantabulous.

I am not affiliated with the following people, but would
like to thank them for their fine work that made this
release possible:

*DarkFader for DumpRom
*Loopy, Costis, CaitSith, Martin Korth, & FluBBa for NDSBiosDumper

- Peace.

No link for the BIOS pack, as it is © Nintendo. However, if you're a rebel, the filename is cos-bios.zip. Happy hunting.


PS: If you don't know what a BIOS is, then none of this is of use to you.

It is very helpful for NDS emulators as well.

Nice post Rockmangames. And it sounds like you got your english sorted out in that post too!

Thanks! What do you mean "And it sounds like you got your english sorted out in that post too!" ?

[GCFreak]

Now you can type english properly now.

[RockmanForte]

Not always but thanks.

As you mentioned above, this should help with DS support on NO$GBA, but will it do anything else for us?
