After few weeks of silence, Stravingo presents his latest Nintendo DS homebrew project. It’s called “Miniville DS Manager” and your job is, just like in Sim City, to built up a city.

Unfortunatly most information is available in french language, so if you can speak french, head over there and gain additional information.

This application lets you boot homebrew in your DS using a wifi connection. It sets a TCP connection with the server app and this sends the app to boot, the client writes it in the SD using libfat and then it’s booted using bootlib1.3.

This application has been tested in DSTT, but it should work with any other slot-1 flashcart and slot-2 flashcarts if you patch the correspondant files with DLDI patcher.

You have more info in the README file.
