DS-DOS *updated to .45*
« on: March 15, 2008, 05:21:14 PM »

Nickname: wolped
Project name : DS-DOS
From : Minnesota, USA
Division : NDS APP
Original enter : YES
Support Motion : NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Project description: DS-DOS is an MS-DOS type clone, featuring a command line interface.

Latest Version .45

(iDeaS cut off part of the picture)

The rest is from the readme:

DS-DOS a MS-DOS clone by Shawn Winkels.

Version .45
-Fixed names larger than 6 characters (thanks cornaljoe)
-Fixed bug that stopped hardware if fat3.dldi wasn't found

Version .41
-Added Ability to copy files between cards

Version .21
-Added NeoFlash compo splash screen

Version .20

-Fixed some copy problems
-Cleaned up "dir" command
-Added "lock" and "ulok"
-Added restart by pressing Start
-"cd" is still broken
-sound is still broken

DS-DOS is a first filebrowser of it's kind. This text-based application will allow
you to view/copy/move/delete/rename files on your memory card or built-in memory.
It also allows you to boot other .nds binaries (users of certain cards may have
trouble with this). Don't forget to DLDI patch it.

Currently Implemented Commands (case-sensitive)
date      displays the date
time      displays the time
cls      clears the screen
help      displays help
ver      displays DS-DOS version
del      allows deleting of files
copy      allows copying of files
move      allows moving of files
ren      allows renaming of files
dir      displays a list of files and directories in current directory
cd      change the current directory
lock      locks the filesystem, preventing use of del/copy/move/ren
ulok      unlocks the filesystem allowing use of del/copy/move/ren

To boot any .nds file, just type the filename (myndsfile.nds). If it is currently
in a folder, you will have to type the full path unless the folder it resides in
is the current working directory (folder\myndsfile.nds).

To use the extra device, you must have a dldi file called "fat3.dldi", which is a
renamed dldi file of the other device you want to use. To boot an .nds file on the
other device, you would type "fat3:\myndsfile.nds". Copying, renaming, moving, and
deleting all work this same way.

For some reason, typing any commands larger than five characters long, may break
certain commands. To fix this, press Start to restart DS-DOS (file must be named
dos.nds).

Thanks to: TeenDev for bootlib; Chishm for libfat; cornaljoe for character fix:
Everyone involved with devkitPro and PAlib; And to all Nintendo DS homebrewers.

Not that anyone else in the world needs this, but I would love you forever if this was able to copy things across cards.

Example: launch it from one micoSD and then copy a file, take it out, and insert a different and it writes on the new one.

Actually in the latest version (on my crashed computer, hope I get it working by tomorrow), there is support for two devices using two dldi patches (DLDI and DLDS). So there is actually C:\ and D:\. But I guess that doesn't matter right now because it isn't up yet.

I've never head of DLDS, is it access to the DS's RAM? Because that would serve my needs, no?

If you fulfill my needs, I will vote for your app. Even if a full-speed Wii™ emulator for the DS™ is entered. Grin

DLDS was something cornaljoe used in DSBrowser which enabled copying across different devices in slot-1 and slot-2. It is essentially a Secondary DLDI patch.

It is pretty convenient, but since my old data is unrecoverable, I'm trying something else now. Also, if nobody else enters this category, you will be forced to vote for me. Mwahahahahaha, *coughs* ahem...

Don't be so sure. I started a thread about that, and like 15 people told me entries pour in on the due date. And some of them were mean about it… *sniffle*

Is fat3:\ a SLOT-2 device, or the DS RAM?

fat3: is whatever dldi you have on the root of your card.

Explanation:

Let's pretend you have a Max Media Dock in slot-2 (doesn't that suck). The name for the MMD DLDI is "mmcf.dldi". You must rename this to "fat3.dldi" and put it on the root of your slot-1 card. Then when you run DS-DOS, it will autoload the MMD DLDI and set it to "fat3:". This method is much easier than DLDS patching, and much quicker too.
