I'm a newbie on the DS scene, I'm getting my supercard in a couple of days. I was wondering what's your favorites must have software for the DS. Tell me what I sould be downloading and trying out so I can save some time! I would like a picture viewer, movie player, mp3 player, organiser, web browser, etc... Thanks!

There is no web browser or organizer, but Moonshell covers the rest.

Other useful / neat homebrews include Rain (backup and restore saves from actual carts) and wifilibtest (It doesn't do much now, but it does dect wireless access points, which is interesting.)

I also know of a guy who is writing a homebrew that lets you control the cursor on a Windows machine with the touchscreen on your DS. I don't know much about that one, though.  :wink:

ScummVM is a must, SD support should be coming soon, get it from here

theres a version of drugwars for the ds thats pretty good, but i cant remember where i got it.

The best place for ds news is definately

with most home brew apps you will want to get the ds.gba version and rename it to .nds

Good luck!

oh how could i forget SnesDS is still very much a WIP but hopefully itll get updated one day
