I wanted to start a thread that will help out users with little tidbits that people have discovered on how to fix remedy or just an example of things they found to make the SCDS1 run smoother. Feel free to post your findings as well.

EDIT: I will move all working suggestions to the first post to simplify finding solutions.


From the global.ini file in the scshell folder
*************************************************************
Here is one i found that was really annoying me.

Remove File Information Window

The "File Infomation //MPCF 0foiles." menu (spelling correct) that pops up when you turn on your DS. To fix this change the following

; Show/Hide windows. (0=Show, 1=Hide)
; Ý’肳‚ꂽŠe�'E�'B�'“�'h�'E‚ð”ñ•\Ž¦‚É‚µ‚Ü‚·B

hiddenAboutWindow=1
hiddenHelpWindow=1
hiddenDateTimeWindow=1
hiddenInfoWindow=0 <---Change this to a 1

*************************************************************
Here are a few that might help you out also.

For smoother video play, i feel it is still a good idea to change the following settings to below.

Dithering=1 <---Change this to a 0
GOPSkip=1 <---Change this to a 0
AdaptiveDelayControl=1 <---Change this to a 0

*************************************************************
Change Date and time (For those in the USA).

FormatDate=YYYY/MM/DD <---Change this to MM/DD/YYYY

RTC24Hour=1  <---Change this to a 0 for 12hr clock

Well there is a start to what I have found in the short period tonight I have had time to play with my SCDS1.

*************************************************************

Here is one more (but you may not like the results).

To get rid of the supercard Graphic on the top screen.

; 1.2 FileSelectSubScreen = [0|1] (Default = 1)

; Defines which screen is used to display FileBrowser.
; 0 = touchscreen (lower screen)
; 1 = normal screen (upper screen)

; �'t�'@�'C�'‹�'Š�'X�'g�'E�'B�'“�'h�'E‚ð•\Ž¦‚·‚é�'p�'l�'‹‚ð�'�'C�'“‚Æ�'T�'u‚©‚ç‘I‘ð‚µ‚Ü‚·B
; 0=�'^�'b�'`�'p�'l�'‹(‰º‰æ�"Ê), 1=’ʏí‰æ�"Ê(ã‰æ�"Ê)

FileSelectSubScreen=0 <---Change this to a 1

The result is there is now no touch screen to go to menus, and the menu is driven by direction pad. Basically this is what moonshell is, before the SCDS1. This invokes the c_file.bmp to the top screen and the desktop.bmp to the bottom screen.

If you leave it as a 0 and want to change the bottom graphic, you need to change the c_file.bmp file (I know just above i said the opposite, but hey I don't write the software, i just tried it out thinking it would change the top but only the bottom changed). That is just the way it is.

*************************************************************

i hated the screensaver so i deleted the 3 clk files in the plugin folder
then upped the BacklightTimeout to 30
[BacklightTimeout]

; Specified number. (unit of sec)
; Anything turns off the backlight when there is no key input.
; WhenStandby=FileClosed WhenPicture=BMP/Jpeg etc. WhenText=Text WhenSound=NSF/MP3 etc.
; Žw’è•b”�'L[“ü�"Í‚ª‚È‚¢‚Æ‚«‚É�'o�'b�'N�'‰�'C�'g‚ðÁ“”‚µ‚Ü‚·BŽž�'v�'v�'‰�'O�'C�'“‚ª‚ ‚é‚Æ‚«‚ÍŽž�'v‚ð•\Ž¦‚µ‚Ü‚·B

WhenStandby=30
WhenPicture=30
WhenText=30
WhenSound=30

*************************************************************

To turn on/off the clock graphic, do it here:

[ClockPlugin]

; 11.1 Enabled = [0|1] (Default = 1)

; Displaying the clock plug-in.
; 0 = Hide
; 1 = Display

; Žž�'v�'v�'‰�'O�'C�'“‚ð�"L�'ø‚É‚µ‚Ü‚·B
; 0=�"³�'ø, 1=�"L�'ø

Enabled=1 <---Change this to 0

*************************************************************

For all those annoyed by trying to press the superkey option under the Other menu and accidentally selecting a game or other, here is a quick and easy fix.

Make superkey easy to activate

On your PC, open the scshell folder and copy the file called superkey.nds and then past it in the root directory.

Now if you want to go to any slot 2 device, just select the superkey.nds and there you go.

This works well for me as I have jsut two folders in the root that show up (all other are hidden like moonshl) Movies and Games.

Thanks onekelly!

Do you happen to know what the difference between these two are?
;0|1|2|3|4
;0 1X ,1 2X,2 3X,3 4X,4 5X,5 other
SCSDSpeed=5
;1-32
;8 1X ,16 2X,21 3X,28 4X,32 5X
SCSDSpeedValue=32

I set both to 5X so the games run fast.

[mikesinclair]

isn't there something to get rid of that quick warning screen that pops up on start-up?
I thought I saw somewhere

edit
i skinned it the day i got it as well

[bcjks]

I did this:

Dithering=1 <---Change this to a 0
GOPSkip=1 <---Change this to a 0
AdaptiveDelayControl=1 <---Change this to a 0

and when the SC DS booted up, it went straight to moonshell... Weird.  Anyone have the same problem?

[onekelly]

bcjks, I have that and did not get that error. Make sure you did not accidentally changed something else or delete a setting.

[Altor]

"FormatDate=YYYY/MM/DD <---Change this to MM/DD/YYY " Should fix this, might confuse a newbie.

If you turn off the DS while you're watching a video or something, and you turn it back on, SCDS will resume playing whatever it was playing.

Thanks altor, fixed it.

Anyone know how to delay the DSOne screensaver/clock in the GUI? Not REMOVE it. It pops up in like 2 seconds! I looked thru the global.ini but I didn't see anything for the screensaver time out. I'm using version 1229.

To turn on/off the clock graphic, do it here:

[ClockPlugin]

; 11.1 Enabled = [0|1] (Default = 1)

; Displaying the clock plug-in.
; 0 = Hide
; 1 = Display

; Žž�'v�'v�'‰�'O�'C�'“‚ð�"L�'ø‚É‚µ‚Ü‚·B
; 0=�"³�'ø, 1=�"L�'ø

Enabled=1 <---Change this to 0

I saw that too.  But the clock is cool but comes up too fast.  Thanx!  You are VERY helpful!

[Hi]

Just a suggestion for later.

This thread is very hard to follow, so maybe once all is said and done, most issues with the ini file worked out, we could turn this into a howto.

[onekelly]

Hi, I will do that when all worked out in a week or two. But for now, I will compile the tips in the first post as they come in.
