I was browsing through the r4 forums and saw this post from TrolleyGuy. Original link/post can be found here http://forums.r4ds.net/showthread.php?t=587 This looks slick and once fully developed could be pretty neat.

===============================================

Here's a program I've been working on for a couple of days now. It's at a stage where it's perfectly usable so I thought I'd release it. I use it myself for copying my files onto my card and easy retrieval of my saves.

It's a little sloppy looking and there's bugs in there, but as long as you use the program as it's intended it'll work fine. There's no support for RAR files at the moment, just ZIP and NDS files. If someone can point me toward a visual unrar component for Delphi it could be added pretty quickly. I haven't coded in over 10 years so you'll have to bear with me!

The program can automatically install the firmware onto the MicroSD card for you. Also saves can be imported from the MicroSD card to the programs save library with just 1 button. You can also use the program to install skins that are contained in ZIP files. There's no preview at the minute, for some reason Delphi won't load from the BMP files. This will be fixed as soon as possible, but the option for installing the skin works.

The program also contains a homebrew installation utility for emulators, apps and games. The ones included at the moment are SNemulDS, picoDrive, dsDoom, DSOrganize, ComicBookDS, Beup and DSAim. There might be 1 or 2 more I can't remember. Leave a list of programs that are working on the R4DS and where to get them and I'll include them in an update pack.

When you run the program for the first time it'll ask you to choose the directory that the program was installed/unpacked into. You have to get this right or the program won't run correctly. If this happens you have to delete the R4_Commander key from the registry and re-run it.

Remember that this is a kind of working preview release so people can see where I'm going with it.

Very interesting might be something to watch in a few releases... Right now it doesn't seem to do enough though to warrant getting that I couldn't manage to do myself.
