log / notes on nds hacking


I copied the code for UXN from here:

https://github.com/asiekierka/uxnds/releases/download/v0.3.6/uxnds036.zip

It didn't load, reading the read me
I should use a different launcher here:

https://github.com/devkitPro/nds-hb-menu/releases

I used a different sd card so not to delete all
my games and saves I had previously installed.

Rusty on my tar flag I had to search for this:

tar -xf hbmenu-0.7.1.tar.bz2

Which didn't launch at first, I then formated
to ntfs with a smaller cluster size as I read:

"
It appears to be related to cluster size.
if you have a 32GB (this could effect any capacity
card though) formatted to anything beyond 8192K
cluster size, hbMenu will fail to boot anything.
"

So I ran:

sudo mkfs.ntfs -c 4096  /dev/mmcblk0p1

On my sd card, which was awfully slow, so
I crash stop this and reformated the card to
fat16 (4gb only) and copied back the files.

This gave me even less feedback on the error,
no error whatsoever, just the EZ-V plus splash
screen.

So I started to search about the EZ-V plus card,
and downloaded the latest firmware just in case...

Then started to copy file from my working card
to the root folder hoping that might fix things.

Multiple error later...

I got to do that too:

sudo mkdosfs /dev/(device name from above) -s 64 -F 32
