WTF! DarkFader has competition.

Michael at auia.net has made a setup that allows you to load arm7 and arm9 code from the GBA port on the DS. This is his first graphical demo and unless I am mistaken the first Nitnendo DS demo yet. Make sure to click through to the page describing the process.

Assuming this isn't a hoax - it is huge news for the homebrew scene! If we can run DS code from the plentiful writable cartridges then we're sitting pretty for homebrew.

This could be the boost we've been waiting for...

Now just make it compacter and more mainstream, and we're done. No?

P.S. How is dark fader having a competition? Dark fader didn't even make the demo, Joat did.

So far few have been able to load their own code onto the DS. DF partially did it when he modified the Metroid game and now Joat did the demo also Dovoto too I think. Hope that clears it up.
