As always, Wikipedia is useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS_homebrew (Also note that, questioning about Homebrew on a forum is not a great idea, since it might be "borderline illegal".

Maybe this is not true in countries like China, Libya, Iran, or the USA, but this forum is hosted in the Netherlands.

I mean Im not talking about bootlegging DS games, Im talking about things like being able to put pictures on my DS, or indie games, etc. Thank you for the wikipedia link. |
