Did some experiments with my DS Lite and ended up with this. Using DevkitPro libs (libnds, dswifi, calico). Apfel on macOS and a wifi (WEP) bridge running on a RPi Zero 2W. ๐Ÿ–ค

That's a really neat and fun project!

I have a back DSLite that I got the new OS cart for and I've been having fun loading it up with emulators and my favorite games from the past. I love how there is such a vibrant community around DSLite hacking.

You should certainly keep doing projects like this and sharing them. I'm glad you shared it because I love hacking projects. However for me this is not on topic for selfhosting even if it is still a very cool project.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments. It means a lot to me. :)

The only reason why I did this project was because someone showed up in my feed with a post about a DS Lite hack. We're all inspiring each other haha :D

However for me this is not on topic for selfhosting

I'm always struggling to find the right community for posting. Which place would be the best?

Which place would be the best?

The first place to jumps to mind for me is https://hackaday.com/ and if there is a Threadiverse comm for these kinds of projects I would also like to find it.
