All week, we've been presenting articles designed to turn homebrew noobs into homebrew ... oldbs. Or something. But there are a lot of DS Fanboy readers who are adept homebrewers, experienced with all kinds of different hardware and software.If you've got questions about homebrewing, let us know! If you're having some kind of problem getting up and running, someone around here, on staff or otherwise (most likely otherwise!) will be able to help. Be warned, though: we don't want to see piracy talk. Legal homebrew only, please! If you're having trouble running commercial DS games from your flash card, good.

About Lone Wolf, I found that you need to DLDI patch it yourself. Then it saves fine.
Patching is not as scary as it sounds - you just need a patch and a patching program. Go to http://dldi.drunkencoders.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

Sorry had to sleep. Now what was it you were wanting me to recommend? Games? I choose DS Doom and Svip.

I use the M3 DS Real. I keep my brightness turned down, because I'm usually playing in dim to poor light anyway, so I get a decent amount of battery life out of it. That being said, I usually play with my DS plugged in whenever I can, so it works. The M3 Real has some menu lag, but runs games perfectly. It's also compatible with more homebrew than the R4 and with the GBA expansion pack you can emulate GBA without buying another card. I feel like it was an upgrade from the R4 to the M3, even it all it means is that I can use a 4 gb MicroSDHC card and I can play Hexavirus.
Also, to the author of the article, I think your closing bit is blatantly discriminatory against people who emulate legally. Not everyone who plays roms is a pirate, and if we're calling out pirates for ridicule, then why not all pirates? Software is software. I think that if someone wants to condense their collection of media that they legally own, then foo on physical media.
I think if you're going to tell people that they shouldn't emulate DS games that they legally own physical copies of, then you may as well tell people that no one should own mp3 players and that everyone should either carry every CD they own on their person at all times or do without.
Sorry to stray off topic, I get a little worked up about media rights.

NitroTracker is the best homebrew project in my opinion.

I'm having trouble installing Morning Timer (v1.2) from Infantile Paralysiser. I don't really have a clue what I'm doing wrong and the readme isn't really helping. I've installed the zip to my root flash card menu, I'm using DSTT card so there shouldn't be any need for a DLDI tool. Still it didn't work. I've tried clicking everything inside the unzipped folder aswell (there are some dos files) Could anyone give me a step-by-step guide to installing this thing? It'd really help me and my sleeping ;]
