The homebrew cookbook: Recipes and recommendations for 2007

When we think about DS homebrew, we imagine a bunch of talented people with their laptops hooked up to their bathtubs, using all sorts of magic and blood rituals to produce the things that they do. It's one thing for paid developers to make games, what with their fancy-schmancy development kits and other perks. Homebrewers, on the other hand, don't get as many helpful tools, or recognition, or rewards for their labor. That's why we're completely in awe of the homebrew community.

Because of that, we compiled a list of some of our favorite homebrew creations of this year, with our best guesses on how they were made.*

*Note: DS Fanboy strongly recommends that you don't try these recipes at home.

DScratch lets you DJ on your DS



One of the many reasons that we love the DS is because it does pretty much everything. Not only can you play games to your little heart's content, but you can also use your DS to call people, store data, and slap bitches.* Noticeably, however, the DS was in need of a killer music app. That is, until now.

DScratch appears to be the next best homebrew on the market, giving you the opportunity to experiment with audio manipulation on your DS. The app comes with the following features:
  • load .wav file or live-recorded audio
  • scratch
  • pitch control
  • FX "Retrig"
  • Midi OUT (wireless)
  • stylus control
  • NDSMotion control
Wondering how it all works? Well then, watch the video that we've ever-so-kindly embedded for you up top. If you feel so inclined, you can download this homebrew for free here, but first take note of the issues with the program (like its incompatibility with R4). Also, since this app is only in its alpha stage, you might want to wait until the bugs and kinks are worked out before adding this to the repertoire of your DS. Unless you're into bugs and kinks ... in which case, who are we to judge?

*DS Fanboy does not advocate the slapping of bitches in real-life scenarios.
