DSLua is a port of the Lua scripting language to the Nintendo DS.

Installation

Download and unzip the file.

Patch the DSLua ROM (either DSLua.nds or DSLua.sc.nds or DSLua.ds.gba) with DLDI.

Copy the scripts directory, which was in the download, to the root directory of card. You only need scripts/main.lua which is a file browser to execute lua scripts (DSLua won't work without it). All the other files are just example programs.

Copy the DSLua ROM to flashcard.

User guide

Lua Manual for previous versions are available here.
