FSPDS is a homebrew application that allows you to play DSi Flipnote Studio .ppm files on Nintendo DS (Lite) directly from your flashcard.
Released in 2009, Flipnote Studio is a free downloadable application for the Nintendo DSi which allows users to create frame-by-frame flipbook-style animations with the console's touch screen, cameras and microphone.
Installation
Copy FSPDS.nds (DLDI if needed) anywhere to your SD card.
Copy your favorite flipnotes to your SD card.
Notes and limitations:
- FSPDS does not detect/play flipnotes larger than 1MB.
- You can have up to 1024 files in flipnotes directory.
- The flipnote's BGM track should be smaller than 512KB in order to be played correctly.
User guide
Running FSPDS for the first time:
- Tap the "Browse" button and then the "Add Flipnote Location" icon in the top left corner to index flipnotes location.
- A flipnote location is a folder containing flipnotes. A flipnote file name is considered valid if it matches the original Flipnote Studio name convention:
- The file name must be 24 characters long and followed by the extension ".ppm".
- For example, 01B155_0B803A974C99E_003.ppm is a valid flipnote filename.
- Navigate to the folder you want to add, then tap "Select" in the bottom right corner. FSPDS will search and index flipnotes in the chosen location.
- Once indexing is complete, you'll be redirected to the locations list.
Viewing Flipnotes:
- In the locations list, use the D-Pad to navigate to the desired location.
- Press A to view flipnotes there.
- Browse flipnote thumbnails on the top screen using D-Pad arrows, while the bottom screen displays information about the selected flipnote.
- Touch the "Play" button to play a flipnote.
