DS-DOS is an MS-DOS type clone, featuring a command line interface.It is a first filebrowser of it's kind. This text-based application allows user to view/copy/move/delete/rename files on memory card or built-in memory.
It also allows to boot other .nds binaries (users of certain cards may have trouble with this).
Installation
- Download and extract file
- DLDI patch it and copy it to the root directory of the card
User guide
Currently Implemented Commands (case-sensitive)
- date displays the date
- time displays the time
- cls clears the screen
- help displays help
- ver displays DS-DOS version
- del allows deleting of files
- copy allows copying of files
- move allows moving of files
- ren allows renaming of files
- dir displays a list of files and directories in current directory
- cd change the current directory
- lock locks the filesystem, preventing use of del/copy/move/ren
- ulok unlocks the filesystem allowing use of del/copy/move/ren
To boot any .nds file, just type the filename (myndsfile.nds). If it is currently in a folder, you will have to type the full path unless the folder it resides in is the current working directory (folder\myndsfile.nds).
To use the extra device, you must have a dldi file called "fat3.dldi", which is a renamed dldi file of the other device you want to use. To boot an .nds file on the other device, you would type "fat3:\myndsfile.nds". Copying, renaming, moving, and deleting all work this same way.
For some reason, typing any commands larger than five characters long, may break certain commands. To fix this, press Start to restart DS-DOS (file must be named dos.nds).
Known issues
Keyboard not working with the R4 cart.
