Supercard DSTwo Flashcard

Supercard DStwo plugins

Information

A DSTwo 'Plugin' consists of 3 files stored in the '/_dstwoplug/' folder on the DSTwo flashcard

• A picture (16bit BMP 40x42 pixels in size)
• A ini file (contains 3 lines of info: 2 are used for 'Display Name' & Icon graphic location/name)
• A Homebrew *.nds file (or *.plg - a program specially developed to use the extra CPU/Memory of the DS2)

This Wiki contains a selection of 'unofficial' plugins found @ this post, where you will also find

• A Full download pack maintained by alidsl, containing virtually all Plugins shown here
• An alternative icon download pack made by VatoLoco
• Icon Templates for Slot-1 and Slot-2, along with a Tool that allows you to make your own compatible 'plugins' graphics

Official DStwo plug-ins can be found here: http://eng.supercard.sc/manual/dstwo/plugin.htm

How to add a Plugin

• Download the 'Plugin' file
• Unzip it & copy the Bmp icon and Ini file into the '/_dstwoplug/' folder
• Download the 'Program' file
• Unzip & place the *.nds file also into the '/_dstwoplug/' folder

Note that some homebrew may need extra folders/files stored in specific area(s) on the flashcard 
you may need to read any accompaning 'readme.txt' files for further information on setting those programs up

Also in some cases the *.nds filename may not match that of the bmp/ini files - if that is the case, just rename the nds file to match

Common Plugin Problems

No 'INI'

This means that the 'ini' file is either missing or is NOT named the same as the 'nds' file

NOT 16bit

This means that the 'bmp' has not been saved/converted into a 16-bit colour depth graphic

No 'BMP'

This means the 'bmp' is either missing or is NOT named the same as in the 'ini' file
