Welcome to Patater

After a four day wait lag time, the manual is back and its source code is ready to compile with libnds 1.3.1. Thanks for waiting. Enjoy!

This release is meant to simply get the code compiling again. I don't yet use the new high level APIs that this version of libnds introduces. I'm saving that work for the next version of the manual. I have a few new chapters in the works that I'll be slipping in next time, as well.

The new version (r24) of devkitARM is here. Along with it comes the highly anticipated libnds 1.3.1 release. A new libnds means a broken Introduction to Nintendo DS Programming and a lot more other broken source code.

I desire to bring nübs together and lift them from their flounderings in muddy puddles of newbdom, strap them to orange spaceships (not alien ones), and launch them into the Nintendo DS homebrew community. A forum dedicated to doing this is the most effective method.

This downtime has been the longest that this site has experienced. For that, I apologize.

It is quite surprising when you see a user on your server that you know isn't supposed to be privileged running about eight wget and eight sendmail processes simultaneously (new ones being created and destroyed all the time), using up a good portion of my CPU time. I came to the obvious conclusion that I had my server broken into (electronically) and immediately shut down the server, locking everyone out, even me.

This is the modest and lowly Introduction to Nintendo DS manual, the supreme source for beginner knowledge on programming the Nintendo DS.
