Im not sure bud. I did however ask the man himslef to join us in this thread to see if he can get you going in the right direction. Hopefuly he will pop his head in here shortly. Until then I will look around for some Mac OS X info for you. GREAT to see someone wanting to get into the coding game for the DS. Good luck and please keep us informed of your progress!

Hi Skozilla.

Sorry I haven't replied sooner - been away for a couple of days.

It looks like DeVS has found what you were looking for (devkitpro is designed not to be particularly platform dependent). I will have a look at the Mac stuff and add a tutorial to my site.

Just so as you know, I am a bit of a beginner myself, but I wanted to share my learning curve with anyone else who is interested. I have got 2 years' C programming under my belt and I work as a webmaster doing allsorts with ASP, VBScript etc.

Updates may be a week or two apart at the moment as I have virtually no free time to be programming, writing up my exploits or uploading to the site. But hopefully in a few weeks that will change and I can start some serious stuff.

Happy programming!!

I would also recommend Patater's excellent homebrew manual (http://patatersoft.info/manual.html).

Cool Mate Thnx for the info, gonna grab that manual now, I had a look at that ds101 site had aLOT of info on there, I was a little drunk at the time but the logic of the code is simular to what i used to dabble in (meaning the xbox M$Dash) oh happy days.

That last manual is pretty good. should be easy to come up with something simple. Thanks!
