Poweroff DS

This program turns off your DS. It's probably the shortest DS homebrew ever. I made it because someone on another forum requested it to save wear and tear on the power button.

the power button was meant to be used a lot so i doubt it would break easily.

What's the point in this?

[kcajblue]

if you read the main post.
it says he only made it because someone requested it to prevent wear and tear on the power switch.

Yeah, so now we can turn on our DS, start a homebrew, and turn it back off!

Seriously, you can go back to the main menu and then do that, that's why.

Save from wear and tear? The probably least used button on the ds :)

Well, one shouldn't complain when people make free programs, but it seems a bit strange :)

[kcajblue]

yeah.
i dont see how the ds power button can break.
ive had three ds's and ive never had any problems with the power button

O_o How lazy does one person have to be to want to avoid pressing the power button? Or maybe that just have huge man-paws for hands and can't touch the little button (though no idea how they play games on the DS, unless it's the brain-training games).. just weird.

Seeing as the source is released as well it gives developers an example to work from, so it's not completely frivolous.

Oh they can very easily. Specially on the lights.
My friend broke his about 3 months after he got it. I mean, it still works, just the spring was mis-lodged or something like that. Either way it is possible (yes even on the phat).

Anyway, still a nifty idea for a program...

But you still need to turn it ON by the button, I don't see the point. If it did something ELSE as well, it might be useful, but why would you want to switch on your DS just to switch it off again?

i put it on my friends ds as a joke and named it "the super porn stars game". i got an angry phone call after - this app is great :rofl:

[bihero]
