First my hardware
M3 DS Simply + 1Gb Apacer MicroSD
'Flashed' NDS Lite ('noautoboot' flash)
I'm new to 'Homebrew' etc but what I'm after is a file explorer that's totally customisable
I already have 'Moonshell' for my music & films & TXT files - it's OK but I'll like a little more choice.
What I want is a program that will allow me to define which program to use for the file I'm trying to open
I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but what I want is to explore my M3 card, & if I select a TXT file then the program that opens is 'ReadMore Alpha', (which I like because you can hold the DS like a book to read).
If I select a MP3 - then it will launch DSMPlay ('cos i like the 'touchscreen controls)
If I select a DPG - Then it will launch Moonshell
The way to customise the file explorer would be via a 'config.ini' file, that would contain something like
FileExt=DPG
Program=/Moonshel/Moonshell1.71.nds
Icon=/icons/moonshell.bmp
the 'icon' bit is a function I'd like where you can select a set of icons to be displayed on the touch screen as shortcuts to specific programs - for eg I may want 'DSOrganise' to start up (which doesn't have a file ext avaliable so I will not be able to start it if I select a particular file from within the file explorer)
On the subject of DSorganise - is there a way of 'removing' some of the built-in functions, from the screens - I cannot see myself ever using the web browser or IRC, so I'd like to get rid of these from showing on the touchscreen
Thanx in advance from a total newbie
