RickRollDS

[GRVeee2]

I'm pretty new to this whole home brew thing so i don't know how possible it is, but wouldn't it be cool if you could make it look like you were hosting say a single card 'Mario Kart' game and when someone went to join they got rick rolled on their DS!

I'm SO going to use this. Awesome.

Not exactly the hardest thing to do really, but still funny nonetheless.

Just as a test, I tried doing something similar on the GBA using DragonBASIC. The resulting code (precompiled binary available via attachment):

Spoiler!

#TITLE "OoT2D"

#INCLUDE "c:\db\include\gba.dbc"

music: #SOUND "music.wav"

;Background
image_bmp: #BITMAP "background.bmp"
image_pal: #PALETTE "background.bmp"

;Some constants to help keep code clean
#CONSTANT MODE0 0 ; mode 0
#CONSTANT NOSPRITES 0 ; don't use sprites
#CONSTANT WITHSPRITES 1 ; use sprites
#CONSTANT BG 0 ; use background 0
#CONSTANT SB31 31 ; Screenblock 31
#CONSTANT CB0 0 ; Character block 1
#CONSTANT BASE0 0 ; offset (base) 0
#CONSTANT IMGX 240 ; 240 pixels in width
#CONSTANT IMGY 160 ; 160 pixels in height
#CONSTANT IMGDEPTH 8 ; 8 bits in depth

dim i,s$

SUB setup_bg

; Next let's enable our background

ENABLETILES BG,SB31,CB0,BG_COLOR_256

; Let's load our image tiles into character block 0

LOADTILES CB0,BASE0,image_bmp,BLOCKS(IMGX,IMGY,IMGDEPTH)
LOADPAL256 BG_PALETTE,image_pal

; Now that we're done loading our background we can
; use the function MAPIMAGE to paste the tiles onto
; it. MAPIMAGE takes 4 parameters: the tile address
; to start at, the base tile value to begin with,
; and the width and height (in tiles) of our "image".
; Each tile is 8x8 so we can find the number of tiles
; by simply dividing the image's width and height by 8.

MAPIMAGE TILE(SB31,0,0),BASE0,IMGX/8,IMGY/8

END SUB

start:

GRAPHICS MODE0,NOSPRITES

setup_bg

TURNSOUNDON

PLAYMUSIC music

MAKETIMER 10:STARTTIMER
for i = 0 to 1000
s$ = str$(i)
FADEIN
WAITTIMER 10:RESETTIMER
NEXT

WHILE

LOOP

Or in as few lines as possible with all the constants, comments, and whitespace removed (also the fade-in effect removed):

Spoiler!

#TITLE "OoT2D"
#INCLUDE "c:\db\include\gba.dbc"
music: #SOUND "rickroll.wav"
image_bmp: #BITMAP "RickRolld.bmp"
image_pal: #PALETTE "RickRolld.bmp"

start:
GRAPHICS 0,0
ENABLETILES 0,31,0,BG_COLOR_256
LOADTILES 0,0,image_bmp,BLOCKS(240,160,8)
LOADPAL256 BG_PALETTE,image_pal
MAPIMAGE TILE(31,0,0),0,240/8,160/8

Good basic exercise.

this is awesome, but i don't know exactly how to fool my friends. is there any way you could make this so that it shows up on other peoples DS, maby like halo3 and when they go to download it (from download play) they get rick roll'd? if this was made this would be the coolest thing ever!!! Is this even possible?

Thanks,
Cory

I got my girlfriend with this. Renamed the file to ZSNES and told her I found a port of ZSNES for the NDS.

Her initial impulse was to kill me horribly when she found out. ^^;

Serves her right for the LimeRickRoll she sent me earlier....

[azorpatch]

I rickrolled some people by renaming it Gears of war DS lol

Anyway does anyone know a way to change the rom image so future tricks could work better? I'm thinking of renaming it megaman X DS and having a small megaman sprite as image, but I don't know how to do that.

How do i download it?
