The DSpico is the open-source flashcart from the LNH Team. Designed for both DS and DSi consoles, it features fully open hardware and firmware built on the RP2040 microcontroller.
Features
- RP2040 microcontroller
- 16 Mbit flash memory
- Micro USB port
- Micro SD slot
- Development port
- Two LEDs (red and blue)
- Dual power support: can be powered by USB and DS simultaneously (by ORing circuit)
With the DSpico Firmware:
- Sequential SD read speed: up to 6MB/s
- Power consuption: ~57 mW
- Compatible with DSi mode
- Compatible with Pico Loader and Pico Launcher
Versatile Flexible
The DSpico firmware is compatible with modified and unmodified DS, DSi and 3DS consoles, allowing you to use DSpico on any console you own.
Our firmware implements a multi-bootloader solution, allowing you to configure up to two different bootloaders that will be used depending on which console-type (DS or DSi/3DS) you are using. The DSpico firmware takes care of detecting your console, and loading the appropriate bootloader.
Our firmware comes with support for WRFUxxed: An all-access DSi-mode exploit that allows DSpico to be run on unmodified DSi and 3DS consoles, with full access to DSi exclusive features. Ntrboot for 3DS and DSi is also supported.
Fast Reliable
The DSpico firmware is fast, reaching speeds up to ~6MB/s when reading from a microSD card.
Our firmware makes the DSpico power-efficient, only consuming ~57mW on average, giving you more play time with no compromise.
DSpico Firmware
This is the repository for the DSpico firmware. The firmware emulates a DS cartridge, with extended features for SD access and USB. PIO is used for an SDIO interface for the SD card and for interfacing the DS cartridge bus.
For an overview of the supported card commands, see commands.md.
Features
- Emulates a retail DS(i) cartridge
- Interfaces with an SD card using SDIO and exposes card commands to access it from the DS side
- Exposes card commands to the DS side to allow interfacing with the USB port of the RP2040
- Can emulate an R4 to support software such as the Wood R4 kernel
- Supports having a separate rom for DS and DSi/3DS systems
- Supports emulating the IS-SPI-USB-ADAPTER for the WRFUxxed exploit
- Easy updating; starting the firmware with an ejected SD card reboots to BOOTSEL
- Optimized for minimal power use when idle
