DSLinux progress

Post by Praxis »

It's about time! After modifying the firmware to let the DS boot using the ARM9 processor off a GBA cartridge (before, only the ARM7 processor would be active when you used the GBA cartridge), the DSLinux crew have gotten uCLinux running.

Can't wait to run Linux on my DS :D So far it looks like they're planning on using Matchbox or TinyX. At the moment they're still debugging though. So they haven't even started on the GUI yet.
