[edit] Supported Hardware

If there are no objections I will rewrite a statement as follows:

From: "All hardware inside the Nintendo DS is supported by DSLinux, including wireless networking and sound (except sound input)."
To: "With the exception of the microphone, all hardware inside the Nintendo DS is supported by DSLinux."

[edit] Usefullness

Can anything more than a command prompt be run? Is there any real use to this? RealG187 18:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

You can run a number of command-line programs such as Retawq, vi, Hack and other games. Basically, you can do a number of things you could do on any PC linux distro using a command line. 142.59.173.240 04:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


I noticed this is categorized under replacement firmware, this is incorrect, it's software only, although modified firmware is oftend used to to run unsigned applications on the DS. I'm new to this so I thought I'd let someone else do the modifications 24.68.85.124 03:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)adamk

Removed. DSLinux is certainly not a firmware replacement, and no firmware hacking is necessary to run it. That's one method, but there are many others. 142.59.173.240 04:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
