Forgive me for being hazy on the details, but if you’re smart enough to develop homebrew DS software, you’re also smart enough to figure out what coder Dave J. Murphy is talking about in this post.

Basically, using a complicated combination of save game exploits and wifi file transfer, Murphy claims to have devised a method of homebrew access to DSi mode, something that was first seen in 2009 but still has yet to take off reliably. With any luck, homebrewers will make good use of this method and give us a DSi Game Boy Camera emulator, as well as, um, games.

Aside from the obvious camera uses, DSi mode support could also open the way for homebrew software to take advantage of the system’s improved hardware, like its WPA wireless, extra RAM/faster CPU (should benefit emulators), and more. I’d love to see what developers will manage to accomplish with access to the SD card slot, too!
