FSPDS V0.1

Flipnote Studio Player for Nintendo DS

"Unburied" dekvkitPro from a 3yo hard disk backup, so I decided to give it a go :)

This simple ROM allows you to play flipnotes on Nintendo DS (Lite) using your flashcard.

How to use

• Create a new folder named /flipnotes at the root of your SD card
• Copy your favorite flipnotes to /flipnotes directory
• Copy FSPDS.nds anywhere to your SD card
• Insert your flashcard into the DS, then turn on the console
• Launch FSPDS.nds
• Select a file from the menu using the D-pad
• Press A to play it
• Use L/R buttons to navigate through bottom-screen tabs

Bugs/Limitations

• FSPDS doesn't detect/play flipnotes larger than 1MB (this is intentional behavior)
• Don't place more than 1024 files in /flipnotes directory, otherwise FSPDS won't be capable to see them all (also intentional behavior, probably will be changed in the future)
• No sound currently
• It's possible to encounter some graphical glitches (they'll be fixed soon) [Hopefully not!]

Tested on DeSmuMe emulator and R4(i) flashcards
