Overview of Nintendo DS Program Distribution
1 Introduction
1.1 About this Document
This document provides a summary of the basic mechanism for distributing programs from a Wii
console to a Nintendo DS system. For a detailed explanation of the individual libraries and tools that
are referenced in this document, please refer to the separate function references and related
documents.
Unless otherwise noted, all libraries and tools mentioned in this document are included in the
Revolution SDK Extensions (RevoEX) package.
1.2 The Flow When Distributing Programs from Wii to DS
Developers need to perform the following tasks in order to distribute programs from Wii to the DS:
1. The
$RevoEX/X86/bin/regds.exe
tool must be used in advance to create a Program
Registration Information list of all DS programs that might be distributed.
This registration information is output as a C source file.
2. The source file created in step 1 is incorporated into the build of the Wii program.
This task involves simply compiling and linking as you would a regular C source file.
3. MPDL and the other distribution libraries are used to implement the actual processes to distribute
programs.
To learn how to implement these processes, see the sample demos for the various distribution
libraries that are contained in the RevoEX package.
4. When the distribution library performs the act of actually distributing a DS program, a search of the
Registration Information list is performed automatically inside the library. If the program that is about
to be distributed is not on that list, the library aborts the process after sending a warning to debug
output or some other operation.
The Program Registration Information is important for two reasons in this process flow.
First, it prevents distributing programs that the developer did not intend to distribute. The library
rejects any distribution process on programs that have not been explicitly specified with the
regds.exe
tool.
Second, it provides a way of accurately determining the master ROM information of the DS programs
stored in the production version of the Wii program. The Registration Information list includes text
strings indicating the SDK information used by every program as well as the status of use of
middleware that requires licensing agreements. This information is all stored in a verifiable form in the
master data when the master of the Wii program is submitted.
