概要 - Introduction
Welcome back to another official GBAtemp.net review.
This is a review of the newly released Ninja DS - a DS slot based homebrew flash kit.
TheNinjaDS is one of the many announced "new generation"flashkitsolutions for the Nintendo DS. What's the difference?Thenewgeneration use only the DS card slot on your Nintendo DS/DSLite,theyno longer use the GBA slot; which is left completely free.Thisleavesthe slot free for peripherals like the DS rumble pack andRAMexpansioncart.
NinjaDS是众多“次世代”NDS烧录卡中的一员。有啥子“次世代”的捏?因为次世代的烧录卡都只使用DS卡带槽嘛,和“初级产品”们使用GBA槽不一样。这样多出的GBA槽就可以让你插NDS的振动包和内存扩展卡了(目前只有OPERA浏览器用到了)。
The majority of DS slot based solutions have abuiltinPassMe feature. This means the DS slot based card is theonlythingyou're going to need to get up and running. No pass cards,GBAslotadapters, FlashMe etc... It really does just make thewholeprocess muchsimpler.
大多数基于DS槽的烧录卡都自带了PassMe功能,这样你只要插上卡带开机就能玩了,让Passme和GBA烧录卡走开,简单易用。
The Ninja DS was actually first announcedback in March of 2006, 6wholemonths ago. Many forum-goers werecynical about the claim that agroupwere coming out with a DS slotbased kit and the claims behind it.Buteventually, more manufacturerscame forward and announced their ownnewgeneration cards and put mostpeoples doubts to rest.
NinjaDS在6个月前的06年3月第一次公布,但是很多人都认为他们是在用嘴把牛弄到天上去。但是事实上它是真的。
The Ninja DS is a DS slot based device that takes standard SD card memory modules up to 2GB in size.
NinjaDS采用DS槽口的烧录设备,拥有标准的SD插口最大2GB的容量(实际上我觉得4GB的SD卡也是有可能在上面用的)。
Let's take a quick look at the list of features the manufacturer boasts about the Ninja DS:
让我们来简要的介绍一下NinjaDS值得夸耀的特性吧:
Features of the Ninja DS
NinjaDS功能列表:
- "No Original Cart Needed(无须正版卡带)
- No GBA Flashcart Needed(无须GBA烧录卡)
- No Needed Flash NDS Or Included .DAT File In SD(不用给NDS刷机,也不用在SD上复制.DAT文件)
- Compatible With Any GBA flashcart,Nf,Scard,M3,Etc..(兼容所有的GBA槽烧录卡,什么SC、M3之类的)
- Supports Old/New NDS & NDS Lite(支持老版本的NDS和新的NDSL)
- SD Card Slot Bundled(内建SD插口)
- 2mbytes FlashROM(2MByte的闪存ROM)
- Friendly & Easy Menu(友好且使用简单的菜单)
- Homebrew/Backup Player & Development Tool(有自制/备份播放器[?]和开发工具)
- Libraries for Developers Available(有开发者用函数库)
- SD Card MP3 Player(带有支持SD卡上的MP3播放器)
- Wifi Connection"(支持WIfi联网)
There'syourtypicalflash kit Engrish. But isn't it a big relief to hear thatthe SDcardslot is bundled with the card? It would have been quite thecon ifitwere sold seperately wouldn't it?
包装和内容 - Packaging and Contents
The Ninja DS arrives in a small little cardboard box that's roughly the same height as an old model Nintendo DS (aka. phat).
NinjaDS有一个和老NDS一样高的包装盒(好棒)
Thebox has a very awesome photo of a ninja on the bottomrightcornerwhich is a massive point scorer. The rest of the box doesn'tliveupthe coolness of the ninja guy though. We have a run downofthefeatures on the back of the box, and not much else.
(这段是描述盒子的,实在是…………,大家自己看看图就知道了,就是上面有个忍者像之类的,俺就节省时间好了)
Box Contents
包装内容
- 1x Ninja DS(Ninja DS一片)
- 1x Instructions leaflet(小说明书一张)
The Ninja DS card is sat loose inside the box along with a small piece of paper with a photocopied set of instructions on it.
Thephotocopied instructions that are provided with the NinjaDSareactually surprisingly useful! There is a brief set ofinstructionsforeach feature the Ninja DS has to offer, and othercritical thingsthatyou need to know to get up and running are mentioned.
(继续描述无聊的包装和无聊的说明书,继续跳过)
The Ninja DS
Here'sthe Ninja DS. As you can see it stands at approximately twicethesizeof a regular original DS game card and is only available inwhite.
NInjaDS目测大约有两块DS正版卡带大,而且只有白色
The bottom portion of the card fits snug in the DS slot, and the upper half which the SD card occupies sticks out of your DS.
The entire card is built fairly solid, and doesn't flex or creak too much. The casing is held together by six tiny screws.
On the "front" of the Ninja DS is a simple label, and on the "back" is the logo and website URL embossed on the plastic.
卡带下部分可以很好的插入DS卡带槽,整个卡带相当的牢固结实,没有太多弯曲和松动。整个卡带由6颗螺丝卡住。卡带前面是简单的NinjaDS标志,后面是LOGO和网址。
Overall the build quality is fairly good, but there are a few things I'd like to point out.
First,at the bottom left of the PCB (you can see some photos below) isachip(voltage regulator) that stands just a bit too high for thecasingtoohold. So when screwed together, there is a bump in the casingwherethechip is. But note; this _doesn't_ prevent the Ninja DSfrominsertingand removing from the DS slot at all.
NinjaDS的总体品质非常好,但是要指出的是:首先,在电路板右下的地方(可以从照片上看到)有个电压调整器(变压器?)有点太高了。所以如果拧紧螺丝装好NinjaDS,这里会凸出来一些。不过注意,这不影响它在DS槽里面抽插。
The second thing; I don'tknow if it's just because you have theextraheight on the card tograsp when removing the card as opposed toanormal game card. But theNinja DS can be removed very easily fromtheDS card slot. The actualcard clicks into place just fine; butit'sactually possible you canremove it by accident if you pull slightlyonthe card, like if you arere-inserting the SD card while the Ninja DSisinserted into the DS.
第二个问题就是由于NinjaDS上面突出来一截,而且插得不是很紧,所以不小心就会把卡弄出来了。
Thethird thing is that because the Ninja DS sticks out of theDSslot(quite like an original PassMe) and is fairly thin, it makesmefeelquite nervous that the card could snap or damage my DS slotiftheNinja DS card is hit or bent at an angle against the DS.
AlthoughI'd be surprised to hear this actually happen, as the carddoesfeelvery solid. I still wouldn't recommend throwing your DSaroundorchucking it into your ruck sack with the Ninja DS inserted!
第三点,还是因为卡长出来一截,所以万一被大力碰了一下卡带可能就玩完了。虽然NinjaDS看起来很结实,但是……还是注意一下吧。
TheNinja DS features a spring loaded, top loading SD card slot.TheSDcard is very easy to insert and remove, it clicks into placeandfitsflush in the casing. There is a groove in the Ninja DS casingtomakeit easier.
NinjaDS的SD槽很好,使用简单方便
使用NinjaDS - Using the Ninja DS
How easy is the Ninja DS to use? Let's see...
NinjaDS使用有多简单?让我们来看看……
Oneof the most exciting features of the Ninja DS is that itsupportsCLEANROMs. Yes, that's right. This means that there is no PCsideclientsoftware to use, and no need to convert, patch or modify ROMsatall(unless you wish to trim them).
NinjaDS最让人兴奋的是他支持CLEANROM。对,太棒了!这意味着你根本不需要PC端软件对ROM进行转换、打补丁或者修改ROM(或者你对此有特殊的兴趣喜欢折腾?)
Here's a quote straight from the instruction leaflet:
这里引用一下来自那片小使用说明的内容:
QUOTE(Ninja DS instructions)
引用(Ninja DS使用说明)
1.Simply insert your ROMS,MP3,JPG,etc... files in your SD CardusingFAT16 filesystem, insert SD Card in NINJADS and plug it inYourNINTENDODS Console.
1、简单的将你的MP3、JPG等文件拷贝到采用FAT16分区格式的SD卡上,把卡插入到Ninja DS上然后将其插入到NDS中
Sounds straight forward. Let's go.
听起来很直接,继续
First thing you're going to need to do is connect your SD card to your computer. Format the card using FAT16 (aka. FAT).
Nowwe can simply drag some clean ROMs and homebrew files straighttotheSD card, let's also copy some JPEGs and MP3s to try out theNinjaDS'smedia capabilities (more on this later).
首先我们将SD卡用读卡器链接到电脑上,格式化成FAT16分区格式,然后将Clean ROM和一些自制软件文件拖到SD卡傻瓜内,并复制一些JPG和MP3文件测试下NinjaDS的媒体兼容性(后面有更多的)
That's it! No need forpatching! Just disconnect your SD card fromyourcomputer using thenecessary steps, and then insert it into theNinjaDS. Then, justinsert the Ninja DS into your Nintendo DS like aregulargame card.
牛B,不需要打不定,只要将SD卡从电脑移开,然后插入ninjaDS然后插入NDS,它就像一个真正的游戏卡了!
TheNinja DS appears as a normal game under the DS main menu as youcanseebelow. Tapping the icon takes you straight into the Ninja DSmainmenu.
在DS主菜单中NinjaDS就像和普通的NDS游戏一样,电击图片进入以后你能看见NinjaDS的主菜单
The Ninja DS GUI is nice, it's fast, skinnable, touch compatible and simple.
NinjaDS的图形界面很漂亮,不但快而且支持皮肤,支持触摸,用起来也简单
Themain menu has three options: "Launcher", "Media" and "Wifi".TheNinjaDS interface is touch sensitive, but also works using thed-padandbuttons.
主菜单有三个选项:Launcher、Media和Wifi。NinjaDS的界面支持触摸,但是同样可以用十字键操作
Launcher: The launcher is exactly what it's called. This option lets you explore the SD card for ROM files and launch them.
Media: A sub menu with two options. 'MP3' - an MP3 player, and 'Pictures' which lets you browse and view JPEG files.
Wifi:A sub menu with two more options. 'File Reciever' abuilt-inFTP serverand 'NINJAME' a utility that lets you load and runNDS filesacrossy our Wifi network.
Launcher和名字所代表的意思一样,就是让你浏览SD看并选择ROM运行它们
Media有两个子菜单,“MP3”是一个MP3播放器,“Picture”能浏览你的JPG文件并查看它们
Wifi也有两个子菜单,“File Reciever”是一个自带的FTP服务器程序,而“NINJAME”是一个让你通过DSWifi网络载入并且运行程序的工具
Choosing launcher will take you to adirectory view of your SDcard.Folder and file names are limited tothe first 6 characters. Whenyouopen the folder containing ROMs, youare presented with all thegameseach indicated by their filename(again 6 chars) and the ROMsinternalicon.
选择 Launcher 将会出现SD卡带上的一个目录,目录和文件名限定用6个字符标示。当你打开装有NDS ROM的文件夹的时候,会出现它们的图标和文件名(还是只有6个字符)。
Tapping a ROM willdisplay further information on the top screen -thefull filename, theinternal name of the ROM, the second internalline(publisher/continued game name) and the size of the game inmegabits.
选定ROM以后顶部屏幕将显示这个ROM的更多资料,例如完整的ROM名称,发行商和游戏容量等
Tapping the gameicon again will launch it. There is a slight delaywhenlaunching larger games. The maximum I've experienced is approx.3seconds.
选择游戏图标以后将开始装载游戏,即时装载一个大游戏也只是有轻微的延迟。最大我感觉只有大约3秒的样子。
Savegames in NDS ROMs are handled fairly well, and are kept ina'SAV'folder on the root of the SD card. They are RAW 256KB .sav files.
NDS ROM的存档处理得不错,它们保存在SD卡带根目录下的“SAV”文件夹中,采用未加工的256KB的.sav文件保存
If you load a game through the launcher that doesn't have a savefileonyour SD card, or if there isn't even a SAV folder on thecard,theNinja DS will create them both automatically.
如果你运行的游戏在SD卡上没有sav文件,或者你的SD卡干脆就没有SAV这个存档用的文件夹,那NinjaDS会帮你自动的建立(太好了,虽然是很简单的功能,但是很实用,国内的烧录卡小组应该学学!这才是人性化设计)
Saves are written tothe SD card immediately when saving within agame inreal-time. Andsave game files are linked to each ROM byfilename,unfortunately this means that you can't have more than onesave FILE pergame. (Though theactual game itself may allow severalgame save slots).
游戏存档是实时保存在SD卡带上的(不是像国内烧录卡一样,退出游戏重新关机、开机再进入的时候保存,赞!)。而且sav文件的名字和ROM名字保持一致性。不过这也意味着,你的游戏只能有一个sav文件(像M3之类的可以有好多个存档文件就爽了,不过游戏一般都提供几个存档位置的,也不是很要紧的功能)。
As saves are created and stored on the SD card, they can be backed up to your computer with ease.
由于存档是保存在SD卡带上的,所以备份起来很简单。
There are further two options/features found at the bottom right ofthemainNinja DS menu. One is an icon of a GBA cart and the other a DSLitewith a number on it. What are these options? One is a PassMeoption(GBAcart) and the second sets the read speed of your SD card.More ontheselater in the 'Additional Features' section of this review.
而在NinjaDS的主菜单右下角还有两个选项。一个是GBA卡带的图标,这是一个PassMe设置(GBA卡,译者估计是用GBA烧录卡存储NDS ROM,然后那NinjaDS当Passme用的吧),另外一个是一台标明了数字的NDS,这个是SD卡的读取速度。
If your preferred language isn't English, the Ninja DS GUI canalsobeviewed in French, German, Italian and Spanish. AJapaneselanguageoption will be available in a later firmware update.
如果你的首选语言不是英语,NinjaDS的图形界面也有法语、德育、意大利语、西班牙语,而日语将在以后的固件升级中提供。
The language setting is chosen according to what language you have your Nintendo DS set to.
语言设置是根据你的NDS本体中的设置来进行的。
Updatingthe firmware on the NinjaDS is very simple and safe.Simplydownloadthe latest update from the NinjaDS website, copy theupdate.binfile tothe root of your SD card, insert it into your NinjaDS,plug thatintoyour DS and turn on. The update will be detectedautomatically. Andyouwill be asked to confirm the update - make sureyou have a goodportionof battery life yet - don't update with a redlight - and moreimportantly; don't turn off your DS during the updateuntil you aretoldto do so. Doing otherwise could brick your NinjaDS.
更新NinjaDS的固件是非常简单而安全的。首先去NinjaDS的网站下载最新的固件文件update.bin拷贝到SD卡带的根目录下,然后插入到NinjaDS中再插入到NDS上并打开电源,系统会自动找到更新,然后你确认一下是否更新即可。当然,注意你的NDS电池是不是足够,不要在红灯情况下更新固件,也不要在更新的时候关闭NDS,除非你想要一块Nintendo牌的砖头。
Didn't understand that? Here's a video guide on how to update the firmware...
还是不明白?这里有一个视频指导你怎么更新固件(当然,这个要去原文网站看了,嘻嘻)
How to update the NinjaDS firmware
如何更新NinjaDS固件(这个链接目前不存在了)
So...Using the Ninja DS is very simple, and is made even easier without theneed for PC client software to convert anything.
看,用NinjaDS还是非常简单吧,而且而且不用PC上的转换软件了
Everything can just be copied straight to the memory card as it is.
所有的东西直接拷贝到SD卡上就OK
Here's a small shaky-cam video of the Ninja DS showing you a few options and a quick tour of the GUI:
(抱歉,这个视频链接俺也没有)

(这个就是上面提到的我没有的视频)
Now we know how to use the Ninja DS, how does the it actually perform? Let's move on and find out.
OK,现在我们知道应该如何实用NinjaDS了,那我们继续看看它实际运行的情况?继续!
NinjaDS的性能 - Ninja DS Performance
Duringthe performance section of this review, I am using a SandiskUltraII1GB SD card formatted in FAT16. The firmware loaded on theNinja DSduring testing is version 1.02. I am using a Black EuropeanNintendoDSLite that is un-flashed.
在评测的性能测试里面,我们使用一块 Sandisk Ultra II 1GB的SD卡,格式化成FAT16格式。固件采用 NinjaDS还在测试中的 1.02版。我们使用的机器是黑色的欧版未刷机的NDS Lite。
下面是彩色字的注解:
PASS: 玩起来和真正的卡带没有两样.
FAIL: 游戏无法载入甚至游戏在进入操作前就死掉了.
PROBLEMS: 游戏可以玩,但是有某些问题.
For review purposes I am going to try the following ROM backups. Let's take a look and see how each one runs individually.

Asyoucan see, unfortunately the Ninja DS is not without a fairshareofcompatibility problems. This said, during my review, the NinjaDSteamcontacted me several times and sent me a few firmware updates.Iamcurrently using 1.02, and compatibility has rose since I tried1.00and1.01.
如您所见,NinjaDS还是有兼容性的问题,在我测试期间,NinjaDS小组曾发送过几次更新的固件给我,除了当前在用的1.02以外我还尝试了1.00和1.01。
If the Ninja DS team can continue supporting this productfor sometime,then hopefully they'll fix the remaining problems. Butif theydecide todrop support or release a newer product and work onthat, youcouldpotentially be left with a card that doesn't have agreatcompatibility.
如果NinjaDS小组继续支持这个产品,还是有希望修复这些问题的。反之,你只会有一个不是有很强兼容性的产品
ROM compatibility is not the only problemI've encountered.Duringtesting, I've recieved a few strange errorsthat are probably duetobugs or instability in the Ninja DS's GUI.
Sometimes, when loading a ROM I would get a strange "ROM Error.Pleaserestart ROM." Which forces you to turn off your DS and tryagain,whichthen would work. I've no idea why this happens.
ROM兼容性并不是唯一的问题,在测试期间,我也碰到过一些图形界面方面的BUG。有些时候,当我载入ROM的时候,我看到了一个陌生的提示“ROM Error. Please restart ROM.(ROM错误,请重新开始ROM)”,强制关闭NDS电源重启后问题消失。
Another problemalso, during testing that I've found, is that theNinjaDS appears tosometimes create a lot of corrupt folders in the SAVfolderthat cannotbe deleted and can only be removed by formatting thecard.This bug appears to happen when the SD card is almost full andtries tocreate another .SAV file for a new ROM but has run out ofspace.
The Ninja DS team assure me that this will be fixed very soon and is a problem related to Chism's FAT driver.
而另外还有其它的问题,在测试期间NinjaDS优势会建立很多错误的文件夹在你的SAV目录下,这些文件夹不能删除,只有格式化才能清除它们。这个问题似乎是在SD卡满了的时候发生。NinjaDS小组向我保证会很快的修复这个由于Chism的FAT驱动带来的问题。
Onemore problem I've just found - Single card multiplayerdoesn'tappearto work at all. I've tried several games and they allsendcorrupt datato the recieving DS which is strange. The Nintendo logoontherecieving DS appears scrambled and the network playgetsdisconnected.
杠杆发现的一个问题,单卡多人游戏方式似乎全部都不能工作,NDS会把错误的数据发给其它主机,接收方连任天堂的LOGO都是混乱的,并且网络链接断开。
Whether this can be fixed via firmware update remains unknown.
目前该问题能否通过升级固件来解决还未可知
Sleepmode support is here! I have tested sleep mode (byclosingthescreens/lid on the Nintendo DS) in several different gamesand itworksflawlessly.
另外支持睡眠模式
NinjaDS的附加功能 - Additional Ninja DS Features
Let's take a look at the remaining features the Ninja DS has to offer, in order as they appear in the GUI.
让我们看看NinjaDS的其它功能,我们按照它们在图形界面中的循序来进行。
Media - Pictures:A very simple image viewer that supportsJPEGs.Images load quickly(even high-res) and are stretched to span thetwoscreens. You canscroll around the image using the touch screen likeyouwould click anddrag a mouse on a PC. There are two icons to zoom inandout of theimage and a exit button to return to the menu.
Media-Picture:一个简单的图片查看程序,支持JPG。图片载入很快捷(即使是高分辨率图)并且能延伸到两个屏幕。你能用触摸屏卷动图片查看就像在PC上用鼠标一样。此外菜单上还有缩放和退出两个图标。
Media - MP3:A simple MP3 player that supports MP3, WAV, MODandS3M formats. Thereis a file/directory browser on the top screen andatouch screen playeron the bottom. Options are play, pause, stopandplay all. Shuffle andrepeat don't appear to work yet.
The bottom screen shows ID3 information of the currently playing track (title, artist, album).
Media-MP3:一个简单的MP3播放器,支持MP3,WAV,MOD和S3m格式,文件和目录浏览器在上屏幕而播放器在下屏幕。有播放、暂停、停止、播放全部,Shuffle和循环等功能目前似乎还不能用。
TheMP3 player supports sleep mode, which will turn off the DSscreensandspeakers and continue playing the music through theheadphonejack.This means you can close your DS screens, put your DS inyourpocketand continue listening to your songs.
MP3播放器支持睡眠模式,关闭DS屏幕,可以继续通过耳机播放音乐。你可以把DS放在口袋里面继续听歌。
Wifi - WIFI FTP:(Renamed from 'File Reciever' to 'Wifi FTP'innewer firmware versions)"WIFI FTP" is a fully fledged FTP server andisvery impressive and even useful! The program uses the Wi-ficonnectioninformation in yourDS firmware that has been setup in a Wi-fienabledgame such as MarioKart DS or Animal Crossing, so if you don'thaveWi-fi configured onyour DS yet you will need to use one of thesegamesand set it upfirst. The server works on port 21, and uses theusernameand password"ninjads" - neither of these settings areconfigurable atthis time.
Wifi-Wifi FTP(新版固件中从“File Reciever”改名成“Wifi FTP”)是一个不错的FTP服务器,他使用NDS本体中的Wifi连接设定,用户名和密码都是“ninjads”。
TheFTP server works very well, and using FlashFXP I could connecttoandbrowse the SD card with long filename support in my Ninja DSinmyNintendo DS wirelessly. I have yet to encounter any problemswiththisprogram. The transfer rate from my PC to my DS in the sameroomstayedat a steady 20KB/s, not the greatest of speeds but the FTPserverisstill very useful. I have been told that the transfer ratewillbeimproved in future firmware versions.
这个FTP服务器工作得非常好,使用FlashFXP 软件我能连接和查看NinjaDS上SD卡的长文件名,在同一个房间中传输率在 20KB/s,虽然速度还不理想,但是这个功能确实好用,而且速度将在新版固件升级中得到改善。(连拷贝ROM都省掉了,当然爽啦!)
Wifi - NINJAME:This feature apparently allows you to bootNDSfiles on your DSdirectly from a network location over Wi-Fi. Isayapparently becausethis feature doesn't work at the moment. The NinjaDSteam assured meit will be working soon.
Wifi-NINJAME,这个功能是让你的DS直接通过Wifi网络运行NDS文件用的。但是目前该功能暂时不能工作,NinjaDS小组承诺近期会开放。
PassMe: The GBA cart icon issimply a PassMe feature. Thisallowsyou to boot a compatible GBA flashcart adapter (M3, Supercardetc...)from the GBA slot using only theNinja DS.
PassMe:这个是用GBA烧录卡,而NinjaDS当成PassMe的功能,用来引导GBA烧录卡用的
I have tested this feature with the following cards:
下面这些卡带通过了测试:
- M3 Adapter - PASSED
- Supercard - PASSED
- EZ Flash IV Lite - PASSED
- eWin 2 - PASSED
SD Card Read Speed:TheDSLite icon is a setting that controls the speed the SD memorycard isreadat. Tapping the icon cycles from speed 1, 2 and 3. 1 beingtheslowest, 2being normal, and 3 being the fastest. Speed settingnumber 3is onlysupported by a small number of SD cards, one of thembeing theSandiskUltra II series. Speed setting number 2 is defaultand isrecommended formost games.
SD卡读取速度:右下角带数字的NDSL图标是控制SD卡的读取速度的。点击图标数字将在1,2,3之间切换,1最慢而3最快。速度3仅支持少数恶SD卡,例如Sandisk Ultra II系列。大部分SD卡推荐采用SPEED2模式。
Skins: The Ninja DSGUI is skinnable in the most simplest ofways.You can replace the mainmenu, ROM launcher and the MP3 player topandbottom screensbackgrounds. Nothing else if configurable.
皮肤:NinjaDS的图形界面支持换肤,你能重新定义主菜单,ROM Launcher和MP3播放器的上、下屏背景。
Backgrounds arereplaced simply by making your own 250x192 JPEG filesandplacing themin a folder named 'BACKGROUNDS' on the root of the SDcard.Here arethe necessary filenames:
背景用250x192的JPG文件直接替换掉SD卡根目录下“BACKGROUNDS”目录中的相应文件即可,下面是一些文件的含义:
主菜单:
- MenuUp.jpg
- MenuDown.jpg
ROM Launcher
- ExplorerUp.jpg
- ExplorerDown.jpg
MP3播放器:
- PlayerUp.jpg
- PlayerDown.jpg |

NinjaDS上的自制软件-Homebrew on the Ninja DS
Ihave tested seven popular homebrew softwares on the Ninja DS.Fourofwhich were modified by the Ninja DS team themselves to workontheNinja DS, these are clearly noted.
我测试了7个NDS上流行的自制软件,其中4个被NinjaDS小组修改过以适应在NinjaDS上运行,这点请注意。
Here are my results:
下面是我的结论:
- DS Organize 2.25 (Ninja DS 修改版):
-Works very well. All main features appear to work, and are abletosave.Homebrew download database works fine, and can download to theSDcard.IRC works fine also. The only problem seems to be that youcan'tboot anyNDS files from within DSOrganize.(运行得很好,所有的主要功能均能工作,并且能保存。自制软件下载数据库工作的不错,而且能下载到SD卡上,IRC同样工作的不错,仅有的问题就是不不能晕倒任何NDS文件) - Moonshell 1.4 (Ninja DS 修改版):
-Seems to work fine. MP3s, JPGs and TXT work, other pluginsseemtofunction. Error when trying to boot homebrew and NDS filesfromwithinMoonshell - "Not supportadapter".(似乎工作不错,MP3、JPG和TXT功能都K。其它插件似乎也很好。但是当我尝试在其下运行自制软件和NDS文件的时候Moonshell报告说“不支持的接口”) - PicoDrive 0.1.5 (Ninja DS 修改版):
-Works just as it should.(工作的很好) - Doom DS (Ninja DS 修改版):
-Requires 'doom.wad' and 'prboom.wad' to be placed on SD card root. Works fine, sound works, no lag, save states work.(要求 doom.wad文件和prboom。wab文件到SD卡的根目录,工作得不错,有声音,无延迟,存档OK) - BeUp 0.3 rev 2
- Works, but crashes soon after loading the contact list or when sending or recieving a message.(工作,但是在载入联系人列表和首发消息后很快死机) - NES DS
-Doesn't boot. White screens and corrupt icon in Ninja DS Launcher.(不能引导,白屏且图标错误) - SNEmulDS
-Doesn't work. Hangs when trying to initialise file system.(不能工作)
Asyoucansee, unless the homebrew app has been made to work with theNinjaDS,then chances of it working properly are slim. The good newsis thattheNinja DS team have released their 'FATLIB' so hopefullymoredeveloperswill implement support for this product in theirhomebrew.
如你所见,NinjadS对自制软件的支持还是有所不足的,好消息是NinjaDS即将放出它们的“FATLIB(分区表函数库,访问文件系统的开发函数库)”,到时候应该不会差。
There are two additional features of the Ninja DS thatare designedforhomebrew purposes. These are documented in theinstructionleafletincluded.
另外这里还有两个NinjaDS提及的功能,在说明书中也有提到。
The first of the two features is an option to automatically boot an.NDSfile from your SD card withoutentering the Ninja DS menu. Thisisachieved by renaming the file to'default.nds' and placing it intheroot of the SD card. Then turn onyour DS and while holding down the'L'trigger, enter the Ninja DS GUIand it will automatically bootthe'default.nds' file.
两个功能中的一个是在进入NinjaDS菜单的时候将自动运行一个 .NDS 文件。需要把你要自动运行的 .NDS文件改名教'default.nds' 然后放在SD卡的根目录下,当你按住L键不放打开NDS,进入NinjaDS的图形界面的时候将自动运行这个文件。
I tested this with a homebrew game called "Rubber Bands" and a backup ROM of "Yoshi Touch & Go"; both auto booted correctly.
我用一个叫“Rubber Bands”的自制软件和商业游戏“触摸耀西”做了测试,都能成功。
Thesecond additional feature is a homebrew flash area. Thereis1MB(megabyte) of onboard flash ROM that can be flashed with anyNDSfilethat will fit in its limited space. Unfortunately this featurehasnot yet been implemented, the team have told me that they'd ratherworkon other features and ROM compatibility first, this featurewillfollow soon.
另外一个功能就是在NinjaDS上有1M的自制软件闪存区,用户能够将任何自制软件刷到这个闪存区中去(当然容量不能超过1M了)。不过这个功能目前没有被加入,开发小组说他们的首要任务是提高ROM兼容性和其它功能,这个以后会做的。
总结-Conclusion
我把下面的话概要的翻译一下,不再逐段翻译了:
卡不错,做工好质量佳支持标准SD卡容量高。ROM兼容性有问题,不过可以通过升级固件改善。“NINJAME”和“1M自制软件闪存区”没有实现,而且单卡多用户功能无法工作这个问题不知道能不能通过升级固件来修复。如果NinjaDS小组继续支持这个产品还是有前途的。NinjaDS的一些特性如直接跑CleanROM还是很诱人的。其它的内建FTP服务器、看图工具、MP3播放等等想法也非常不错。作者感觉这个卡还是稍微早放出来了一点。
Now the Ninja DS has finally been released, how did it shape up?
TheNinja DS is by no means a terrible product. It's hardlythemostaesthetically pleasing product but this is due to the fact thatitusesstandard SD memory cards, large sizes of which (up to 2GB)canbepurchased very cheap these days. The cards build qualityissolidotherwise.
It seems to be early days for the Ninja DS, mostproblems it faces -themajority being ROM compatibility - can be fixedthroughfirmwareupdates, along with the missing features like"NINJAME" and the1MBhomebrew flash area. The issue with single cardmultiplayer - beingthatit doesn't work at all, is a big problem, andwe're uncertainwhetherthis can be fixed via a firmware update or not.
Whetheror not the team continues to support this product andfixtheseproblems can't be told... Though if they continue supportingitlikethey have done during my review, then mostcompatibilityproblemsshould be fixed in no time.
So, let's just hope their new line of products work on the same firmware as this version of the Ninja DS.
TheNinja DS does offer some very tempting features. The biggestofwhichis the ability to run clean ROMs without any kind ofpatchingormodification needed. The amount of time and fuss this savescomparedtoother kits on the market is staggering. The only thing you'llneedtokeep updated is the Ninja DS' firmware.
Other great featuresthis card has to offer are the FTP server -whichworks great, and isjust an excellent feature to have built in fromthestart, an option touse the card as a PassMe and boot toothercompatible GBA flash kits, abuilt in image viewer and MP3 player-though minimal at best are stillhandy, and other features soon tobeadded. The NINJAME option which issaid to boot .NDS files directlyonthe DS across your Wi-Fi networksounds like a very interestingfeature,but again; is still yet to come.
Overall,the Ninja DS feels like it was released a few weeks tooearly.Thefirmware needs work, and hopefully will recieve thenecessaryupdates.And if then, you can over look how the card sticksout, thenthe NinjaDS could be a very promising card.

Ninja DS
制造商: www.ninjads.com
shaunj66于 2006年9月12日
概要
NinjaDS是众多“次世代”NDS烧录卡中的一员。有啥子“次世代”的捏?因为次世代的烧录卡都只使用DS卡带槽嘛,和“初级产品”们使用GBA槽不一样。这样多出的GBA槽就可以让你插NDS的振动包和内存扩展卡了(目前只有OPERA浏览器用到了)。
大多数基于DS槽的烧录卡都自带了PassMe功能,这样你只要插上卡带开机就能玩了,让Passme和GBA烧录卡走开,简单易用。
NinjaDS在6个月前的06年3月第一次公布,但是很多人都认为他们是在用嘴把牛弄到天上去。但是事实上它是真的。
NinjaDS采用DS槽口的烧录设备,拥有标准的SD插口最大2GB的容量(实际上我觉得4GB的SD卡也是有可能在上面用的)。
让我们来简要的介绍一下NinjaDS值得夸耀的特性吧:
NinjaDS功能列表:
- "No Original Cart Needed(无须正版卡带)
- No GBA Flashcart Needed(无须GBA烧录卡)
- No Needed Flash NDS Or Included .DAT File In SD(不用给NDS刷机,也不用在SD上复制.DAT文件)
- Compatible With Any GBA flashcart,Nf,Scard,M3,Etc..(兼容所有的GBA槽烧录卡,什么SC、M3之类的)
- Supports Old/New NDS & NDS Lite(支持老版本的NDS和新的NDSL)
- SD Card Slot Bundled(内建SD插口)
- 2mbytes FlashROM(2MByte的闪存ROM)
- Friendly & Easy Menu(友好且使用简单的菜单)
- Homebrew/Backup Player & Development Tool(有自制/备份播放器[?]和开发工具)
- Libraries for Developers Available(有开发者用函数库)
- SD Card MP3 Player(带有支持SD卡上的MP3播放器)
- Wifi Connection"(支持WIfi联网)
包装和内容
NinjaDS有一个和老NDS一样高的包装盒(好棒)
(这段是描述盒子的,实在是…………,大家自己看看图就知道了,就是上面有个忍者像之类的,俺就节省时间好了)
包装内容
- 1x Ninja DS(Ninja DS一片)
- 1x Instructions leaflet(小说明书一张)
(继续描述无聊的包装和无聊的说明书,继续跳过)
The Ninja DS
NInjaDS目测大约有两块DS正版卡带大,而且只有白色
卡带下部分可以很好的插入DS卡带槽,整个卡带相当的牢固结实,没有太多弯曲和松动。整个卡带由6颗螺丝卡住。卡带前面是简单的NinjaDS标志,后面是LOGO和网址。
NinjaDS的总体品质非常好,但是要指出的是:首先,在电路板右下的地方(可以从照片上看到)有个电压调整器(变压器?)有点太高了。所以如果拧紧螺丝装好NinjaDS,这里会凸出来一些。不过注意,这不影响它在DS槽里面抽插。
第二个问题就是由于NinjaDS上面突出来一截,而且插得不是很紧,所以不小心就会把卡弄出来了。
第三点,还是因为卡长出来一截,所以万一被大力碰了一下卡带可能就玩完了。虽然NinjaDS看起来很结实,但是……还是注意一下吧。
NinjaDS的SD槽很好,使用简单方便
使用NinjaDS - Using the Ninja DS
NinjaDS使用有多简单?让我们来看看……
NinjaDS最让人兴奋的是他支持CLEANROM。对,太棒了!这意味着你根本不需要PC端软件对ROM进行转换、打补丁或者修改ROM(或者你对此有特殊的兴趣喜欢折腾?)
这里引用一下来自那片小使用说明的内容:
引用(Ninja DS使用说明)
1、简单的将你的MP3、JPG等文件拷贝到采用FAT16分区格式的SD卡上,把卡插入到Ninja DS上然后将其插入到NDS中
听起来很直接,继续
首先我们将SD卡用读卡器链接到电脑上,格式化成FAT16分区格式,然后将Clean ROM和一些自制软件文件拖到SD卡傻瓜内,并复制一些JPG和MP3文件测试下NinjaDS的媒体兼容性(后面有更多的)
牛B,不需要打不定,只要将SD卡从电脑移开,然后插入ninjaDS然后插入NDS,它就像一个真正的游戏卡了!
在DS主菜单中NinjaDS就像和普通的NDS游戏一样,电击图片进入以后你能看见NinjaDS的主菜单
NinjaDS的图形界面很漂亮,不但快而且支持皮肤,支持触摸,用起来也简单
主菜单有三个选项:Launcher、Media和Wifi。NinjaDS的界面支持触摸,但是同样可以用十字键操作
Launcher和名字所代表的意思一样,就是让你浏览SD看并选择ROM运行它们
Media有两个子菜单,“MP3”是一个MP3播放器,“Picture”能浏览你的JPG文件并查看它们
Wifi也有两个子菜单,“File Reciever”是一个自带的FTP服务器程序,而“NINJAME”是一个让你通过DSWifi网络载入并且运行程序的工具
选择 Launcher 将会出现SD卡带上的一个目录,目录和文件名限定用6个字符标示。当你打开装有NDS ROM的文件夹的时候,会出现它们的图标和文件名(还是只有6个字符)。
选定ROM以后顶部屏幕将显示这个ROM的更多资料,例如完整的ROM名称,发行商和游戏容量等
选择游戏图标以后将开始装载游戏,即时装载一个大游戏也只是有轻微的延迟。最大我感觉只有大约3秒的样子。
NDS ROM的存档处理得不错,它们保存在SD卡带根目录下的“SAV”文件夹中,采用未加工的256KB的.sav文件保存
如果你运行的游戏在SD卡上没有sav文件,或者你的SD卡干脆就没有SAV这个存档用的文件夹,那NinjaDS会帮你自动的建立(太好了,虽然是很简单的功能,但是很实用,国内的烧录卡小组应该学学!这才是人性化设计)
游戏存档是实时保存在SD卡带上的(不是像国内烧录卡一样,退出游戏重新关机、开机再进入的时候保存,赞!)。而且sav文件的名字和ROM名字保持一致性。不过这也意味着,你的游戏只能有一个sav文件(像M3之类的可以有好多个存档文件就爽了,不过游戏一般都提供几个存档位置的,也不是很要紧的功能)。
由于存档是保存在SD卡带上的,所以备份起来很简单。
而在NinjaDS的主菜单右下角还有两个选项。一个是GBA卡带的图标,这是一个PassMe设置(GBA卡,译者估计是用GBA烧录卡存储NDS ROM,然后那NinjaDS当Passme用的吧),另外一个是一台标明了数字的NDS,这个是SD卡的读取速度。
如果你的首选语言不是英语,NinjaDS的图形界面也有法语、德育、意大利语、西班牙语,而日语将在以后的固件升级中提供。
语言设置是根据你的NDS本体中的设置来进行的。
更新NinjaDS的固件是非常简单而安全的。首先去NinjaDS的网站下载最新的固件文件update.bin拷贝到SD卡带的根目录下,然后插入到NinjaDS中再插入到NDS上并打开电源,系统会自动找到更新,然后你确认一下是否更新即可。当然,注意你的NDS电池是不是足够,不要在红灯情况下更新固件,也不要在更新的时候关闭NDS,除非你想要一块Nintendo牌的砖头。
看,用NinjaDS还是非常简单吧,而且而且不用PC上的转换软件了
所有的东西直接拷贝到SD卡上就OK
OK,现在我们知道应该如何实用NinjaDS了,那我们继续看看它实际运行的情况?继续!
NinjaDS的性能
在评测的性能测试里面,我们使用一块 Sandisk Ultra II 1GB的SD卡,格式化成FAT16格式。固件采用 NinjaDS还在测试中的 1.02版。我们使用的机器是黑色的欧版未刷机的NDS Lite。
下面是彩色字的注解:
PASS: 玩起来和真正的卡带没有两样.
FAIL: 游戏无法载入甚至游戏在进入操作前就死掉了.
PROBLEMS: 游戏可以玩,但是有某些问题.
下面来看看各个测试游戏的实际测试情况(绿色可以玩而且没其它内容的,我就不翻译了,反正也只是简单的说可以玩而已)
- Animal Crossing Wild World(动物森林:禽兽世界。笑)
- PROBLEMS:(游戏可以玩,但是菜单和语音极其缓慢而声音断断续续。采用速度3,Wifi有问题,存档OK) - Asphalt Urban GT(沥青都市)
- PASS: Plays and saves fine. (Speed 2) - Big Brain Academy(头脑学校)
- PASS: Plays and saves fine. (Speed 2) - Castlevania DS(恶魔城)
- PASS:(片头在SPEED2模式下卡,但是SPEED3模式就很好了,其它正常) - Cooking Mama(蛋糕妈咪)
- PASS: Plays and saves fine. (Speed 2) - Crash Bandicoot Festival

- PASS: Plays and saves fine. (Speed 2) - Yoshi Touch and Go(触摸耀西)
- PASS: Plays and saves fine. (Speed 2)
如您所见,NinjaDS还是有兼容性的问题,在我测试期间,NinjaDS小组曾发送过几次更新的固件给我,除了当前在用的1.02以外我还尝试了1.00和1.01。
如果NinjaDS小组继续支持这个产品,还是有希望修复这些问题的。反之,你只会有一个不是有很强兼容性的产品
ROM兼容性并不是唯一的问题,在测试期间,我也碰到过一些图形界面方面的BUG。有些时候,当我载入ROM的时候,我看到了一个陌生的提示“ROM Error. Please restart ROM.(ROM错误,请重新开始ROM)”,强制关闭NDS电源重启后问题消失。
而另外还有其它的问题,在测试期间NinjaDS优势会建立很多错误的文件夹在你的SAV目录下,这些文件夹不能删除,只有格式化才能清除它们。这个问题似乎是在SD卡满了的时候发生。NinjaDS小组向我保证会很快的修复这个由于Chism的FAT驱动带来的问题。
杠杆发现的一个问题,单卡多人游戏方式似乎全部都不能工作,NDS会把错误的数据发给其它主机,接收方连任天堂的LOGO都是混乱的,并且网络链接断开。
目前该问题能否通过升级固件来解决还未可知
另外支持睡眠模式
NinjaDS的附加功能
让我们看看NinjaDS的其它功能,我们按照它们在图形界面中的循序来进行。
Media-Picture:一个简单的图片查看程序,支持JPG。图片载入很快捷(即使是高分辨率图)并且能延伸到两个屏幕。你能用触摸屏卷动图片查看就像在PC上用鼠标一样。此外菜单上还有缩放和退出两个图标。
Media-MP3:一个简单的MP3播放器,支持MP3,WAV,MOD和S3m格式,文件和目录浏览器在上屏幕而播放器在下屏幕。有播放、暂停、停止、播放全部,Shuffle和循环等功能目前似乎还不能用。
MP3播放器支持睡眠模式,关闭DS屏幕,可以继续通过耳机播放音乐。你可以把DS放在口袋里面继续听歌。
Wifi-Wifi FTP(新版固件中从“File Reciever”改名成“Wifi FTP”)是一个不错的FTP服务器,他使用NDS本体中的Wifi连接设定,用户名和密码都是“ninjads”。
这个FTP服务器工作得非常好,使用FlashFXP 软件我能连接和查看NinjaDS上SD卡的长文件名,在同一个房间中传输率在 20KB/s,虽然速度还不理想,但是这个功能确实好用,而且速度将在新版固件升级中得到改善。(连拷贝ROM都省掉了,当然爽啦!)
Wifi-NINJAME,这个功能是让你的DS直接通过Wifi网络运行NDS文件用的。但是目前该功能暂时不能工作,NinjaDS小组承诺近期会开放。
PassMe:这个是用GBA烧录卡,而NinjaDS当成PassMe的功能,用来引导GBA烧录卡用的
下面这些卡带通过了测试:
- M3 Adapter - PASSED
- Supercard - PASSED
- EZ Flash IV Lite - PASSED
- eWin 2 - PASSED
SD卡读取速度:右下角带数字的NDSL图标是控制SD卡的读取速度的。点击图标数字将在1,2,3之间切换,1最慢而3最快。速度3仅支持少数恶SD卡,例如Sandisk Ultra II系列。大部分SD卡推荐采用SPEED2模式。
皮肤:NinjaDS的图形界面支持换肤,你能重新定义主菜单,ROM Launcher和MP3播放器的上、下屏背景。
背景用250x192的JPG文件直接替换掉SD卡根目录下“BACKGROUNDS”目录中的相应文件即可,下面是一些文件的含义:
主菜单:
- MenuUp.jpg
- MenuDown.jpg
ROM Launcher
- ExplorerUp.jpg
- ExplorerDown.jpg
MP3播放器:
- PlayerUp.jpg
- PlayerDown.jpg |

NinjaDS上的自制软件
我测试了7个NDS上流行的自制软件,其中4个被NinjaDS小组修改过以适应在NinjaDS上运行,这点请注意。
下面是我的结论:
- DS Organize 2.25 (Ninja DS 修改版):
-(运行得很好,所有的主要功能均能工作,并且能保存。自制软件下载数据库工作的不错,而且能下载到SD卡上,IRC同样工作的不错,仅有的问题就是不不能晕倒任何NDS文件) - Moonshell 1.4 (Ninja DS 修改版):
-(似乎工作不错,MP3、JPG和TXT功能都K。其它插件似乎也很好。但是当我尝试在其下运行自制软件和NDS文件的时候Moonshell报告说“不支持的接口”) - PicoDrive 0.1.5 (Ninja DS 修改版):
-(工作的很好) - Doom DS (Ninja DS 修改版):
-(要求 doom.wad文件和prboom。wab文件到SD卡的根目录,工作得不错,有声音,无延迟,存档OK) - BeUp 0.3 rev 2
- (工作,但是在载入联系人列表和首发消息后很快死机) - NES DS
-(不能引导,白屏且图标错误) - SNEmulDS
-(不能工作)
如你所见,NinjadS对自制软件的支持还是有所不足的,好消息是NinjaDS即将放出它们的“FATLIB(分区表函数库,访问文件系统的开发函数库)”,到时候应该不会差。
另外这里还有两个NinjaDS提及的功能,在说明书中也有提到。
两个功能中的一个是在进入NinjaDS菜单的时候将自动运行一个 .NDS 文件。需要把你要自动运行的 .NDS文件改名教'default.nds' 然后放在SD卡的根目录下,当你按住L键不放打开NDS,进入NinjaDS的图形界面的时候将自动运行这个文件。
我用一个叫“Rubber Bands”的自制软件和商业游戏“触摸耀西”做了测试,都能成功。
另外一个功能就是在NinjaDS上有1M的自制软件闪存区,用户能够将任何自制软件刷到这个闪存区中去(当然容量不能超过1M了)。不过这个功能目前没有被加入,开发小组说他们的首要任务是提高ROM兼容性和其它功能,这个以后会做的。
总结
卡不错,做工好质量佳支持标准SD卡容量高。ROM兼容性有问题,不过可以通过升级固件改善。“NINJAME”和“1M自制软件闪存区”没有实现,而且单卡多用户功能无法工作这个问题不知道能不能通过升级固件来修复。如果NinjaDS小组继续支持这个产品还是有前途的。NinjaDS的一些特性如直接跑CleanROM还是很诱人的。其它的内建FTP服务器、看图工具、MP3播放等等想法也非常不错。作者感觉这个卡还是稍微早放出来了一点。
正面评价
+ Extremely easy to use(极其容易使用)
+ Supports clean ROMs(支持CleanROM)
+ Expandable memory - standard SD cards(支持扩展容量的SD卡)
+ Great automatic save game system(伟大的自动游戏存档功能)
+ Very nice additional built-in features - FTP, PassMe, media capabilities(FTP、PassMe、媒体播放器等内建功能非常不错)
+ GUI is nice, fast and simple(界面美观、简洁和快速)
+ Skinnable GUI(可以换皮肤)
+ Firmware updates seem to be very frequent(固件升级很频繁)
+ Supports sleep mode(支持休眠模式)
反面评价
- Ugly design - sticks out of the DS and impedes its portability(丑陋的设计)
- The current firmware can be buggy at times(目前的固件臭虫太多)
- ROM compatibility currently not too good(ROM兼容性还不是太好)
- Single card multi player doesn't work(单卡多人功能不支持)
- Some advertised features not yet working(一些功能还没有开放)
- Needs more support on the homebrew front(需要更好的支持自制软件)

从功能和概念上来说.完全达到了次时代了...
如果国内厂商跟进.那么就不用买那些贵的要死的tf卡了.
其实体积还是有缩小的余地的.
另外.说支持4G的sd卡是不现实的.文中说明了要用fat16的.怎么支持4G?
另外4G的文件系统也更改了.SDHC.目前之后新一代的数码相机才支持的格式.
我想烧录卡是不会支持的吧.
