DSFetch

A fastfetch-style system information tool for the Nintendo DS & DSi. It shows an ASCII clamshell logo (DS Lite or DSi) on the top screen and a column of real system info — read straight from the console — on the bottom screen.

Port of 3ds-fastfetch to the DS/DSi, built with libnds.

Features

  • Auto-detects DS vs DSi mode at runtime; the DS Lite / DSi logo is chosen to match
  • Accurate hardware model, running mode, ARM9/ARM7 clocks, RAM size
  • Firmware username, language, favorite color, birthday, and greeting message
  • Battery level, RTC date & time, SD-card storage usage
  • MAC address (read from firmware); in DSi mode also region and serial number
  • neofetch-style color palette strip
  • Honest by design: any value that can't be read on the hardware is simply omitted

Running

Copy DSFetch.nds anywhere on your SD card except the /_nds/ folder (e.g. a roms/nds/ folder) and launch it from TWiLight Menu++ — or via a forwarder or any DS homebrew launcher.

Building

Requires devkitARM and libnds (libnds 2.0 / calico).

make            # -> DSFetch.nds

Credits & inspiration

A port of my own 3ds-fastfetch, itself inspired by fastfetch. Built on libnds / devkitPro.
