A DSiWare Exploit for The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition

This was originally exploited by yellows8, so check out his repo of 4swordshax. This is only a stage 1 exploit since I really did this to experiment/learn about DSiWare Exploitation. If you wanted to just boot into the nds hbmenu with this, I suggest looking at yellows8's repo. I will update this time to time to add either some enhancements or fix builds. One of them, making both screens change color instead of just the top screen. I'll maybe add nds-hbmenu support

What does this do?

• Runs a stage 1 payload, thus a blue screen on your top screen of your DSi/3DS.

How do I trigger the exploit?

• You don't have to. It's autoboot so just enter the app on your DSi/3DS.

Compiling Issues

When compiling the source from this repo, you'll probably get an error like this:

/tmp/ccoM3Ozf.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccoM3Ozf.s: Error: unaligned opcodes detected in executable segment

I'll fix it once I get the chance, for now I don't think it's needed since all of the saves for each region is in this repo. Feel free for pull-requests
