DS-DOS v0.21: MS-DOS-flavored file browser, now on v0.41 UPDATE

Yes, it's another operating system emulator and this time it's a DOS emulator for the Nintendo DS. Created as a NEO Compo 2008 entry by wolped, DS-DOS is an MS-DOS clone that serves as a file browser for the DS. Like the operating system that it was based on, DS-DOS will let users view, copy, move, delete, and rename files with the appropriate DOS commands, as enumerated below:

date displays the date
time displays the time
cls clears the screen
help displays help
ver displays DS-DOS version
del allows deleting of files copy allows copying of files
move allows moving of files
ren allows renaming of files
dir displays a list of files and directories in current directory
cd change the current directory
lock locks the filesystem, preventing use of del/copy/move/ren
ulok unlocks the filesystem allowing use of del/copy/move/ren

DS-DOS can also boot .nds files, which can be done by typing the filename. If the .nds file is placed in a folder, you need to type in the entire path (foldermyndsfile.nds) unless it's placed in the current active folder. There's a caveat, however: commands longer than five characters have the tendency to "break" certain commands. When this happens, simply restart DS-DOS.

To make use of this application, simply download the application from the link below. Make sure to check out the readme before installation. Enjoy!

*UPDATE* Nintendo DS homebrew developer wolped tweaked a bit with the entry DS-DOS, upping the version numbers to 0.41. The lone change? He added "Ability to copy files between cards." wolped added that the new function will allow "Copying/Moving/Deleting/Renaming on a secondary device." Check out the download below.

This is like the first time I hope an app was released for the PSP and not for the DS.
