Where Do the Links on ds-homebrew.com Take Me?
Updated
ds-homebrew.com is not a content site — it is a redirect hub. The page exists only to point visitors to the actual DS-Homebrew destinations, so if you landed there expecting downloads, documentation, or a community server, you need to pick the right link from the list. Each entry serves a different purpose, and choosing the wrong one is the most common reason people end up confused about where the files or guides actually live.
The five destinations on the page
The site lists these links, each pointing to a separate DS-Homebrew resource:
| Link | What it is for |
|---|---|
| The DS-Homebrew wiki | Documentation and guides |
| The flashcard archive | Downloadable flashcard-related files |
| The TWiLight Menu++ skins site | Downloadable custom skins for TWiLight Menu++ |
| TWiLight Menu++'s manual | Usage instructions for TWiLight Menu++ |
| The DS(i) Mode Hacking Discord server | Community and support |
The page also notes that the site itself is open source, with an "Improve this page" link.
Which link do you actually need?
The right choice depends on what you are trying to do:
- You want to understand how something works or follow a setup guide → go to the DS-Homebrew wiki. This is the documentation and guide destination, not a download page.
- You want files for a flashcard → go to the flashcard archive. This is where downloadable flashcard content is hosted.
- You want to change how TWiLight Menu++ looks → go to the TWiLight Menu++ skins site, which hosts downloadable skins.
- You want instructions for using TWiLight Menu++ itself → go to TWiLight Menu++'s manual. Note this is distinct from the wiki: the manual covers operating the menu, while the wiki covers broader documentation.
- You want to ask a question, report a problem, or follow development chatter → join the DS(i) Mode Hacking Discord server, which serves the support and community role.
Why the distinction matters
Because ds-homebrew.com is only a redirect page, it hosts none of the content itself. If a link appears broken or you cannot find a file on the page, that is expected — the page is a signpost, not a repository. The practical takeaway is to bookmark the specific destination you use most (wiki, archive, skins site, manual, or Discord) rather than the redirect page, so you skip the extra hop each time.
