Alex4U,


Two questions.

  1. How did you effigy this out? got some data or source information to ostend this finding?
  2. How does this not just… impairment the system in question, or the game tused to test? It wasn’t until the DSi that it was even able to be possible to unplug the DS cart without turning off the system.


1.-https://www.acidmods.com/forum/alphabetize.php?topic=15112.0

2.- Game & console doesn’t damage, because the panel doesn’t have access in GBA/DS game while you’re in PictoChat.
edit: any game (except R4/ GBA Flashcard) works, i tested with Pokémon White Version (JP) and Sonic Advace iii (u.s.a.) and worked too.

Alex4U,

I wasn’t aware the DS had different firmware versions.

Why does it?


I wasn’t enlightened the DS had different firmware versions.

Why does it?

it’south like Nintendo 3DS fimwares.
im currently researching, only i can’t detect any differences beetween fimwares…
Peradventure is more fastest, supports more ds games, or something like that? i don’t know… i
CAN’T FIND ANY Data!!!!!1


IIRC, v1/v2 was able to do a passme over wifi, and v3 and later on fixed that issues. What had happened, is that the earlier versions had in fact done the signature check on the transmitted binary, just went ahead and used the header of the download play offer packet rather than the header of the actual transmitted download play binary to jump to entry bespeak.

As well, v5 IIRC introduced screen brightness adjustments, when it sees the appropriate power management chip on the system.

That is all I know in regards of that.

(Passme was the means of running homebrew using a GBA based meaty flash reader cartridge.

Ok, now I know I have a v5 Blackness DS Lite, thank you!


personally i have a bluish ds phat with v4

All original DSes which came with V5 out of the factory (OP’southward test is unreliable if you ever installed a cfw) have the DS Lite regulator, and can indeed be upgraded to ajustable effulgence with FlashMe!

Thanks I have a v5 white DS Lite!

Flashme v7/v8 are pinkish, being based on V5

Flashme v7/v8 are pink, being based on V5

thanks now the list is complete…


Okay, and what exactly is the significance of this? And what’s required to use FlashMe, and what can FlashMe to?

I accept a v5 (two magenta screens) DS Lite, cobalt blue and black.

Flashme protects against bricks and lets you boot a GBA menu in NDS mode without a Passcard.

Edit: this info has been known for years and is nothing new.

Are there any perks to booting GBA cards in DS manner?

Are there whatever perks to booting GBA cards in DS manner?

You can run NDS lawmaking from the GBA card.
And backup NDS games to the GBA card.

Edit: and you tin recover a bricked DS (if FlashMe is installed) with a GBA card.

And what’due south required to use FlashMe, and what can FlashMe to?

To install it, but a flashcard and a metal tool (particularly on a Low-cal, it may exist easier to remove the back embrace and firmly tape the battery in place, to avoid hit the VRs)

Features of Flashme:
On a V5+-from-the-manufacturing plant original DS, unlock adjustable brightness
On original DS and early Lites, brick protection (afterwards Lites should take it in hardware) (to really recover from the brick you’ll need a flashcard running flashme.nds as early equally possible, for instance on an original R4 you catechumen it to _ds_menu.dat)
Complimentary Passme if you have a slot-ii flashcard
Skipping the boot animation, depending on the version you cull (power button to rom selection in less than three seconds on my original R4 with YSmenu)
Unsigned applications via download play (run homebrew with WifiMe if y’all reeeeally are bored + your friend with a DSOne isn’t forced to plough off cheats when he wants to stream a game to your console)
