Okay, this happend me with my Zelda DS Lite, have v5 fimware, but im not sure why this happend, you have 3 methods:

1.- Blow DS Slot or GBA Slot
I fixed my Zelda DS Lite doing this, i don't know why is the reason.

2.-Open it and clean with Alcohol the motherboard/ DS Slot /GBA Slot

3.- Re-solder DS Slot or GBA Slot


Why is the reason because freezes?
i don't know, but method 1 fixed my DS Lite from this.

And that's all ._.

pls don't kick me im only trying to help people lol

likely this is a damaged wireless card (as all three areas use the card it doesnt know what to do and just freezes)

Nope, i never used Custom Fimware in my DSes
but wireless card how can damage? ._____.
i mean... i don't opened my ds lite because always freezes in settings or DS download mode or PictoChat...! i just blow it in the GBA slot and worked like new.
Also, removing the battery when this is happening won't work.

it can either be that the wifi card is having issues (these things are old remember) or that theres a short, id reccomend first opening up the system and cleaning it out (if youre brave enough) then trying again.

Well, my Zelda DS Lite is repaired by me, but of course, i cleaned all the motherboard, but after 3 days, the system was started to fail, i just removed my GBA Game and blow the slot and re-insert the game and worked xD
Also, i mean with the battery don't work, still have profile data and hour frezeed.

Also, i founded this DS lite very cheap. (of course, doesn't worked)

do you have any games you can test with wifi / multiplayer (such as mario kart ds) try booting into it, if it freezes its a problem with the wifi card, otherwise its something else

and what did you clean it with a moist cloth and anti-static pc stuff? also fun-fact blowing on cartridges and cleaning them doesnt actually fix the circuitry but may temporarly bridge the circuit depending on the liquid (such as spit in a cartridge from blowing)

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such

    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it

    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest

    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
