    Hacking "Why was my cart blocked?" "How do I unblock it?" "Firmware update?"

    Nice writeup... wish I had seen it before starting a different thread. One question, though (same as the other thread), any rhyme or reason as to the choice of choice of cart to spoof?

    Hacking DSi/3DS Compatability Question

    Now that brings up an interesting question... when Nintendo blocks a flashcart using a particular real cart, does the real cart continue to work?

    Hacking DSi/3DS Compatability Question

    As I was updating my AK2i for compatibility with the latest DSi firmware, I started to wonder something- why do card makers choose the ROMS they do for spoofing the DSi firmware? For instance, in the case of the AK2i, an updated card shows up as Prince Caspian with the PC icon. I can remember...

    Hacking New Red 3DS 3.0.0-6u not reading Acekard 2i

    Let's start from the beginning... Did you update the firmware of the AK2i as well as AKAIO? The OP mentions updating the "loader", but I take that to mean updating AKAIO. The problem, though, is probably the firmware on the card itself, hence the comments about updating on an older DS. (You...

    Hacking ds lite does not fully work very well after case exhange

    The fact that the top screen flashes, but turns off immediately sounds like the connection to the BOTTOM screen is not inserted correctly. The lines on the top screen may mean that the top screen cable is also not inserted completely correctly, but I'd check after getting the bottom screen...

    DS #4561: Scooby-Doo! First Frights (USA)

    Maybe... until you get to "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" which was a great reboot. Too bad the WB's follow-up to it is so bad.

    DS #4561: Scooby-Doo! First Frights (USA)

    It is 3D. Overall, the gameplay feels *a lot* like the Lego games (Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman, etc.) with Scooby Snacks instead of studs, etc. I assume it was supposed to tie in with the made-for-TV live-action prequel. Personally, though, I wish they had just gone ahead and made Lego...

    Hacking Project: Transform a DSTT into a DSTTi

    A couple of thoughts... 1) Does a DSTT have enough flash memory for the DSTTi bootloader (i.e., is the DSTTi bootloader bigger)? 2) Is a genuine DSTT reflashable? Or are only some of the clones flashable?

    Hacking no upadate for the 1.4 firmware? (TTI)

    It may not be quite that simple... Most flash carts have some amount of flash to store the bootloader. The question is whether it is still writable or whether the DSTT team might have blown the 'write-enable" fuse during manufacturing. If they did blow the fuse, then the card is not updatable...

    Hacking 1.4 dsi fix using an ezflash Vi as helper

    I assume that the OP wants to use the update much like the flash-killer fixer for the DSTT: Boot some usable card in a DSLite, run the updater, swap in an AK2i and update.

    DS #4102: Pet Adoption Center (USA)

    When I look at the boxart, all I can think is: "Here's the story of a lovely lady, who was bringing up three very lovely pets..."

    Hacking 1.4J blocks ak2i

    I think there's a couple of issues at work that affect whether a given card will be able to be updated. First, the card has to store the bootstrap on some kind of flash memory, not a mask ROM, and that flash can be written to from a program running on the DS. If so, it would be like doing a...

    Does anybody know how Fossil Fighters is different from Dinosaur King which, itself, almost seems to be Pokemon with dinosaurs? Thanks...

    Hacking So, im going to conduct a risky operation, but I need some input

    Any possibility that the OP might be willing to sell the leftover motherboard cheap? I've got a neighbor's DSL here that I'd like to revive for him. [Oops... never mind, I just noticed that the OP is talking about Phats. Although if anyone has a spare DSL motherboard... :-)] Thanks... John

    Hacking Hello, This is Hyper-R4i running on DSi(French)

    Hyper-r4i, if you are still out there, when can we expect to see the Hyper R4i working with DSi firmware version 1.4?

    Hacking Is the DSTT dead?

    Well, I suspect we'll know soon. Now that DSi firmware 1.4 is here and had broken all existing flashcarts, including the DSTTi, the DSTT team is either going to have to announce an update for that card (hardware or software) or move on into obscurity.

    Hacking DSi & DS Lite stylus -- same size?

    As others have said, the DSi stylus is slightly longer; it also has a slightly shorter "hump" at the end. However... the stylus slot in the DSi has an opening long enough to accept a DS Lite stylus. So, if you've got a quantity of DS Lite styli, you can safely insert them into a DSi, but not...

    Hacking Unsupported DLDI Name

    YSmenu uses the internal name of the DLDI driver to determine what brand of card it is being used on. It appears to know about the drivers for the TTDS, original R4 and Acekard. Depending on what the R4i Neo hardare is a clone of, you will need to patch YSMENU.nds with the correct DLDI driver...

    Hacking Unofficial DSTT Kernel V1.17a01

    I'm curious.. has anybody tried Clone Wars on a DSTT (not R4) under YSmenu with a TTPATCH.dat from the a01 kernel? Does that combo work? John

    Just curious, but what does that one mean and why is it so important? John
