Hacking FlasahMe and Wii Compatibility

[XtremeResident]

Someone at work told me they wouldnt be compatble with each other if the DS is flashed. Please tell me this is not true..

 

[bryehn]

I'll let you know on November 19 when I bring home my Wii.

Wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo tried something like that though..

 

[Brouhaha]

Although it is possible, please tell the guy at work to buy me winning loto tickets. Unless he can't predict the future...

 

[mthrnite]

I bet you'll be able to flash your Wii... "developers" are gonna be all over that suckah!

 

[XtremeResident]

What games are going to be compatible with the Wii on launch anyway?

 

[htoxad]

I think it's just going to be Pokemon Revolution, which is only coming out in Japan this year.

 

[Renegade_R]

I heard from a super secret source that when a DS with FlashMe syncs with the Wii, it gets bricked.

 

[sanghoku]

how about syncing with a superkey kindof thing?

 

[Heran Bago]

I heard from a super secret source:
lol internet rumors.

 

[Digeman]

Well shouldn't it work with the new Ds-slot cards? Like acekard etc.?

 

[adgloride]

I can't see how it will be any different from connecting to another DS.

When I flashed my Wii, I got arrested for indecent exposure....

[omegatr0n]

speculation is the most retarted aspect of the online world...everyone is so eagar to have what they think come true that they tell everyone in thier mother...I hate it

 

[Madrigal]

Just another reason why I'm perfectly content just using my Superkey and not flashing.

i thought you couldnt brick a ds unless you bad flashed it. thats why you had to bridge the board in order to flash to the bios.

 

[omegatr0n]

you are correct nntb...thier is no way to brick your ndls via a nintendo WII

 

[onmyown]

I'm pretty sure Renegade_R was being sarcastic though.

But there is a likelihood that a flashed DS might not work with the Wii.. let's hope not.

Uhm, no. The SL1 jumper is write protection for only the first some odd bytes of the DS's firmware, the rest of it is free to be written to by anything w/ the code to do so. For example, this is where your wifi settings are stored and obviously one does not need to bridge the SL1 change their wifi settings. Also the Taihen trojan is quite capable of bricking your DS w/o you bridging the SL1 jumper.

Flashme puts its recovery code in those bytes that are protected by the SL1 jumper so that if something were to foul up the unprotected part you would still be able to re-flash it. On a non-flashme'ed DS there is no recovery code, so even though the code in the protected area is still intact there is no way to "fix" the parts that have been trashed w/o something like PPFlash and a fair amount of technical and soldering skills.

Not true, something like the Taihen trojan could just as easily be written as a "DS downloadable" version and sent via anything that the DS can download software from (ie another DS or Wii). It's highly unlikely, but it is possible.

So i guess we can conclude that a flashed DS ________ work with the Wii


please fill in the blank. [will/will not]


easiest way to put it..
