Sorry for the newbie question but i am planning on purchasing the G6 lite and Passcard 3 soon. It is my understanding that I still need to flash the DSL. Can I simply follow the instructions in the tuturiol (sp?) listed here, plugging the g6 lite in the gba slot and the passcard 3 in the nds slot? Also, I heard that a new version of the g6 lite in english is going to be released in the next week or two, is this true? Thanks for the help

you need the passcard if you want to flash your lite, then you dont need the passcard anymore, but you dont have to flash and can continue using the passcard instead.

yes, it seems the g6 lite english version will be released soon.

greetings, mars

thanks for the response and for clearing that up. Last question, does anyone have a good picture of the tool they used to flash? I know about the toothpick and foil wrapped in electric tape but am not 100% clear on how to construct this and want to be postive before bricking my dsl when trying to install.

I just used a small Allen key/Allen wrench/hex key which worked fine and didn't need any messing around with foil or tape. Depends if you have a set handy to use I guess.

Edit: Check the Guide to FlashMe for a video on "How to make a DS Lite Flashing tool" if you want to use that method.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
