Hacking The SuperCard DSTWO Beginner's Guide: How to Setup the DSTWO

[Terminator02]

Just to see if I got this right, the link at the top on the first page is (latest firmware) outdated right?

The site I'm getting it from says it will update it themselves though, so I'm covered there at least.

No, it's up to date. Just checked.

I get the error when trying to download the Latest EOS PatchSTWO patch (11-05-12)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function dintval() in /home/scforum/forum.supercard.cn/data/template/1_cloudsearch_module.tpl.php on line 85

Anyone can give me another link to download this patch

[Rydian]

You should to be safe. It covers the DSi/XL updates as well.

Hi I just bought a 3DS just today. Do i need to update the firmware on it first before doing the firmware update on the flashcard? Thanks very much and sorry if i repeated a previously asked question but really anxious about doing this since I just bought a 3ds today

 

[Rydian]

Never update the 3DS first! Updating the 3DS first is what CAUSES the cart to be blocked.

ALWAYS update the flash cart first.

Isn't it depressing how people still don't get this after how many years flash carts have come into existence?

 

[Rydian]

At least some people are asking first, instead of updating and finding their carts won't run.

 

[Shin Lee]

Alright thank you for that advice and sorry for asking

 

[Rydian]

Well, it's better to ask "can I update?" than ask "I updated wrong and it's broken how do I fix it?"

 

[Shin Lee]

Rydian another question if I may. I'm hearing that the new patch blocks out all flash cards. If i get the DSTwo can that bypass the update?

 

[Rydian]

The new patch doesn't block all flash carts, multiple carts already updated to get past it (like the DSTwo).

Not sure where to put this, but this seemed logical. I just got BAGplug working on my new dstwo and with the new patch that was released today(to cover 3ds 4.5) I didn't want to start over. I replaced the BAGplug "dstwo.nds" with the original and also renamed "boot.ini" to negate it. The dstwo then booted fine into the EOS system and updated.

This is probably normal for most but I couldn't find anything regarding this and I'm sure someone else might want to know. Thanks for reading.

Those using BAGplug UI and wanting to update:
 
1) Copy update to root of sdcard
2) In "/_dstwo" rename "dstwo.nds" and "boot.ini"
3) Copy "dstwo.nds" from original dstwo EOS download to "/_dstwo"
4) Put sdcard into DSTwo then into handheld system of choice(hopefully one that is updateable)
5) Run update after EOS prompts you
6) Work backwards, undoing steps 4 to 1
7) Good to go!

You should probably post that in the BAGPlug thread as well.

If you just rename the original dstwo.nds to something else, you can keep it on your card and just run it in BAGPlug to start the update without shifting files around.

Updated the cheats portions to point to the Codemasters Project forum, uploaded the latest database in the publicly updateable section of FileTrip.

Yeah! I didn't really think of it at first but now have it as a "bkupdstwo.nds." Cheers man for the rad UI.
