Quick tl:dr on DSBrick
A long long time ago in 2005, some homebrew developer produced two trojans. One, DSBrickA/r0mloader, pretended to be a tool to run games. The other, DSBrickB/taihen was a hentai slideshow. Both of these would brick your DS when run by filling at much of it as possible with...
The main version system people use for DS firmwares does not work. I'm talking about the PictoChat color test to give firmwares labels like "v1" to "v7". I think it was okay when people first started discussing it. PassME was still being used and I'd guess there wasn't much in the way of...
I almost see the radio tower in my city as a friend. It’s weird to think of an inanimate object as a friend, especially a giant metal pole, but everywhere I go the radio tower is there for me. When I’m lost, I look into the sky and I can see the radio tower. When I’m trying to see how far away I...
DS Cart Mod To Make A WiFi Board Flasher
A few months ago I came across a repair/modding blog where DS carts were used as donors for repairing DS lite WiFi boards (these store the firmware). The blog showed how the flash chips in game carts and WiFi boards were interchangable, which was...
One thing we're all taught from a young age is to be safe online. Keep good passwords, don't reveal personal information, etc. And who loves to teach us those lessons? Our schools. So why do they fail so horribly at internet safety?
Our school made recent changes to the system to set all of our...
Recently I've been obsessed with the iQue DSes. It all started during a discussion with my friend @ufo. He was wanting to install iQue firmware on a non-iQue unit, but it wouldn't work. I took a look and noticed that the iQue firmware was 512kb as opposed to the regular 256kb size for other...
Note about editing (or lack thereof):
Walking is, as I've said many times in the past, my best way of relaxing and clearing my head. Walking offers something I've never gotten from anything else.
There's the excitement of exploring new towns and cities, and the the relaxation of just...
Note: this article may be a fair bit less humble than my other posts, so my apologies for that. It's hard for me to write about my accomplishments without sounding like I'm bragging...
As we reach the end of 2022, I'd like to take a moment to look back on this year. Normally I'd move on...
I did it again... I bought another DS console, bringing my collection to 2 DSi XLs, 1 DSi, 1 2DS, and 2 DS lites. I know I need to stop, but I couldn't help it when I saw this $20 DS lite.
Sure, it may have had years of grime and a nasty crust all over it, but I thought it was cleanable. It...
This is the final entry (or so I hope) of the "poor 3DS" series. Enjoy.

Spring, 2022: Damn this console's owner. I got...
This article was slammed together in a rush, don't expect any fancy/readable writing. Okay, have fun.
My friends have been trying to push me off of popular data hoarding apps and onto privacy oriented ones. While doing so would probably be a good idea, I have an issue with it that'll keep me...
Apologies for how rough this is going to be. I'm too tired to do editing, and I'm trying to recall events from weeks ago.
I was visiting an open house for my old environmental leadership class (run by this semester's kids), when a politician came in. He asked a lot about the program and was...
(idk you don't have to read this, it's just me dumping my feelings)
I've been in a... less desirable headspace as of late. I've found that walking cures how I feel.
When I'm feeling like screaming at someone, I go out and walk for 8-10 hours. I don't go anywhere in particular, I just let my...
I was walking to the bank when this peculiar man approached me. He asked, "why are you still wearing a mask?*" "I just like masks I guess", I reply. "You are not free", he says, "You need to break free of the chains of society. Have you heard of <insert names of authors I forget>? Read their...
I'm now sitting at my table, with my boots, socks, gloves, mask, coat, and pants soaked with ice cold slush water. Our class went skiing today*, and some people and I had a race. I was the fastest person, far ahead of anyone else, when the snow beneath me opened up. I fell belly first into a...
I played around with the 3D effects for a bit (I've only ever had a 2DS, so it was neat to see), then set up my flashcart. I flashed ntrboot, looked for a magnet, held some buttons, and I was on the b9s installer.
Did some more boring stuff like backing up the NAND, then I installed Luma3DS. I...
Sorry if I keep on putting out blogs and annoy everyone, but IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS!
Look! I swapped batteries (the original one was completely dead) and it worked!
But wait... didn't he say it was bricked? That really doesn't look like a brick to me. Unless brick = working perfectly.
All...
Today a friend gave my his 3DS to fix. He had bricked it back in 2018, and had no idea what to do.
Note: the hinge is purely cosmetic. His friend dropped it a bit before it got bricked
I took the 3DS and looked it over. I felt sorry for that thing. The top screen was barely connected (it was...
Finally, after all the bad news flying around for 2 years, I've gotten tired of it.
Every day I hear my parents talk about people that died, idiots that spread COVID, anti-vaxxers, trumpers, people who are suddenly homeless, governments that make poor decisions, new variants..., you name it...
This December I'll be able to see my grandparents after 20 months. Yay! But there's a problem. You see, I have longer hair now (a little ponytail). My grandparents believe men should never have longer hair. I've been out with them and seen them point and whisper (more like speak loudly) about...

If just for PC I would recommend an external hard drive like 2 TB and just build your own bootable drive -

Although even if it's the steam deck and a 1TB MicroSD I would still recommend building it yourself.... Almost all the builds I tried just sucked
