i just purchased a Japanese DSi on version 1.0J. the thing unfortunately has been pretty much locked up with parental controls, & i cannot reset it using Nintendo's master key system or any other master key systems. I've been provided with the same master key from several different tools & Nintendo themselves & it simply doesn't work on the system. I have Twilight Menu++ installed on it as well. is there anything i can do to remove parental controls ?

Yessir. Both websites provide me with the exact same code & that code doesn't work. Nintendo themselves also tried giving me that same code through support, then told me they couldn't do anything else for me when I told them that key doesn't work. I think master keys only work on DSi's running Version 1.1 or later which pretty much nullifies any shot I have at using master key unlocks.

What about updating the FW? Are you unable to do so, because of Parental Controls?

Would you really want to update a console on 1.0? Doesn't sound like a good idea.

No idea if initial setup works on HiyaCFW, but worth a try (I would not want to write to NAND like randomly deleting files not knowing what I'm doing, so this would be my first step).

At some location the pin must be stored. Maybe the current pin can be extracted with a hexeditor?

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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".

    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
