Hacking Video about the history of DS Hacking

[bjiru]

Hello, I came on here a while back for help and clarification on the history of DS hacking, I made this video talking about the history of everything, and notable things from the timeline, thought I would put it here in case anyone was interested in learning about how things like the R4 and similar devices came to be like I was. Not sure if this is allowed, on here since is kinda self promo, plz delete if so

also this being THE place people would know, plz let me know any mistakes I might've made in my timeline, or any stories you have of if you were actually around back then in the scene. I would've been, but alas~... I was just 5 years old..

Till the end of a lawsuit 2016 it was allowed in germany to sell them in stores. The reason was because you could bypass copy protection measures with them and thats not allowed here.
But they were not sold in big electronic chains, as far as i can remember. But there was a little toy/gamestore in my city, who had them.

Saw your recent video just now, you've done an incredible job at explaining the history of DS hacking and flashcarts in general.

I saw it in my YouTube feed a few days ago and thought it was very well put together, fun whenever I see someone who's videos I've seen talks DS

Spoiler: Nitpicking

if I were to complain about one thing, SL1 is not a chip rather simply two metal pads on the motherboard that disable write protect on the actual firmware chip when bridged (connected by anything conductive) (an intentional feature probably used for programming in the factory)

the firmware is actually on the Wi-Fi module funnily enough, which is very helpful on DS Lite cause you can hotswap Wi-Fi cards in the FlashMe installer to fix a bricked console (example)

Omg thank you both for watching and responding on this post, SylverReZ I saw you a ton throughout the many posts I combed for the vid, and Pk11 I've used some of your projects before this is so crazy XD

I've been made aware about the SL1 inaccuracy too, my bad hehaaha
