I just got an older DSi from a friend who had been running it with (what I assume is a) fake DSTTi Gold card. It had been working, he said, until he fooled around with the system - I think he updated the DSi. It is now at v1.4.5U. Now the card gives an "error has occurred" screen.

The card is black with www.ndstti.cn across the top; TTDSi written diagonally across the center; the word GOLD in a gold burst symbol; and DSTTi For NDS/NDSL/NDSi written across the bottom. I haven't opened the card, but I can see a small portion above the contacts and the board looks to be green.

Like I said, I assume it's a fake. My question is this: I found this page - http://dstti.cc/index.htm - with DSTTI v3.4 updated January 25th of last year (2013) available. Would this be safe to run on this card? What is the chance of possibility that doing this would brick either the card, or more importantly, the DSi? If this is not the software I want/need, could someone point me in the right direction?

I'd really appreciate it. Thanks :)

You can not brick the DSi, but you also can not run the update on the DSi, because the cart will not run.
You need a DSLite or DSPhat to run the update. After that you should be set- assuming the update bypasses 1.4.5.

Crap! I didn't even think about that! I may have a DS Lite I can get running to do the upgrade. I will try that tomorrow if I can find it. Thank you!

So will what I am trying to do brick anything? Or what are the chances?

Don't listen to Yedi69 in this case. He is a supercard master race user. He always seems to follow my posts :unsure: //obvious trolling is apparently not obvious.
Actually its Yepi, reading would be nice.

Also, I've had multiple flashcards even DSi ones, also I don't spend my life tracking your posts nor care about your posts, I was just here to correct you and help our friend here, thank you and good bye.

Alright, you win Yedi boy ;0;


The only way you can brick your DSi is if you attempt to modify the system via something link NDSLink, which even then, NDSLink has never actually bricked a DSi.
What you are doing will not brick anything.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
