    Hacking dead sky3ds?

    Got an email from the reseller that said basically the same things in this thread. Nothing seemed to be working, then I just sort of squeezed the two faces of the cart while the card was in it, then lo and behold it started loading again. Maybe it was indeed the pins not making contact.

I've already sent a question to the vendor about replacement, but if they...

    Makers often spend far more money building things than it would have been just to buy one off the shelf.

    Hacking DIY Flashcarts

    lukas_2511: I would argue that "not worth the effort" is highly subjective, but thorasgar's comment seems to back you up quite nicely. :) Now to go try once again to wade through the scary dead threads to find a decent place to buy carts.

    Hacking DIY Flashcarts

    Pardon me if this is a silly question, I'm new here: Has there been any effort to put together a DIY flashcart project for those of us who have the requisite skills & equipment? For instance: - Reverse-engineer or design the circuit - Etch, drill, and populate the PCB - 3d print the plastic...
