Homebrew HaxxStation and TWiLight Menu to install FlashMe?

guyman70718 · Apr 2, 2020

I have a SuperCard Micro SD and i'm getting a DS Lite in the mail soon. I want to install FlashMe on said DS Lite, and I lost my R4 card. I was wondering if I could use a 3DS or DSi with Twilight Menu to run HaxxStation to send the FlashMe installer to my DS Lite?

Yes, as a matter of fact it is. I just saw it being done from a Wii even.
You'll need to patch a copy of "DS Download station volume 1.nds" with this program:
https://github.com/RetroHeim-Soft/dspatch-gui
You'll need to patch it so that it can send over FlashMe, which you can find here: http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

After this you'll run the patched DS Download Station Volume 1.nds with twilightmenu++ on either system.

Then you should follow @KleinesSinchen 's guide on how to use FlashMe here:

Check the gbatemp thread above if you want to read some more about it. For any questions just ask, and also be careful when doing the FlashMe.

Good luck!

Thanks so much! Was hoping I wouldn't have to buy another R4 just for me to find it again next week. I may still buy one anyway but thanks!

Glad to help! Plus ordering stuff these days can be tricky with everything going on.

Can you just explain what each of the downloads for FlashMe do? I assume v8a latest is what I want, but what does noauto mean?

I wasn't sure myself but found the answer here:
https://www.1emulation.com/forums/topic/20876-flashme-tutorial-newbies-guide/

"This version will not remove the health warning and will not autoboot a slot-2 device unless you hold "Select""
The other versions are explained as well. Like stealth means that it won't remove the health and safety screen.

Does anyone know where to get FlashMe? All the links I've found are dead. What's up with that?

isn't flash me where you bridge two points in the battery compartment and flash hoping the battery doesn't fall out and brick? is there an easier way? or, am I thinking of something else? I wanted to do away with the health and safety screen, but it seems like a huge risk.

Yes that sounds like it. Super sketchy right? Is there another way? The firmware on my motherboard seems to have gone bad, and I'm looking for a substitute. My "super card" seems to boot fine from slot-2, which is why FlashMe seems like a good solution, but it seems like a sketchy install process and the program itself is hard to find.

it's too big a risk for me. I bought my ds in Japan, so it has sentimental value. if I had bought it here in the states, I might try it.

If it's a ds lite you can unbrick it pretty easily if you have another ds lite.
