Bricked DS Lite

I like how darkfaders' evil creation is still haunting DS users after all these years.
I got flashme installed on all my DS's, so no worries though.

Some nice legacy info about the guy that is responsible for the best, and worst devlopment projects for DS.

 

Also, you can fix your DS by performing the BIOS-swap trick!
This is relatively easy to perform in comparison with ppflash, might be good to add on the front page..

 

We live in 2011. A Flashme version with full DS Lite support has been out for over four years.


Also, I think I read that newer DS Lite revisions protect more of their BIOS flash.

 

Nothing will happen. The firmware/encryption is not alike.

 

if someone asks why someone make this code it is easy just 5-10 lines.

Also after that everyone can injekt a new arm7 file into a nds. It do not even take a min. Anyway be happy it was a only this virus I know someone who made (only made never released (only on some chat)) that is better than this some facts about this (better) Virus

It has an injekter that injekt it into ds files and add data that restor the original crc32 (crc64 is of cause different)

destroy some hw (I don't know how that work and I won't test it)

if a emulater was used the payload is not executed the game start normaly if it is started on an real ds it need some time but than it starts normaly as well but may crash at some points. But as soon as you restart the ds it is bricked

has change code every time you use the injektor so it bypass all trys to detect this in a never tested file

ther is more but I forgott that sorry and i don't have the file anymore.

 

Just Installer FlashMe v8 for this.

And also cleaned my Cyclo DS contacts and DS Slot1 contacts. (Brasso ftw)

 

That makes it very hard to believe your story.

 

[Removed by Staff -- please don't post that sort of code here.]

ok the result is the same more than 10 lines but still easy and the 10 lines are not for the better one only for the original

 

Actually, I have a DS Phat that was bricker proof right out of the box. (SL1 shorting was required for 100% of the Flashme installation, not just 25%, which also means it would have needed to be shorted, to brick the firmware as well.)

 

Ah. I haven't looked at FlashMe since I flashed my fat, and decided I didn't want to lose my briteness settings on my lite and Slot 1 carts had made it mostly unnecessary. I honestly never looked at it again... Maybe I'll finally flash my lite then. Thanks. :-D

 

So the DSi/XL's are COMPLETELY safe from these bricking programs?

 

Anything can brick if just the right circumstances happen to appear. But as for the DS/DSL brickers, no.

You can download your rom from whatever warez source you find, but just make sure you check it with a trusted dat file, before installing on your flash card. I use no-intro. Your rom will be checked by CRC32, MD5, and SHA1. If it passes all 3 checks, you can bet your first-born son the rom is good.

 

That's what you get for not protecting your DS and being lazy.

See what I did there?

 

One tip: You shouldn't download a game that is a known Crashme file.

 

best advice ever i flashed mine after that was annonced that someone bricked its ds lite

 

man, it's great telling this, now i can be more cautious on this, could someone explain me about flashme and crashme?
Thanks for posting xD

 

Does anyone have the CRC32 checksum of this file and can post it here?
