Hacking Can I turn my cart into another cart/flashcart?

[chandler_chantor]

So basically, I have this old, outdated cart. It's a codebreaker lite for the DS: It's more or less just a basic code resource for games around 2005-2008 launch period(for example, has both pokemon pearl/diamond but no platinum). Obviously, I have no need for something like that, when I can just get a action replay if I want to cheat this badly. This thing has been collecting dust, and I want to make it useful. I would like to turn the cartridge into a whole another game altogether. How would I go about this? I know I would be investing in large amounts of time and money, but I want to get started. Call it a little pet project of mine. So, has anyone done anything like this here before? About how much would the tools and ect set me back financially?

Didn't intentionally dig out a old thread.

Please do. I am interested in learning how to erase a non-erasable mask ROM and rewrite it with different contents.

I think it's not possible... maybe what we can do is replace the rom or maybe something with bootleg games

...as in "we took a generic flash cart and taped in a microSD card containing a ROM image" bootlegs?

Yeah, hacking those consists of "remove the microSD card and replace the ROM image".

Well actually use this method ^
I wasn't gonna make a page on that, but rather re-flashing the chip, but now that GerbilSoft has given that method, just use that

re-flashing what chip?

 

[Pomegrenade]

re-flashing what chip?

Uh the (game) chip, but it's quite a strenuous process

 

[gnmmarechal]

Uh the rom chip, but it's quite a strenuous process

You can't rewrite a ROM chip. It's Read-Only.

Strenuous because it's not possible?

That's why you have to use a bootleg game (if you don't know, pls don't write unnecessary things, it's not helpful)

Sorry but I don't think many people own a bootleg anything and want to go through the work of turning it into something else. If anything flashcarts are super cheap, possibly cheaper than a bootleg.
