I have a question, could you make a custom ds bios, and if so could you point me in the direction of the information to do so?
Nice one word post, bro.Why?
It's a serious question. There's already firmware modification tools/techniques to do things like remove the health&safety screen, etc.Nice one word post, bro.
Lite can have part of the settings overwritten causing it to skip screens, and you can always replace the chips on the motherboard (like some people do for NES ROM hacks, transferring to original carts.On-topic: There are no tools to modify the DS firmware. Even if there were, there is no way to get it back on the device, the FW is read-only.
Yes, you can install a modified DS firmware and yes, it has been done before as seen above. Not sure how the modifications were done, but I'm assuming that via painstakingly fiddling with the original firmware in a hex editor or a similar tool which makes it pretty difficult for us, mere mortals.On-topic: There are no tools to modify the DS firmware.

Let's just say that this is not something you'd want to screw up, so unless you have the hardware capable of flashing your system in the (likely) event of screwing up the firmware modification, you'd have means of fixing it. Moreover, you need something to dump the firmware with, unless you find a copy of it floating on the Internet.I have a few small to medium tweeks that I want to make myself, starting with somthing like skipping the health screen, like flashme, but it would be for learning.
Keep in mind that emulators are not 100% accurate and often ignore errors. Only testing on actual hardware gives you the full picture.I know, I would test with an emulator, as some support it. I do know that could cause my dses internals to implode.
Alright, chill. In that case, you'll have to Google for resources on how the DS works, what are all the registers and calls the hardware does and so-on and so-forth.I know these things, why else would I be treing to learn low level stuff like this?
Uhh... guys? FlashMe? That's probably all the OP needs, unless he'll specify what kinds of modifications he's interested in.
