ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




if you can still boot your flash cart e.g r4ds


downlaod noflash me and it will unflash your ds resluting in back to normail firmware with means un bricked!!!

if you can boot your flash cart you still have all hope or most likely a 99% hope it will work

Hahahaha you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!

Noflashme restores the firmware to the original, but it doesn't unbrick a bricked DS. If you're trying to reinstall firmware, you might as well go with flashme.

Well, I tried to flash my DS (without it being plugged in). I tried to do the flashing trick with a paper clip, but it shut off almost immediately. Now it won't even turn on, or charge. I think I might need a new battery, but is there a way to see if I need one or is there some way around calling up Nintendo to get a new one? I really hope, if anything, it's only the battery and not the whole DS.

Don't forget that either...

If the DS is power light is red maybe. If it's green and it turns red it's unlikely for the DS to drain until shutdown during the process unless you have a really bad battery, cause a red light can keep the DS going for another 15 minutes in a demanding game. But if the battery was green, does it really matter? Seriously have any of you tried to take out the battery while the DS is charging? IT SHUTS OFF. Hooked up to a powersource or not the DS still relies on the battery or it won't power on. With your DS upside down the battery exposed and having to hold a toothpick firmly in a position and risking brickage if just one of those things goes wrong, the last thing you want is having to be careful about a power cord sticking out of it aswell, so I suggest you don't further complicate yourself just do it with a green battery.

It's still recommended that you plug the DS in while flashing. It's been said so many times that I have to think that it's for a better reason than just "so it doesn't run out of battery"

Maybe the fact that it's plugged in makes it less likely to shut off unintentionally or something.

If I remeber correctly it won't shut off, as long as it's plugged in when the battery falls out. That's the reason why plugging it in is recommended.

You do not remember correctly.

There is actually no good reason for charging your DS while flashing. If anything, It increases the chance of a blown fuse.

dunnno on a fat, i dont have one to test it on... but as a cautionary note:

Make sure it is discharged a little before trying
plug it in and then remove the battery cover
pull the battery... it'll either stay on or shut off
if it stays on, i wouldnt run it for a long time like this, kida stressfull on the charger i would think
turn it off and unplug it before putting the battery back in

I don't understand why people like flashing their DS' even with that huge risk.
And all it does is skip a stupid health screen.

Because the "huge" risk is almost zero if the user bothers to take precautions and doesn't blindly poke screwdrivers into their DS systems. FlashMe also lets slot-2 device users boot into DS mode without needing a NoPass, which is a huge convenience.

You spend time for research on how to do it, download flashme, then find a screwdriver and flash...
let us just say that you spend 10 minutes (and you most definitely spend more) to remove 2 seconds of health screen.

So, it's like some risk and fear, then 600 seconds of work, divide it by 2 seconds of health screen = 300. It means that you start to save time after 300 boots of your Nintendo, and you save 10 minutes after 600 boots; really nice... NOT!

    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.

    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there

    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.

    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.

    Atleast it has captions

    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.
