Supposedly is project to seek a way to access EZFlash VI in a 1.4.5 console.

Either way

Tester Requirements
-The official Sudoku Gridmaster DS Cartridge X
-DSi on 1.4.1 [or lower] V
-Sudokuhax v1.1 exploit installed on DSi [contact me if you have v1.0] X
-DSiWareHax X
-EZFlash Vi X
--HW 705/805
--Kernel 3.0 b8
--Firmware v108 or v108a
-SD card [sudokuhax] V

I don't exactly koalify [pun intended] for tester.

That and

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU TEST FOR ME, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANY OF YOUR EQUIPMENT BREAKS.

Even if was a deal, I just spent €40, and considering there are already plenty of cards out there compatible with 1.4.5, I don't think that's a risk worth taking.

Nice, just slap a flashcard in that baby and you're good to go.

I recently bought a DSi XL and it's probably the best purchase I have made in quite a while. This bigger screen makes such a huge difference. It's actually quite hard to go back to playing games on my O3DS after being exposed to the DSi XL screen.

It's also the perfect resolution for many 8-bit consoles. NES and Master System emulators work 1:1 without any scaling required so they're pixel sharp. I think for emulation purposes, my DSi XL is my most used device right now. Playing GameYob on both devices, there's no comparison (not because of the emulator itself but because of the screen).

Mine came with 1.4.4 and I've resisted updating to 1.4.5 even though I don't know if it changes anything at all. It works with my DSTwo which is all I need.

Alleged preformance update, but I doubt anything meaningful. Mostly blocks flashcards.

Since online services are gone, unless you want to buy anything from the eStore, there is no need. If you decide to, check first if your flashcard is compatible with 1.4.5 or if it requires kernel update first.

1.4.1




I googled and found this but seems to be 2 years old, is this project still on?

Yes. Though I completely forgot to ask if SudokuHax is installed. If not, then forget I asked you anything :|
It is hard to find SudokuHax DSis

The scaler in the 3DS is horrible, you either see things small (original size) or with a horrible scaler that is both blurry and makes some pixels distort and seem double pixel (oh, my eyes hurt when reading text).
I use 3DS XL for DS games, but it doesn't look exactly good. I would understand the charm of a DSi XL where no pixel distortion is visible, you just see all even identically shaped sharp pixels, which is great.

You can disable scaling by pressing START or SELECT while loading a DS game.

That is what I meant by you either see things small (original size) or with a horrible scaler.
