I have absolutely no idea what happened. I used this instructable to get everything set up.

http://www.instructables.com/id/SNV9T0CFN4H8OGD/

After I finished I loaded my Animal crossing city folk game on a DVD -r and it worked fine of course.
Well I only have DVD +rw discs left to use so I tried to load a game on that with a DVD-rom booktype.

As soon as I got into gamma it showed nothing but the logo and no options whatsoever. I also couldnt leave the loader without turning off my wii.
Now I cant get the gamma loader to work at all no matter how many times I uninstall and re install it. I didn't change anything at all between using the two games. What in the world happened here?

Well. Im not positive as to what happened, but DVD-RW's even when changing the booktype can screw things up, thats why their not recommended.

I had no idea something like this would happen though. I assumed the worst would be that it just wouldn't play. I'm retracing my steps to see if there is some way to fix this.

Wow, so of all things that fixed this problem, inserting a gamecube action replay, then removing it, made the menu appear...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    He put it down when the 3ds came out

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
