Hacking Flashing a DS witha slot 1 card

[7llusion]

I've searched the forums and found no real answer, so here's my question:
I have a Ninjapass X9 and an Acekard(don't ask me to buy and r4 or an m3simply!), and to be able to download play with some non-working roms, and would like to flash one of my DS's (phat or lite).
My question is, can I, with a slot-1 device flash a DS.

should be possible, flashme loads into RAM if I'm not mistaken.

Yes you can. I just did with my DS PHAT. I wanted to see for myself. I was using M3 Simply to flash the DS.

So after your DS is flashed & all you have is a slot one card. Is your DS booting straight
in to the card? Or do you need to hold a button such as start or select on a flashed unit?

Of course not. When you play original carts on a flashed DS, it boots straight to them, if there's no slot 2 cart inserted.

Negative, when you have an original card in your flashed DS and no homebrew slot-2 device you'll nicely get the DS's main menu (unless you choose the setting to automatically boot DS games)(possibly via the health and safety screen depending on your version of flashme).

Sure with the automatically game loading option. That's what I meant. I had a flashed DS.

I have successfully flashed my DS phat with my X9, it now receives games in download play.
Thanx for all your advice.

have a question, i have the m3 simply and i'm trying to flash my ds lite. the problem i'm having is its not loading the flashme.nds file. does anybody else have this problem?

EDIT: nevermind i fixed it. had to take out all my games and then reformat the microsd.

Just be careful when doing this. The fail safe of flashme only works via slot2

 

[Kaphis]

really can u explain this fail save only slot2 thing?

 

[7llusion]

It means that you can't recover a half bricked ds(that turned off after 5%) if you don't own a slot-2. If you fail to install flashme you will need to have a slot2 card to do the operation again. Also changing from flashme_stealth to flashme(and vice versa) doesn't require you to connect the sl1 hole.

hmm interesting ! I didn't know that, I would need to be careful then

They do on the DS Lite. The original DS didn't require this though.

Just flashed friends poor DS with my R4, pen and a chocolate foil during school break, we can now finally race each other at Mario Karts during classes

 

[TLSpartan]

talk about safe

 

[yourdaddy50]

finally an answer ive been wondering about this for a while because i want to flash my cousin's ds lite with my m3 simply but wasn't sure if it would work

 

[kersplatty]

hmm i dont see the point tbh as long as you get your stuff from a trusted site you should be ok, as far as slot1s are concerned

 

[myclock]

ok i dont know anything about flashing, i got an R4. i got 2 one on the first day it came out and a DSL which i bought 2 weeks ago.

why would i need to flash a DS? and wats the benefits?

 

[bfoos]

You don't need to flash your DSL. I have mine flashed just to get rid of the health and safety screen and for download play.
