Hacking Flashing a Non-flashed DS Lite with Supercard

[Jannibal]

Now, my young, strapping men (and women, perhaps) I, Jannibal, would appreciate some help with a small questionmark that I want to sort out.
Well, here goes;
The thing is that I have a newly bought DS Lite which hasn't been flashed yet. So I figure that if I want to flash it I'd need a passme-device. So I buy myself a Superkey to accompany my new Supercard Mini. I place the newest Firmware of Flashme on the Supercard (Version 7, that is) and boot the DS up with my Superkey in it. And it works like a charm, I have a nice Supercard menu with the contents of my Mini-SD card showing up there. I locate the Flashme.nds and try to execute it. Then my screens just turn white when I do. What is this supposed to mean? Am I doing anything wrong? Am I just another fool that should have RTFM? If so, tell me what I'm doing wrong and call me an idiot...

Thanks in advance!

Don't convert the Flashme.nds with ur Supercard software, just copy it straight across.

That's the way I've been doing it. So that's not helping, sadly.
So, I'm not yet considered an idiot, regretfully.

I already have that one too. I'm a former user of Supercard (old version) and the DS PHat (but it got stolen, argh!), but I can't get that Flashme to work on this equipment.

u gonna have to append a loader to the flashme.nds before it will run on the SC. Or fire up Moonshell and then start Flashme.nds thru it.

You can start things through Moonshell now? Awesome!
I'll try it right away!

Edit:
Still got the white screens through Moonshell. I don't know if I got the newest one though. And that loader, is it the one that is over at http://ds.gcdev.com/dsfirmware/ ? Should I append it using the copy /b command in Cmd?
I mean, I've flashed like 4 DS PHat's in my days, what the dog-noggin' has happened to my knowledge here?

Yeah, but it wont start .dsq files that have been patched with the SC software. Mostly homebrew and stuff.

Have u tried a different copy of FlashMe?

try FlashMe and FlashMe Stealth to see if u get a white screen with both.

That doesnt really matter. All the Flashme Stealth does is preserve that health and safety warning when u turn on ur DS. Thats what I use

Flashme Stealth-version starts up, but my Firmware isn't recognised, wierdly. I can start the firmware flash with a press of the Start-button. Should I?

Thanks! Now it works! Flashed and done! But I'd like to explain something wierd here. I couldn't flash it with the non-stealth one (which doesn't matter much really, since I just want to be able to use my DS with all software without the Superkey in it). The thing is that I couldn't start the standard Flashme.nds through the SC-menu, or through Moonshell or even if it was appended to the loader that was on Flashme's page there. But as soon as I tried the Stealth-version it started directly from the SC-menu, without appending or Moonshelling.

Anyone that knows the cause of this? Did my DS have a new firmware that the Flashme-team haven't seen yet? Any suggestions? Very odd indeed...
