Just finished flashing all 3 under warranty DS Lites in the house with the v8...
Did it cause we have an R4-III floating around and I read about the possibility of real R4 firmware harming it later, possibly...
I figure if there is "possibly" some risk, and FlashMe gives me an insurance policy... why not
Was as simple as most made it out to be, didnt even need the toothpick, used a bit of foil rolled up to about the size of the hole, then used scissors to cut the end so it was flat... worked flawlessly. Just followed the normal precautions of flashing any handheld... full batteries and plugged in.
On the last one i was feeling so confident, i accidentally let the foil break contact... put the foil back against it and it just continued.
Apparently, didnt happen to me, but if the power goes off or it gets shorted after the 1st few %... the recovery blocks are already written and you can recover a bad flash.
Heard a lot of people say that the newer lites dont need FlashMe as the newest firmware has such protection built in, but whose to say how long my DSs were on the shelf before being shipped/sold...
Edit: oh and not seeing that godawfull STUPID health warning and tap screen to continue ROCKS!
Edit2: Just bought another DS from a local game shop, brought it home, plugged it in, popped in my Acekard RPG which now has a "Utilities" folder with flashme noauto v8, and proceeded to flash it... had a friend over, showed him how i could remove the foil (was at 73%), and then put it back and it would continue... 4 for 4 now... no issues AT all
