HA! As if I'd risk poor little Moppet for something as silly as Flashed firmware--as far as I understand Flashing will do the same thing for you that a Flash card. You can get a flash card for 30 bucks on average as opposed to playing daredevil with a 120$ peice of technology that sooo many people dont even want to take the time to understand properly.
Though, I do wonder that I haven't missed something. I've never seriously looked into it. So can someone tell me what exactly can Flashing do for your DS--besides remove the warning screen and save you all the agony of tapping a screen?

QUOTE* The button combination A+B+X+Y, gamecode "PASS" or title "DSBooter" on the GBA cartridge automatically starts program from GBA cartridge (starting from offset 0xC0), as with PassMe.
* Fallback to standard firmware: The Select button skips gamecode detection. This means you can hold Select to boot the DS card, Select+B to boot the GBA card, or Select+Start to enter the firmware menu. Useful if you have a card with GBA/DS dual compatible firmware, such as a GBA Movie Player v2 with Chishm's firmware.
* Failsafe feature: The button combination A+B+Select+Start starts program from GBA cartridge even if most of the firmware is erased, but it doesn't initialize as much of the hardware. [1]
* Backlight fades in at startup.
* Effectively removes the health screen, making it less annoying to boot. If you want to maintain the health screen, such as for warranty purposes, the official FlashMe page has a so-called "stealth" version that does not remove the health screen.
* Remove RSA signature check for Wireless MultiBooting (WMB) homebrew NDS files.
* As of October 23, 2005, FlashMe now recognizes the new v4 firmware that originally appeared in the red DS, downgrading it to v3 firmware.
* As of January 1, 2006, FlashMe's installer now displays the version of your original firmware, version of FlashMe you currently have installed, and the version you are trying to install.
