Restoration requires backup. No backup == no restoration
I have backups of it, and backups of those. But i can't use them since the RCMLoader is no longer seen as a drive to place my backup unto, not recognized in any partition manager either.

Try to update the frimware on the rcmloader. The original website (xkit.xyz) is shut down earlier this year so you need to track down a copy of the firmware yourself. Btw almost all rcmloader you get on aliexpress/amazon/ebay/wish/etc. are clones of the original rcmloader, so the original firmware might not work for your device.

Iirc the file system used on the SPI flash chip is yaffs2, maybe you can manually format the chip yourself with arduino.

Thank you for your anwer, the firmware fails to flash successfully, the LED continues blinking red and green. I don't have an arduino, i have a Raspberry Pi 3b though.

    @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

    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.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
