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.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
