To be as polite as possible, this is a fucking garbage video.
- Does not mention where this firmware came from (X4 DS phat)
- Does not credit the person who dumped is (MasChief)
- Barely mentions it was custom flashed leaving viewers with the impression he owns a real prototype
- Adding to above, calls this a never seen before prototype. This has been dumped for two fucking years
- Does not mention that there are guides to install this as well
- Does not go into detail of the firmware (literally just google info please) and does nothing but sound like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about with forced enthusiasm
- For the iQue firmware he does not set the chinese language (the most important part)
- Barely mentions about why iQue exists
- Says stupid shit like "nintendo lawyers are gonna sue me"
They won't fucking sue him. Please see my comment (and brace yourself for braindead retro future audience)

You as a creator have a responsibility to get the facts right, to share the complete story. When someone new stumbles across your content, what you produce becomes their first impression. What you create becomes fact (even if untrue) and people will never look further. They will now question legitimate content because the big, smart youtuber must be right! They will spread BS about how the DS lite has prototype firmware or how the iQue firmware is the exact same. They will tell people that these boards are so rare and legitimate, creating a stupid wave of profits.
Anyways first impressions are a huge problem. I spend all my time documenting this shit. People have asked me questions with the most mislead ideas ever, all because of these content farms and frustrating wikis with no content (looking at you, hidden palace...). It is so annoying and upsetting.
And your "lawyers" and "nintendo ninjas" crap does nothing but encourage the endless circle jerk on platforms like here where people keep spamming about how such and such thing is going to be shut down. Stop encouraging it. Stop making this crap worse.
I'm also somewhat annoyed to see that
once again random ebay sellers are using my guides for profit. Hell, I'm less annoyed about that as I am over the fact that there is NO CREDIT.

Prototype stuff, yeah sure that's just flashing a new firmware. I can be annoyed in silence. But iQue is fucking awful. Same seller, same lack of credit. I'm the person that introduced creating custom iQue boards to the world. You would not have been able to create these had I not given you that nice guide. In the very least say "thanks rvtr".

Elliot just worsens my frustration with a shitty video and continual lack of care or research leading to guides people can follow for free (minus parts) being buried further and further down. Think of how cool it would be if he created this himself! Or walked you through a guide! He's got soldering experience, he should know how to do this. He's also got the equipment and money handy. He could have gone into the information about the X4 DS phat. He could have mentioned the other prototype firmware. He could have made something interesting, and something of value. Instead we got more fucking slop. Yippee.
Also hey, if you want to buy prototype or iQue wifi boards, contact me or go to my ebay. Money I made goes into actual prototype preservation and documentation, unlike the other people trying to make a quick buck off my guides!
