Hacking Is Possible to flash?

[DarkDante]

Maybe for a clone card but it would have to be a good clone not a shitty one.

Yes but is possible. Very nice right? If a card is really alike it can be converted. Thanks to normatt! This is getting very good.

This is what I was talking about. The sky 3DS was an example.

Is not possible? I don't think so. Maybe some cards have very different hardware but maybe others are probably almost the same. So you called me stupid.

That only works because the R4i Ultra was literally Acekard 2i hardware. You're basically asking if you can flash 3DS firmware on a DSi and have it work.

Nope I was talking about all cards, I put sky 3DS as an example. The point was to flash the flashcards and convert it in other model. Install the firmware or kernel of other flash card.

Still, it won't work if it's not an ak2i or an R4i Ultra (or a clone). It doesn't matter what card you're talking about.

It was originally a question, not saying it will work with all cards, damn guys! I was asking about the possibilities putting an example. I'm not confirming anything.

And some people told me stupid of even thinking this, and actually is possible, does not matter what cards can be compatible.

The point is: is possible.

are you not finished yet? Talk about bumps.
Let's end it here, if the few can't interact with the hardware it won't work.
If it has very similar hardware with a couple of fw mods it could work
Also I highly doubt this is even possible, ds flash carts are designed for ds games not 3ds games, and vice versa
Ds flash carts make you boot in to a menu that let's you run unsigned code, instead the sky3ds pretends to be a legit cart hence the reason homebrew won't work
Hope this question has been answered

Put him on ignore, he's not worth listening to.

This thread was so fun to read while i was high.

Instructions unclear, flashed new firmware on a Prius and it turned into a Ferrari F12.

To answer the question, no, you can't convert one flash cartridge into another by just flashing the firmware, whether it's a DS-Mode cart to a DS-Mode cart or a DS-Mode cart to a 3DS-Mode cart. The internal workings are different and overwriting the firmware will only cause the cartridge to be non-operational.

The only reason why the listed example works is because one cartridge brand is a hardware clone of the other. However, this does not mean that all cartridges are internally the same.

Lol bumps, ok then. Is possible in a little way.

To answer the previously mentioned PC OS analogy, the reason why many different PC brands can all run Windows is because they are all designed to. Windows is designed to be a universal OS with common libraries for PC manufacturers to work with. Flash cartridges on the other hand do not have a universal standard of operation. Even though they may look very similar from the outside, their internal workings are actually very different and so each brand is only designed to work with their own unique firmware.
