Hacking MiniSD Bricks?

[Hollysmoke]

I just ordered one when my friend told me about it, but I don't wanna brick my DS. That said, how does this happen and how can I avoid it? =/

Don't worry about it, just go for it. Just look at the guides on gbatemp and have a go yourself.
As long as you use your common sense its fine

I dont think the miniSD bricks your DS. I believe you can only brick your DS when trying to flash it.

dont believe this story please, i sold over 100 supercard minisd and only 1 of them had an error. and that was sdram error and i got a replacement from the supercard factory. the bricking story is not true

The only way you can brick is if the supercard or mini-sd has damaged or bent pins. Then you can short out your DS and blow a fuse.

But lenselijer is right, I don't think those bricking rumours were true.

Or you maybe thinking about the supercard itself bricking? This only happens if you have a fake card and try to update the firmware on it.

Oh okay, that makes me feel better

I should be receiving it soon. How would said pins get damaged? Like, what do people do for that to happen so I can avoid it?

 

[lenselijer]

putting the minisd card with the wrong side up? but i dont think you can damage the pins that way.
