Excuse any typos, I'm pretty drunk right now.......I'm not generally a drinker, but occasionally....
My first DS was a launch DSphat. Bought it about a month after they were released. According to the "test", I had version 5 firmware...Magenta.
Almost exactly a year ago, I bought a Black DSlite and sold off my phat, which is still being happily used to this day by my niece.
Naturally, the lite showed the Purple....
I never flashed my DS's and I didn't get into flashcarts until I got the lite....SCminiSD first, R4DS second.......not sure what this means for anything, but there ya go.
