- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+51Like it or not, this shouldn't be illegal to hack the hardware you fully paid for, playing roms you don't own is a diffent matter entirely
- JoeCool1986, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44Yeah, I don't get why it's illegal to hack hardware at all.
Void my warranty, I understand. Just don't freakin fine me for it! - JaySantos, on 10/12/2007, -4/+45"Backups"... Yeah right :)
- helfire, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34That was one of the first things he said, make sure it's pluged in.
- sych0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31passme is so much easier
edit: this guy totally sounds like that guy who did the voice of the cat on sabrina the teenage witch - Skeksis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29lol, i love the meowing of cats in the background.
- Anoobis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Its a well made video you got to give him that much - not a teenager umming and erring in a darkened room.
- T3rry, on 10/12/2007, -18/+40The dummy didn't even do the most important thing, Plug the Power Cord In Before You Start So the Battery Doesn't Die and Brick your DSL.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. God what a clever, smart boy you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. God you're so funny!
- younglink11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Many flashcarts go for around $60 these days, and no, you don't get banned when you play online with a flashed DS.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19you were checking? why?
are you interested? ARE YOU LONELY !? - jonnyeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Especially since there's a good homebrew scene out there to justify doing this.
- RJNavarrete, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Wow, I didn't know Stewie Griffin browsed Digg!
SWEET! - Wolfbeta, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22Forget the DS. This dude has an ancient piece of hardware in the back!
I haven't seen one of those monitor-holding-powerbars since my first PC back in 1994.
That alone makes this diggworthy. - sneakerelph, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17he took it off?
- illt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16i jsut want it to play my old SCUMM and SNES games.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15"i've done this so many times I've got a feel for going straight in" rofl
- Abatrour, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14They have nopass now, you dont need to flash the firmware, own any games or void the warranty.
Just pop in the ds cart and your done.
http://www.pineight.com/ds/pass/ - FreddieD, on 10/12/2007, -7/+20Call me odd, but to me he sounded an awfully lot like Patrick Norton...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18Why bother?
DS games aren't expensive ($20-35), flashcarts are expensive ($154 for 512mb NEOFLASH), and you will probably get banned if you try to play on wi-fi. - spy1325, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10i jsut bought a "Datel Max media launcher" does everything needed adn doesnt stick out the top like Passme2 its the size of a regular DS game. and i dont want to fool around with any function my DS may have with communicating with a Wii. so im gona stick wiht the orrignal firmware
- seven5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8i think its worth it just so you dont have to keep track of all your games.. its a pain.. i just want all my media on my device like EVERYTHING else in my life.
- hubble, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8flashcarts are much cheaper now that they introduced the SD/CF versions
- T3rry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"That was one of the first things he said, make sure it's pluged in."
but he never actually did plug it in. - LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10And if you want the game that some consider to be the only good one on the PSP, check out the GBA port of Lumines called "Gleam"
NOT SPAM: http://akumaatr.nintendev.com/gleam.html - pbjorge12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Just thought I would post that I've played games on WiFi before wit roms and I haven't been banned...Don't worry I bought metroid prime and mario kart afterwards...
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Or you could just buy an M3 adapter that you can use CF, SD, or MiniSD cards on for $60.
- Disease, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8It's orgasmic
- ScottDaMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Exactly, effective June 6th, its a lot easier now:

Buy it:
http://us.codejunkies.com/news_reviews.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&p=17&i=9010&s=8 - aximbigfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3eh, i just dont get why you cant do it through download play. of course you would have to short that jumper but still...
- hubble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3the SuperCard company has just developed a super cheap device that does not require you to flash. It is similar to the Datel MML, but far cheaper. It is called the SuperKey and is a DS Cart that just plugs in. http://eng.supercard.cn . It will allow you to not have to flash, but use your GBA Flashcarts/SuperCards on a DS or DSLite. I think I saw it being sold, but it could still be just pre-order. But from the looks of it it's a great piece of hardware.
- ross., on 10/12/2007, -1/+4He doesn't sound anything like Patrick Norton, however he's style of talking, pronunciation, pauses etc are a lot like Patricks.
- Lemon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Media Launcher + M3 + SD card.
Why flash your firmware? - nanoage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's because he is a smart man.
- extant59, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hmm.. it sounded like he was talking about sex.. talking to my girlfriend while this was on.. it was weird. i dont know though.. i was thinking about doing my ds... now.. i dont know. keep us posted on how everyone elses goes. :)
- dexim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That does not answer why it's illegal to hack the hardware you own. You only answer that it is, and what law makes it illegal. I think that at least 95% of the people on digg will agree with me when I say that the DMCA is one of the dumbest laws ever written.
- hubble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you load the original firmware, where it lets you manually pick DS slot/GBA slot/Pictochat, you should be able to do it there, then just reset and the DSLite *should* keep the settings.
- trunkster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heh maybe someone will make a video to test that?
- blanski, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I was thinking the same thing and scouring the comments just to find someone mentioning it. Digg+
- hubble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If anything, the flashcart is what kills your battery, and that cart is needed for anything you do with the DS other than play retail games. You still need to have a DS game in Slot-1 in order for sleep mode to work, so what this new SuperKey does is give you that DS cart in Slot-1 as well as giving you the passme2 ability in a smaller, cheaper and compact unit. I really doubt the SuperKey is the reason for the battery drain, as opposed to the flashcart itself. Also keeping the DSLite on the brightest setting is a battery killer too. Personally I like the 3rd setting for most evironments, but the 2nd is nicer for darker rooms and helps with the battery as well :)
- djfelix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't know what I did wrong, but when I flashed my DS Lite, with V7, I lost the ability to change the brightness level. Any thoughts?
- Senescence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So what exactly is the end all be all of backups and homebrew on a DS? What do I need to get it working and all in the most efficient, asthetic way possible (with no carts sticking out)?
- hubble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can rid yourself of the opening health screen (if that nags you), there are also many homebrew applications like DSLinux which is the only real way to surf the web atm, many other people use it for game *backups* so they can carry all their DS games on 1 GBA Flashcart and play them all, instead of having to carry 15 DS games with them.
- dexim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, if you would actually *read* the comments you'd notice that several people have commented on it before you. At least 2 comments were 5 hours before yours.
- xSmBx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You need flashme_lite.nds, I had the same results the first time then found this via google. MD5 1267A4DD7C82CF4EF8096D51909B8DDD worked great for me and brightness adjustment works again.
- T3rry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it also cut's your battery life down drastically, where as flashing does not.
- Venom1000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very interesting video, very informative. But pardon the very noobish question -why would someone do this? I am very interested in learning the benefits to doing this.
- LEDDY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i have flashed my ds, its great!!!! make sure u have power in!!!!!!!!
- AuLKenny, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4That voice.... it's so intoxicating.... or something.
- hubble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can't do it through Download Play on the DSLite as it uses the newer firmware. The original DS's (versions 1-3) allow this method, which is very pleasant since you can run lots of your own developed code through it as well.
