DS Flash Equipment > What DS serial numbers have v5 firmware?

#106452 - Ezzelin - Thu Oct 19, 2006 7:58 am

Hello, I'm trying to find out if anyone knows a range of serial numbers for the original DS that have the v5 firmware installed. I'd like to buy one that I can flash to enable the backlight levels. Thanks!

I don't think there is a special range of serial numbers that has a specific firmware, if I remember correctly it was tested a lot some time ago. You could ask to test play the DS and use the pictochat test as described here.

Sadly, I can't test the DS before buying, because it is new in box. Once I open the box, it's mine. I know that a lot of research was done with regards to the issue, but I believe that was before v5 of the firmware came out.
