DS Flash Equipment > FW NITRO 1.6c help needed

#152906 - prettierwendead - Sat Mar 22, 2008 1:00 pm

i wanna install this firmware on to my ds lite but i am worried would i be able to install one of the precompiled versions straight aWAY with no problems i cant be bothered compiling it myself lol

also to install it do you install it the same way you would with flash me (short sl1)

i have tried to use fw nitro b4 but after i installed it that ds will now no longer boot from slot one at all i think its because i missed the libnds because i didnt read the readme

will the compiled versions that come with 1.6c have lib nds already in there
any help would be great thanx

FWNitro does NOT support Slot-1 Carts just because. I have no idea why but it is just not compatible. Trust me, you are not missing out on anything.

He's missing out on running his legal slot-1 game carts and being able to use the ndsmotion.
