-) The health and safety warning screen is left unchanged.

Is that all it does, leave the health and warning screen?
Why would you want that? :)

Apparently, if your firmware still has a health warning screen, it makes it that much easier to resell a DS or get warranty service.

Noflashme puts it back to normal, but it will also brick your DS if it's interrupted.

But what's with the backlight fading in?

It's a reminder to Nintendo that they should have done that, and that members of the homebrew community are better at firmwares than they are.

Perhaps the message will go up along the ranks.



Actually, honestly, I wouldn't know... which brings up the question, then, of why I posted at all...

Does the stealth flashme still have the sound or no... 'cause I wish we had the sound and no health screen, but that's just me.

With stealth flashme your DS boots up like normal, unless you have ds homebrewn. Your ds appears stock normally.

Warning screen and sound are intact.

I just ran the flashme stealth updater from http://ds.gcdev.com/dsfirmware/. The DS is working without the passme but I don't see anything different about the backlight. Is the fade-in an option I can turn on?

#58768 - kekit - Tue Oct 25, 2005 10:12 pm

flashme stealth is supposed to look like a stock DS. if you want the fade in effect, use the non-stealth flashme

#58788 - csalmon - Wed Oct 26, 2005 1:09 am

Thanks.

It'd be nice if there was yet another version that took out the health screen, but left the DS boot up sound and logo intact, or if the health screen stayed, but instead of waiting for a key press, it'd just advance by itself. The former would be preferable.

Anyway beggers can't be choosers. I'm still grateful for FlashMe, so unless anyone feels generous, just ignore me. :)

#58862 - Ilomoga - Wed Oct 26, 2005 9:43 pm

It would be cool if the Nintendo DS logo and the sound are left and instead of the health screen the menu appears and after 1-2 seconds the logo disappears and the clock and calendar appears.

Would be cool but not really necessary ^^

I haven't tried FlashMe, but PassMe v1 seems to do exactly this on my DS.

I just got around to flashing my DS last night, and it worked quite well. I chose the stealth version. I approached it with a little trepidation because I didn't want some klutzy mistake of mine with the power button or battery creating a DS-shaped paperweight.

But everything went very smoothly. I used a 4X flashcard, so once I launched the flashme and made the connection with my paper-clip pieces, it happened much quicker than the instructions had indicated.

My response was, "What, that's it? I'm done?"


Anyway, it's cool to NOT have that passkey + game sticking out of the back of my DS.

I enjoyed it very much when I didn't have to boot Windows just for starting for example ScummVM. And WMB rocks, too :)
