DS Flash Equipment > Noob with a question

#62177 - Shinnok - Mon Nov 28, 2005 2:31 am

Hi, im looking to get a DS shortly after X-mas, and had a few questions. Ive been running a modded xbox for some time now for emulation and homebrew purposes, and since the DS mod scene seems a little more complex than installing a modchip and software i was wondering if someoen could supply me with info on what all id need to run emulated roms, homebrew, and what id need to dump cart info to a pc to mess with.

thanks in advance for any help i get.

First of all, you'll need a GBA card, which is either a CF adapter with 32 MB of RAM (M3 or SuperCard) or a NOR flash card (such as F2A, EFA, or XG). Make sure that it can run GBA homebrew before going further.

Then you can install FlashMe, the modified DS firmware, using one of the second generation modding methods. Doing the ppflash method is reportedly as hard as soldering on a modchip, but using the PassMe2 adapter is much easier.

NeoFlash Magic Key is an XG-Flash kit bundled with an original PassMe adapter. The original PassMe is useless with the new Nintendo DS firmware; you must use a PassMe2 adapter.
