DS Flash Equipment > How do you purchase/make it?

#73369 - zzo38computer - Sat Feb 25, 2006 4:27 am

I have no idea where to purchase the necessary equipment for loading homebrew software into Nintendo DS! I have looked and cannot find it. Where would you suggest I look? What about making my own equipment? How can I do that? Or, opening up the DS and loading it? What is the best way to do this?

Take your DS back to the store and tell them you are too dumb to use it.

First, what color is your firmware?

Second, read my guide to DS passthroughs.

Ironic isn't it Z?

If the problem is that you have picked out the device that you need but cannot find any specific stores that sell that device and ship to you, then please fill in the Location field of your profile so that we can recommend a store.

Yes, I have found the color of the firmware a long time ago (yellow), and I searched on Google a lot and find out what equipment can be used (PassMe2, GBA re-writable cartridge, etc.), but I have no idea where to actually PURCHASE these things!

A good place for PassMe2 is www.dspassme.com (or if there's someone you know who owns one, you could ask him to borrow it to flash your firmware). I ordered my PassMe from DSPassme (Lynx) and it arrived on time and in perfect condition.
You can also find a schematic to build your own PassMe at www.natrium42.com

A GBA Flash Cart, Supercard or such thing could be found on Google fairly easily.

Here is a Canada store that sells GBA Flash Carts and Supercard:
http://www.kicktrading.ca/product_info.php?products_id=32

EBay is also a good place to look.

I got my M3/CF from Winsunx, and my friends bought theirs from Divineo, which has a US site also. Check out the Retailer Feedback forum for more ideas/opinions.
