DS Flash Equipment > Are there new DS out there??? Can?t flash.

#81841 - pimpmastah - Tue May 02, 2006 12:33 pm

I bought two new DS (blue), but I can not flash them. There is no way to boot from the GBA-Slot. If I try by PassME2 I got 2 white screens (yes, SRAM is written). If I try by WiFi, I get an errormsg "Comunication error. Download not complete."

Can someone help me?

Would you mind telling what you are trying to run code from? Oh, yeah. WiFiMe never worked on the newer DS's.

If it's white screening it normally means the PassMe device is working.
What are you using in the GBA slot?

Have you already successfully run DesktopMan's Tetris 1.1 from ndshb.com, or is FlashMe the first .nds file you've ever tried to run?

Well, sending something via WiFi (except for official demos) is not going to work until your DS is flashed, so that's normal.

It shouldn't give an error, though. Normally when you send unsigned code to an unflashed DS, it downloads it fine and just hangs at the Nintendo logo.

Have you tried TakeMeOut yet?

You could use Datel Laucher, which work in any version of Nintendo DS

Thanks for your replies.

I used the 512 EFA Card and it looks like the battery is empty or some like that. So I formated the card, wrote the SRAM again and flashed the flashME and tada, it works. Sorry for taking your time. Often the simplest things are the best.

Don't worry, I had a hard time with my first flashcart. (It was a cheap ripoff of an EZFA III) Took me alomost a week to figure it out. Then I flashed my DS, and everythign beame easier.

Ah, I guess you're right...in that case I ask him wether he can send official demos. It could be a bug in the WMB software or something.
