DS Misc > AR for flashme?

#148852 - beamer30 - Fri Jan 11, 2008 8:23 am

O i order a r4 a few weeks ago but it hasnt showed up yet, although my supercard lite slot 2 came in and i have a action replay, so i was wondering if there was anyway to flash your ds lite using this(couldnt find anything on when searching it) i figured if there was a way to use it like a passme then i can use my slot-2 device to run flashme... Is this possiable?

"Action Replay DS also has a nopass function built in (provided you have firmware revision 1.02 or later). To use this nopass function, you hold select on powerup."

It should be able to boot the supercard in DS mode and then you can run flashme.nds or whatever you want.

One thing to watch out for: There are two different "Action Replay" devices that do something with DS games. The SLOT-2 "Action Replay MAX Duo" is good for backing up DS saves without needing an extra SLOT-2 card, but not for booting SLOT-2 cards in DS mode. The SLOT-1 "Action Replay DS" is a NoPass if you hold Select, as Sektor pointed out.

You first need to flash the GBAMP to make it 'DS aware', then when you want to run DS code from it, it must be named _boot_mp.nds

And this can be done from GBA mode, so there's no chicken-and-egg the way there is with some downgraders on the PSP.
