Well, someone asked in #dsdev about a program to see the DS's MAC address, I had some code lying around to show data on the DS so I've made a quick firmware viewer for the DS.


1.Which address can the MAC be found at?

2.Is there any way to identify the firmware version by using this?
( a certain value that is in one but not the other)

More specifically, the version can be reasonably inferred from the halfword at offset 6, and the MAC address is at offset 0x36.

Last 2 set of numbers on line 000030 and the 4 first set on numbers on 000038 thats the MAC.

Like this (xx = the MAC)

000030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 xx xx
000038: xx xx xx xx 00 00 00 00

Now, does it harm the DS when downgrading with the new NOFLASHME.NDS???

Bonus Question :)

I cant remember if there was an app that allowed you to backup the nds cart sram to the gba cart, kinda like the AR DUO.
