Flashing your DS!

So, you finally decided to buy a flash device for your DS! If you have choosen a Slot2 device, its a nice choice! Because most of them also support GBA games, and the M3 Perfect als supports linking NDS with GBA roms! Enhough sweet talk, lets go straight to the point. You have to choose now, wether to use a pass device or rewrite the firmware of you DS. I really recommend the 2nd! Its very easy and youll gain many advantages. I'm not going to talk about how to flash it, but WHY you should flash it. Dont be afraid of it in the 1st place. The chance that you brick your DS is so small when you are carefull and follow the instructions! After flashing, you will gain a very important feature in Homebrew land, and thats a Recover function, if your DS is bricked by malware! I also like how flashing your DS saves alot of battery compared to a passkey!

Pass-Device:

Pros
+ No modifying required

Cons
- Eats a hell lot of battery
- Cannot recover after brick
- If you lose it you cant use your flashcart

Flashing:

Pros
+ Saves your battery
+ Recover after a brick
+ Play unsigned code form Download play directly

Cons
- A very small chance you brick your DS while flashing
