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

Though not all roms work, and some still have glitches.. the games that work, do work very nice and have a good and stable framerate. There are 3 SNES emulators in the field now.

Ok, now lets see if theres something remarkable. Well, one of the wierdest releases is the NoFlashmeLite! If you have a flashed Nintendo DS Lite, its now possible to go back to its original state without the bugs there were before this was released! (One of them was that you couldnt change the brightness) You might think, "why going back to no flashme LOLS????". Well, if you want to ever send your DS back to nintendo for warranty, you'd better do that lols, because I dont think Nintendo repairs DS' with Flashme.

If you wonder what is in the DS Download Station, its nothing special... Dont waste your time unless you really really really want to play the demo versions instead of just getting the full version lols...
