I've been doing some research about this, but i would like to have more info on the subject. Currently i got a DS Lite, a SuperCard and a SuperKey. I've been reading about the FlashMe and i've been wondering if it should be and option. I got some questions about this, and it'll be very appreciated if any of you could answer them.

a) If i use FlashMe, how much difference is regarding battery time?
b) Is there anyway to undo a FlashMe (i.e. reinstall the original firmware).
c) Do i need to have a DS game inserted in order to use the SC if i used FlashMe?

My biggest concern goes to "Save Battery VS Risky Workaround" I'm kinda of happy with my current config, but if the alternative is good enough, i might try it. Thanks for your comments.

P.S. Sorry if this was posted before, but all the topics i've seen are dated on dec '05, so i wanted to check if there's any update to this.

A) From my experinece there was only a 10 minute saving using flashMe
B) Yes, NoFlashMe I think its called but I'll doubt you'll want to UNflash after its been done
C) Not really. You only need a DS game inserted to use the sleep mode, flashme tends to make the DS go a bit crazy flashing the screen if you close the clam shell with out a game in the DS slot.

The main thing that flashme has is it will allow you to play single cart multiplayer games as an unflashed DS is unable to download a game sent from a superCard.

The above is mostly correct, however...

B) NoFlashMe can revert a DSPhat to its original state, however if used on a DSLite, not all functions are perfectly restored, according to this thread:

I see. Then i guess i'll stick with my current config (I mean, i payed for that SuperKey! The least i can do is use it ) Thanks for your advice!
