Quote from: "m2pt5"Flashing a v4-5 DS with the Superpass2 was far easier than any of you people make it out to be. Here's what I did:

1. Put AMCE-0.gba, AMCE-0.sav, latest firmware and flashme.nds on my SD card. (That's the SRAM writer for Mario Kart.) Run the firmware upgrade.
2. Flip the switch on the SuperPass2, put it in the writer unit, plug that into the paralell port and plug in the USB cable. Flash it for MKDS.
3. Put the Supercard with SD in the DS, boot in GBA mode. Run AMCE-0.gba.
4. Put MKDS in the Superpass2, and put the SP2 halfway in the DS slot.
5. Quickly: power off, shove the SP2 in the slot, and power back on.
6. Run flashme, short SL1, and never have to screw around with doing this again.

Just remember to pull the SP2 out a bit, then push it in to click it out without breaking the latch.

Hi I'm a newbe and I have a couple questions? I just bought the superpass2 and supercard sd and I want to run flashme on my DS. I do have the older ds and it has the v1 firmware. I know that I have to change the settings on the superpass2 to superpass1. I will also be using the metroid prime demo as the nds cart for the superpass. My question is regarding the AMCE-0.gba and AMCE-0.sav files. What are theses files for, do I need to use them, and where can I get them? Thanks.

Those files are simply for DS's that need a passme2 in order to play.

Since you have v1 firmware for the DS, and you're going to make the superpass2 act as a superpass1, those files aren't needed.

I dont really get all of this.. I have V5 flashme installed on my nds silver (bought at release) and if i upgrade to flashme v7, do i need to do the SL1 procedure? or need any passme stuff?

m2pt5

Most of the upgrades between v5 and v7 only pertain to Neoflash compatibility. If you have at least v5, don't worry about it, you're good.
Manually signing your posts is dumb.

Firmware versioning: Get a Passcard 3, a SuperKey, or a slot-1 flashkit. Then it doesn't matter which firmware you have.

im still confused....
i've been booting my ds with supercard SD and superpass 2 and its working.
naturally I'd like to not have to use the big ugly superpass 2 (no offence creaters but its ugly!)
is the above instructions the only way to do this? sounds amazingly pants wetting....
irst i was small then i was big, then i stank then i was dead.

No.

I've had my DS since like march and never got around to flashing it..

where do I find the files to do this?

polyskilz

when you guys speak of firmware versions, are you referring to flashme.nds?  These files all have the same name so i was under the assumption that there is only one?
Here is my situation...i have performed the flash last year and played lots of games...however, the latest games dont work (white screen when loading)...is this due to my flashme.nds file being too old?  Or is it the software version that converts the ds files to ?

confused...
any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

It's not flashme.  You need to upgrade your Supercard firmware and use the latest patcher software. Verify you are using clean dump ROMs with Nintenren.  Use "Magic Homebrew Patcher" for homebrew games and apps.
