mixplate - stop panicking!

I am also in the same boat as you - my DS is dead at the moment due to Mario Kart, but with the help of these guys on here I'm confident it WILL work.

Tonight I will try it out and report back.

Are you in the UK?

Quote from: "Dudu.exe"Ps: only work if yoy have flashed you DS before it bricked.. if not you´re screwd !

I flashed mine about a month ago so that I only required the SC and an original game in the top slot - am I screwed or not??

Just wanted to know before I tried this tonight....

All sorted

Just had the flashme.nds file on the SD card and booted using the method from dudu.exe above. Reflashed and all OK.

Hope you get it sorted mixplate.

Mixplate: make exactly what i say!!

First delete or copy all files from ur Supercard. Then download the Flashme.nds file and put it on the SD. Put the SC and the SD in the DS.
Press A+B+start+select at the same time, hold it down and start ur DS.
After a few seconds release the Buttons and push a .(the screens are black and if everything went correctly the screen shows u the flashme screen when u press a)
then follow the flashme instructins.
And if this not helps then use the other SD

crazyal · November 24, 2005, 05:23:01 AM

Yeah, I didn't need to append or join any files - just used the flashme.nds on its own.

Btw, online play is superb - some people have played over 400 matches already!! :shock:

I just Bricked My brother's NDS!!!! :cry: Well it started when I tried to upgrade his flashme from V4 to V5 after I have Upgrade his SC to new firmware 1.53. And the flashme went straight to 100% success without shorting the SL1. So I thought it went ok and I tried playing Mario Kart. It starts ok and when I restart the NDS. THE SCREEN SUDDENLY WENT BLANK!!! :shock: Only then I knew that this is because of Mario Kart and flashme V4!!

So I tried using Dudu.exe and PoTaToE advises( THANKS TO YOU BOTH I RECOVERED MY BROTHER NDS!!) :lol:

I have to downgrade his SC to 1.52 to upgrade flashme V5 ( ANYONE out there had the same problem with flashing flashme with the new firmware??) Then I can successfully flash to V5. The Best way to recover it, WAS PUT ONLY flashme.nds file in the SD card.

I'm glad I can recover it. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR GIVING GREAT ADVISES!!! :lol:
