Why can't I get my new DS to flash???

Greetings all:

I posted earlier here, but wasn't able to get any further:

I have a new DS, a Passme2 (built for Madden 06), Madden 06 game, and a SC SD version which I put firmware 1.54 on using an older DS I flashed with Wifime a few months ago.

I just cannot understand why I am having such problems. I have tried a bunch of different SRAM files, including passme2buttonwait, etc. I pick the SRAM file compatible with my US Madden 06 (AM6E) and it says SRAM written. As the instructions state, I insert the Passme2 with Madden 06 connected. I then power the unit off, and back on very quickly.

I get the health & safety warning, but then it just goes to 2 white screens. It will not launch in DS mode for me to run flashme.

I did just buy this DS, is it possible there is some brand-new firmware out that is causing problems???

I have read everything I could find. I just can't get past this. If someone could help, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

R

This is the bypass code IF you already have flashme installed. If you are using a passme2, you should instantly enter DS mode upon the off/on.

As I stated earlier, perhaps your passme2 is defective or programmed for a wrong game. I have a passme2 from Natrium42, and it has worked for me flawlessly on every DS I have tested it on (about 10 or so), so I really can't say what the problem is. I highly doubt there is a new third firmware out there, but anything is possible.

If you still have problems, I can flash your DS for you. You would of course have to pay shipping both ways and a small fee for my time, but I am sure I can get it flashed here. Let me know if you want it done.

I wouldn't doubt another firmware... but I wouldn't say that positively with just one unit reported not working. Much more likely is a non-functional passme 2 or a misprogrammed one anyways.

Do you mean that if my passme2 is programmed for Kirby, it will not be useful for a deferent cart?
I thought that any cart in my passme2 will work… otherwise Y do I need the passme2 if I already have the cart… :?

Yeah, I learned this the hard way.  There's a $6 reprogram fee since it happens so much... I bought the game instead of paying the reprogramming fee, I thought the website could have made this point clearer.
