Seems it only shows your original FW version and the current one you have, plus some fixes for MultiNDS and NEo-flash carts

Not if you're upgrading from v5 you don't.

Nope, you are wrong. Even with Flashme v5, you STILL need to bridge SL1. It will get to 66% before stopping in wait for the bridge. I just flashed (upgraded from v5) and can confirm this. Works the same on this end.

hi just wanted to know if Flashme v6 is already "official" or just a beta release, i.e. it is unsafe or has bugs because for me v5 worked flawlessly,even during online play with MKDS and THAS

I don't think you had v5 then. I upgraded from v5 yesterday, and it went straight to 100% without me having to bridge SL1.

Same here, no SL1 bridge necessary.

This happened to me as well. I think you should be prepared to bridge SL1 regardless of if you think you will need it or not just in case.

No bridging required here

Seems a bit pointless for me since there doesn't seem to be any changes for SC users. Is there a changelog somewhere?

karurosu already said it in his post but...

Changes:
- shows your old firmware version
- fixed booting problems with with Darkain's MultiNDS and NeoFlash loaders

No, I did have v5. I have it on two NDS units actually. Perhaps it was because it was a v3 NDS? The v6 loader said that the previous Flashme was v5 like I said, and said that the original firmware was v3. This was an electric blue unit. It went to 66% and stopped. I bridged and it continued and completed.

The only other thing I can think of is that my v5 flashme was the one without the health and warning screens.
