rocky · June 18, 2006, 05:38:44 PM

no, why would they need a new version when the old one is working perfect?

Uum... new features..

except that loopy already said that he won't be updating flashme unless it needs to be updated to work with some future version of NDS firmware. Unless he changed his mind, I don't think he'll be updating it until it needs to be updated for compatibility.

There is one thing that he may fix: brightness on DSLite stuck on level 4 while plugged in to AC adapter in DS passthrough mode.

Could fix sleep mode.

I still don't understand how sleep mode is "broken". Sure, you have to have a cart in the slot, but do folks that use passme devices remove their passme after booting and then successfully put it into sleep mode?

DeVS · June 19, 2006, 12:39:47 PM

Remove? Why remove the Superkey or Passcard 3? They dont sit there and consume power like the previous passme devices.

I don't know. That's why I'm asking. I want to know how the sleep function is supposedly "broken" on the DSL v7 firmware.

Broken might not be the right word, but certainly flawed is.

For a P3 or SK you can just leave it in with your flashcart seems flawed, especially since the powerdraw on the P3 or SK is so neglibale is not going to be noticed by almost anyone. It's small enough no one has yet been able to confirm any battery loss time with those plugged in.

With flashme V7 you have to take out your cart and replace it with an original cart, so you must alwsys be having an original cart with you, whereever you go. Not so bad when you're at home, but sometimes inconvient when you just want to take your DS in your pocket and leave. Even if you do, its an extra hassle to dig it up and store the flashcard then.

If you have DS game in there, you can use sleepmode, but having one in pretty much defeats the purpose as its drawing out extra battery life. I've heard dummy DS cards work without sucking up extra juice, but i've yet to find anyplace selling them, especially flush DSL ones.
