Is there any program for Ds to fix a stuck pixel like psp??? how do I know if what I have is a stuck or a dead pixel?

[Slippy]

I haven't heard of any programs to fix a pixel, but if it's bright on a certain color it's stuck.  If it's dark it's dead.  If it's stuck try rubbing it gently with a non- abrasive microfiber cloth or a q-tip, sometimes you can massage it back to life.  Same with dead, but it's less likely to come back.  Be gentle either way... and it may return to normal.

There is a program. It's made by the same person that made Etool (cory1492 I believe is his name) ^_^;; Sorry I don't have the URL to his site, but I'm sure you can find it.

thanks for help but it didnt work.   :cry:  i tried and the program ran but the pixel still red. i think that it'll not be fixed. thanks again.

Leave Pixel Fixer v2 on for a long time. Change screens with A, start flashing "start".


Good luck!

etool was made by a guy named Brian Bennett.  

cory1492 VASTLY improved it.  cory rocks.  but i just wanted to give credit where it belongs

I never knew that it could be done like that, really incredible. :evil::evil:

actually, EEPROMTool was made by brian (and I had a non working one before he realized his on SC forum - difference being mine was using the broken NDSLib EEPROM functions), and I scrapped the code entirely when I realized the EERPROM Read/Write was busted in there too. Thanks to SATA though for RAIN and its predecessors I got working EEPROM/FLASH read/write routines and built ETool and EToolSMS around that. (see the ETool/SMS readmes for the explicit credits, down at the bottom )

As you can also see on my site download page, I still have the modified version of Brians tool that I had experimented with, check the source code and see exactly how much they look alike

If you want a much better pixel fixer than the one I did, with epilepsy proofing functionality and touch screen options check out this:

I have a mirror of the file on my site here:

oops.  heh.  thanks for the correction cory.

it was eepromtool.  So your etool 3.x has more in common with RAIN (the japanese program?) than eepromtool? anyway.. good job!

[cory1492]

Rain itself is displayed in english, but most comments in code and SATA's site is in Japanese.

He is much more adept at asm and rooting out hardware or low level compatible code than I am at the moment, so I used his files for "cardme.cpp" and "cardme.h" which contained the EEPROM/FLASH read, write and format functions. Keeping with his ideal and release of source code as "public domain" I also release the source for the stuff I have done using such copies of libs, making sure to put credit into the info pages.

So from a code point of view, yeah, there are common files from RAIN to ETools, beyond those 2 files with read/write/format 2mbit functions, I wrote all else in.
