|
||||
<h3>Requirements</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Flashcart</li>
|
||||
<li>DS phat or DS lite</li>
|
||||
<li>Screwdriver or tinfoil</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<a href="#">FlashMe</a>
|
||||
<b>(I haven't tested this guide with flashme, but it should provide a layer of
|
||||
brick protection)</b>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>Setup</h3>
|
||||
<ol type="1">
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Download the <code><a href="#">040615</a></code> or <code><a href="#">40820D</a></code> prototype firmware.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
There should be a <code>.bin</code> file in your downloaded firmware. Extract it and rename it to
|
||||
<code>cfw.bin</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Create a folder on the root of your flashcart's SD card called
|
||||
<code>firmwares</code> and copy <code>cfw.bin</code> to that.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Download <code><a href="#">fwManager.zip</a></code><span style="color:red">*</span> at the
|
||||
bottom of this guide. (this is the tool we'll use to flash the firmware)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Extract <code>fwManager.nds</code> from <code>fwManager.zip</code> and copy it to the
|
||||
root of your flashcart's SD card.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<h3>Installation</h3>
|
||||
<ol type="1">
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Launch your flashcart on your DS, then run <code>fwManager.nds</code>. Follow the
|
||||
on screen instructions, but don't start writing to the console!
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you were start writing, you'd notice that nothing happens. This is
|
||||
because the console memory is write protected. To disable it, open up the
|
||||
battery cover. (see images in spoiler below)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>

||||

|
||||
<span style="color:red"><b>WARNING: Make sure to not short a DS Lite (can happen by touching the metal
|
||||
point right next to<code>SL1</code>). Use an improvised tool that is insulated to the
|
||||
sides and only leaves metal exposed at the tip.
|
||||
<span class="bbcode-size-14">(thanks KleinesSinchen)</span></b></span>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
3. Locate the <code>SL1</code> pin. You'll notice there are two metal pads that make up the <code>SL1</code>. We need to bridge them (connect them together). This can be done by holding a small flathead screwdriver (or another metallic material) to both pads.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<span style="color:red"><b>ANOTHER WARNING: DO NOT remove the battery at any time during writing. You will BRICK YOUR CONSOLE (see the green text below for unbricking)</b></span>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
4. Once bridged, you may start writing. You must keep <code>SL1</code> bridged for the
|
||||
entire writing process.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
5. When the writing is complete, unbridge <code>SL1</code> and
|
||||
reboot the console.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
Your console should now boot to the prototype firmware (it
|
||||
may take a couple seconds to load). If your console does not boot after a long
|
||||
period of time, you've likely bricked it. But don't worry,
|
||||
<span style="color:green"><b>YOU CAN UNBRICK YOUR CONSOLE!</b></span> Refer to
|
||||
<a href="https://gbatemp.net/blogs/i-fixed-a-ds-lite-with-another-ds-lite.15450/#ubs-comment-200532">this</a> blog entry for info on how to restore a bricked DS. It's pretty easy to do.
