Flashme is a firmware replacement for both the DS and DS Lite. It allows you to start code in DS mode from a flash card in the GBA slot, looks and acts the same as the original DS firmware except for the fact you will not need a Passme or Passcard to boot DS roms anymore.
The standard version of Flashme removes the DS intro screen (including the Warning screen) when booting up. If you wish to keep this boot up screen please use Flashme_Stealth, which leaves it intact.
Installation
Flashme files:
- Normal version - Boot-up logo and safety warning are removed.
- Stealth version - Warning screen is left intact.
- NoFlashMe Uninstaller - Not recommended for DS Lite.
- No autoboot (stealth) - PASS check is removed. SLOT-2 is only booted when holding the Select button.
Requirements:
- GBA Flashcart.
- AC Adapter.
- A Passme2 and Compatible game/Passcard device.
- Screwdriver to open the battery lid
- An insulated conductive tool to bridge the SL1 connection.
If DS software is detected in SLOT-2, flashme will automatically run it. Otherwise, it will launch the normal DS firmware.
Run flashme using some device made for running homebrew code. Follow the on-screen instructions. The SL1 contact needs to be shorted with a small metallic object like a small flathead screwdriver, bent paperclip, etc. Be careful not to touch any other parts inside the DS, or it may shut off unexpectedly.
To upgrade to a newer version, just run it. You don't need to uninstall the previous version.
User guide
Recovery:
Failsafe code is written into the first few blocks of firmware, in case the flashing procedure gets interrupted or malicious software overwrites part of your firmware. Run flashme or noflashme to repair it.
