To each their own, but I can't see how and soldering would be easier than just running a CFW installer program like CTurt's fwManager (and temporarily shorting the SL1).
But that's what I'm asking: is it really the firmware checking on boot if the top screen is connected? Or is it a hardware thing?
If it really is just a software check, there's no reason to do any of this, you could just patch out that one check in the firmware.
Again, it's nothing to do with the boot process. The console would turn off if the screen was suddenly removed post-boot too, right?
FlashMe has been around for more than 15 years. Custom firmwares are absolutely a thing on the DS.
I don't think it's anything to do with the "Boot Sequence". Wouldn't the console turn off post-boot if the screen was removed too?
Otherwise if it's just a check in the boot process, none of the described hardware modification is even required because custom firmwares are possible on the DS.
