Hello,

This is a blast from the past, and kind of silly, but I am hoping against the odds that someone can help. Back in the day as a teenager I got a DS Extreme flashcart, and for a few months used it normally. Back then, Bob's game was going to come out on 9/9/09 and I downloaded a rom with its title [not realizing that he never released the game because of Nintendo] and for whatever reason, I had in my settings set to autoload. The rom was a clever rick roll, however, because of my unfortunate settings my DS Extreme has been seemingly forever set to autoload the fake Bob's Game file that has the rick roll. I had formatted the flashcart and replaced the firmware but the file seems to still be on there somewhere undetectable, because 14 years later still have the same thing. I've long since gone to the Acekard for the NDS and until recently forgot I had the DS Extreme. However, I accidentally found the relic and am interested in restoring it to functionality, because it is a rare piece of homebrew history. Does anyone have any ideas how I could get it to function as it's supposed to?

Thank you

Instant boot - simply put, instant boot allows you to boot straight into your favorite homebrew app every time u power up your unit. The OS is bypassed and the last selected app will automatically load. In is important to note that in order to re-enter into the OS you must hold down the A button while booting
Found from here. Maybe try holding A on boot?
