Quick summary:

Passcards
Passcards are passme's that don't require a DS game, and that fit completely in the DS lot.
They usually don't stick out from the DS at all. This solution is absolutely riskless.
Passcards are quite cheap nowadays.
Edit: I hear passcards suck battery faster than other hacking solutions.. to be confirmed

Flashme
Flashme is a firmware hack. It's risky, since you can brick your DS.
Although once flashed, you can't get your ds bricked by homebrew apps (yeah ds viruses exist. thank you darkfader and happy birthday)
And to flash your DS you also need a passme or a passcard (once flashed, these are no longer required).

Passme / Passkey / Superpass
You all know what a passme is.
They require a DS game. They stick out from the DS a lot.
But they're so cheap now.

Other
There are other solutions.
The MKx (MK2, MK3?) or some neoflash products are supposed to work in the DS slot without even a GBA flashcart.
I don't know more about it.
And there might soon be that NinjaDS thingy but we don't know much yet.

They all suck
Of course, buying games rocks and is always the best solution.
It's also the most expensive

TPi sucks
TPi might be what you're looking for. It can get you free DS games!
You should PM him for more information.


So now, tell us what you think is the best way to hack your nintendo DS.

TPi totally sucks. That guy is just so incredibly not cool. He is not random in any way and never says a word. Yep. Not a word.

Okay actually getting on topic, while I voted for TPi Sucks my unofficial vote has to go for Passme. We would not be anywhere right now without them.

I will go with Flashme for now but if a custom firmware like FWNitro takes off then I will go with that.

I would hate to see TPi's inbox after this stunt as well.

If you are really stupid, it might be possible to brick your DS while installing FlashMe. However, once you have got it installed, your DS is save from the bricker. It's probably rare but I would be afraid to run any roms or homebrew if I did not have FlashMe installed. It's also very annoying to use a huge PassMe or a PassMe 2 with an old SuperCard. The new NoPass solutions might be a better choice but the MML does not support sleep mode and the Passcard 3 is expensive. Use FlashMe, it's easily the best choice and it's futureproof.

FlashMe FTW!

nothing sticks out, you spare the battery, and... it's free (as long as you borrow a passme from a friend

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
