Nintendo DS : FlashMe setup

This tutorial explains you how to put FlashMe on a Nintendo DS (old ones). Another tutorial might come explaining how to put FlashMe on DS Lite.

What you need

•   A small screw driver
•   A piece of foil paper
•   Nintendo DS / DS Lite (of course)
•   PassCard device (PassMe 1/2, PassCard 3, EZ-Flash Pass3, or WiFiMe for fat DSes) in order to boot code from the GBA slot.
•   A flashcard to put FlashMe on (SuperCard ...)
•   FlashMe ".nds" file. (download it here)

•   First, you will have to copy the FlashMe file on your card. You can get it in the downloads page.

•   On the back of the DS, there is a screw holding the battery cover. You need to unscrew it.

• You will find three holes, you need to remove the small sticker on the top one.

Here is the SL1 on the motherboard :

•   Prepare the screwdriver by rolling up foil paper around the point.
•   Now start the DS. Choose the FlashMe program (here is an example using SuperCard)

•   You will have to hit X B X B to continue and then you MUST keep your DS on until it's finished (plug the adapter for security).
•   Put the screwdriver with foil paper to short SL1. You have to touch the two sides of the gap (check the yellow bar on the previous picture).

•   If you do it well, the percentage should increase. If it doesn't work, try to move the screwdriver in the hole.
•   When the bottom screen shows 100%, you have finished. You can switch off the DS and put the battery cover back.
