JaJa Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 w00t w00tloopy_: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~tew/loopy_: flashme fixed for mario kartJaJa_Food: wtf? already?Furre: I thought mariokart wasnt out o.opepsilv10: what was mariokart writing, and where?zid`: loopy_: just jiggled it around a bit?
mocnicom Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Can you give more info on this? Mariokart won't work with an old flashme version?
Samor Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 mario kart overwrites the old flashme.it's nothing too terrible - the failsafe of flashme can restore it, but it's better if it's fixed
MasterKevosavi Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 So you mean that if I had a flashme-ed DS, and I ran Mario Kart on it, it would change the firmware (making homebrew unable to run) unless I use this verson of flashme?
GrupstraNDS Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) Right, It breaks the firmware because it writes where the flashme firmware is, thinking there is nothing there (I assume). this new one solves this (we think), and shouldn't be a prob. Also: I updated my flashme with this new one, it falshed fine, however, I obviously can't test yet. Edited November 3, 2005 by GrupstraNDS

Thank YOU LOOPY
JaJa Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 It doesn't completley brick your DS.Don't say that you'll scare people.It makes it temporarily non-bootable, until you run the recovery code, which re-writes flashme.It doesn't change your firmware it overwrites a small section that should be unused.But flashme is in there, and so becomes damaged and unbootable.
thoduv Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Does someone test it ? I'm hoping it will work ! If so : great job Loopy !
MasterKevosavi Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Yup, I'm sure someone will test it when Mario Kart COMES OUT...
JaJa Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 JaJa_: DarkainMX: did you test Mk with the latest flashme?DarkainMX: yes
alexa999 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 The original FlashMe page is back up. I wonder what happened to it to make Loopy switch hosts...
