In other DS News, Desktopman has updated His Tetris Game with a 2 player mode on one DS. Also for those interested in DS Hacking you have the DS Homebrew Reference Site and finally Darkfader the original DS Hacker."

  2. I've tried this by KingOfTheNerds · · Score: 3, Informative

    Watch out when trying to build a passme, I've tried to build one myself, and after I soldered it up it did not work no matter what I did. I think it might have been because I held the soldering iron on the pads too long. Just don't be too pissed off if you try to build it and it doesn't work, mine was a dud.

    The passme takes in a DS cartridge (Metroid First Hunt). It sends a modified version of the ds cartridge header when it reads from the ds cartridge. The modified header changes the ARM7 Code Start to point to GBA cartridge space. Then the ARM7 code edits the ram and starts up the ARM9 with new code.
