Nintendo DS Hacking [Archive] - ForumsHQ

I found some info about DS hacking, and I think i'm going to get into it.

I bought a flash cart for my GBA and it looks like it works for the DS.

So I'll probably soon buy a DS, and use the tutorials available:

i tried a fliptop for my ps2... and failed. i think i broke it =\

[Prince Galahad]

howd you break it? was it getting the insides into the new case?

[Raybdbomb]

but i think i was given the wrong ps2 top...

Those flip tops work well, then? I've been looking into getting one myself, just not to keen on opening the PS2 for anything. Got a friend who mods x-box's, though, so maybe I can sucker him into helping me if I buy one.

The swap magic CD works great, and it loads PS2 CDs great.

But for some reason I'm having issues loading the DVD. It appears to not recognize it when I insert it. I was able to load it once, but I haven't been able to load it since, after dozens of tries.

I know that the lasers go bad on PS2s often, but would that make sense considering it runs PS2 cd's perfectly, and also considering that it actually worked flawlessly once?

The DVD and the CD both appear to have no scratches, and I gave them a nice clean to make sure.

A friend said that PS2's have a "memory" of what type of media they contain, i.e. CD or DVD, and that the problem I'm having might have to do with it THINKING it has a CD so it can't read a DVD. He suggested ejecting the CD and loading the DVD (instead of inserting from the top via the fliptop). This is what worked the first time, but hasn't worked since...

If nobody knows, can someone refer me to another forum where I might be able to get an answer to this?
