Flashme v8a released (was v8)

[DanTheManMS]

New release from Olimar aka Loopy:

holy crap, it's a flashme update. about damn time...

Changes:

- Added audio cues to tell you when it's flashing.
- Removed MK2/3 booting code, because it was causing problems.
- Noflashme updated to fix issues with DS Lite.
- Made a "no autoboot" version that won't boot SLOT-2 unless A,B,X,Y are held.

UPDATE:

Ok, another update (v8a).

The recovery code can boot both slot1 and slot2 (it tries slot1 first, then slot2 if it can't find a card). I changed the recovery key combo to START+SELECT. If you're not sure if even the failsafe got flashed, power it up with start+select and no cards inserted. The power LED should blink if it's working.

The no-autoboot version now boots from slot-2 when SELECT is held (instead of A+B+X+Y).

Great timing. i just flashed my DS yesterday

If i want to reflash it do i uninstall flashme with noflash or do i just flash it again?

[kcajblue]

just flash over the old one.
no need to uninstall.

i wasnt expecting there to be another release for this in a while. good work!

EDIT: i just flashed my ds with it and it worked without a brick.
but now my ds link doesnt start up. dunno why though.
anyone know why?
gonna have to wait to get my M3 CF back to reflash with v7.

EDIT 2: hey dan. you should edit this into the main post so no one else does the same thing i did.

Beware if you own a DSLink though, as the MK1/2 booting routines that the DSLink uses to boot have been removed in this version. Here's the changes:

Apparently it relied on the MK2 booting code to work. Geez, that's pretty sleazy. Interesting...
