9/08/2008 6:10:20 PM nolan wilson gtg

he said that when he boots his ds its......"black".
What can i do?
is he trying to take $120 of my wallet?
i cant beleive this happened!

....If it didn't break your DS, then it didn't break his >.>

hes probably not doing something properly, or he rammed the cart in so hard it broke the DS

That would have to be extremely hard, it should shouldn't be able to reach the loader hardware, unless the spring and gaps have been modified to do so. Actually check with him to see if it "bricked". A proper bricked DS wouldn't even turn on.

no wait.....maybe his firmware was deleted....but he doesnt download homebrew porn though....
ah well i spoke to his dad and he got yelled at big time....

If so, it should still be able to boot.

Looks like someone downloaded darkfaders hentai application... ::) (It's totally his fault whatever it is).

What an idiot. No offense to you friend, though. Well, yeah, there is a bunch of offense. And he had the nerve to demand monetary compensation from YOU? I despise ignorant fools.http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/10/new-ds-trojan-bricks-your-nintendo-ds/

So if you happen to be of the dubious persuasion to run 3rd party DS roms claiming to be hentai viewers (ahem), don't come whining to us when you're stuck with a fancy paperweight trying to figure how to restore your DS to a playable state.

[sarcasm]Wow! He's such a great friend![/sarcasm] <-End
Well it's not the firmware, it'll be a trojan or if it's ds phat it can be his screen but he'd still have the starting sound...

No such thing as a DS trojan..

actually I would demand money for breaking your flashcart.
(unless it isn't actually broken...)

anandjones · #10No such thing as a DS trojan..

Trojan definition- Trojan's may appear as legitamite/normal programs but actually harbor viruses that are released on your hard drive whilst activating the program.
A file/program that says it's a a file/program when it's not and contains viruses is a trojan, that exists, therefore there is a ds trojan.

It's not called that, it's usually called a bugger, or a bricker.

that convo was kinda funny.....Demand money for you broken R4!~He broke, he should pay

The R4 was never broken...

It's a program that appears legitamite but damages files (Virus= A maliscious item/file that damages the hard drive and/or it's contents)

It was the person's own fault, get them to deal with it.
