You might want to edit the title to reflect "DS" in place of "PSP".

As for bricking using an R4 - highly improbable.

yeah. you should change the thread name to say DS instead of PSP.
the only way you can brick with an R4 is if you get some homebrew that purposely bricks the DS

you can brick your ds by putting in the R4 with NO microsd inserted and flicking it on/off quickly about 3x (i tried to brick my ds before, obviously). i believe it gets bricked because some of the firmware gets bypassed (the bypass i know of is you don't have to touch the health screen to continue) and then it tries to read new memory. to ensure that your ds doesn't get bricked, just make sure the R4 has a microsd inserted and that you don't flick on/off too fast.

now, who wants to confirm? i would, but i no longer have access to more ds lites.

to unbrick it, you'll need to do the memory swap trick (requires 2 ds's) and flashing. i recommend one learns soldering skillz and solder the correct points to ensure a proper flash (warranty is voided with either custom flashes or opening up the ds, so why not?).

the chances that you will brick your ds is extremely low under normal circumstances. so don't think about it and just get an R4 and microsd.

jgarces07:The shoulder buttons on my DS (not Lite) are not working. Any advice?
nintenut:This is going to sound a bit odd, but it works, put your lips around the trigger and blow really hard, it works.
bee_cup: My DS Lite L button don't work...
nintenut: Put your mouth on it and blow, gets the dust out, and sounds obscene!
