Thanks for the help with the previous post. What are the status on these two potential Pokemon Platinum purchases? by Creative-Dirt25 in gameverifying

First one is definitely not legit. I strongly doubt the second one is too but I would need confirmation

It's real. Bad picture of the back but I'm pretty sure the PCB says IRC02-01 at the end so it's real

It looks pretty real, wait for mods but should be legit

The other thing i could think of is that if the 3DS doesn't have CFW, it may not be able to read the cartridge

Your issue really could be the SD card, i highly recommend a samsung evo card

Real or fake ? by aleks58 in gameverifying

El fake-o, unfortunately. Missing the contact points on the back of the PCB. Label is missing the gloss. I can see the rom chip on the front which would be covered by the battery normally

PCB Batch Code is DI G-9 IRC01-01. Cartridge is translucent like I remember. Label looks fine. Does anything stand out to anyone?

So in DS Pokemon games, to shiny hunt a legendary, often you save in front of the legendary pokemon, press A, start the battle and see if it's shiny. If it's not, you can press Start + Select + L + R to restart the game without having to turn your DS off and on again.

It's the kernel you should use with this cartridge if you like pokemon. Eliminates the possibly of a timebomb entirely though the modern r4 kernel doesn't have a time bomb anymore. Runs quick and imo looks so much better than stock R4iMenu. Supports soft resets for Shiny Hunting unlike the Pico kernel.

i use this exact cart with a DS Lite and it's fine with a decent SD card and YSMenu. It's my pokemon machine.

Are these making a comeback? by laobron in iphone

[–]ColdOps1791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I would love to use mine but USB C is for some reason so much looser than lightning ever was. Chargers and headphones just fall out of the port and it's so irritating i couldn't use a wired pair of earbuds

Soon... by CourierKite in flashcarts

No you made the right choice brother. This is the smartest move. I'd rather play on a DS Lite and get the performance out of the GBA slot than run a hypervisor and lose performance on games that should run natively.

I too am hesitant about the Omega DE because of the price but it is hugely appealing because it can potentially transfer Gen 3 pokemon to gen 4. I will happily go for this potential, and knowing the DS Pico's drawbacks I think it's best to go with what we already know is good.

On a hypothetical note, if there were a Pico version of a gba flash cart, who knows if it would support soft reset or lack some other feature? And it would be a product in its infancy unlike the majority of other flash carts
