  • All the different firmware versions. It is currently unknown if the "take battery out for a minute" method of clearing the firmware puts the firmware in the same state as it is in an unused DS. It does not seem like anyone has made a firmware dump of an unused console. Clean firmware dumps would be done by using auto-run flashcarts (possibly) or via a hardware method that doesn't require booting the DS (definitely).
    • If the above refers to the memory responsible for the DS/Lite "operating system" and settings, removing the battery forces the initial setup to run again (with a different language, and minus language selection) but doesn't actually clear the settings from the EEPROM; a "true factory reset" can be achieved by manually and carefully editing it (for example with NTR-EVA while referring to gbatek) but that's not exactly a byte-accurate restore to initial state (which is console specific anyway, as the firmware includes wifi calibration, etc) 151.41.136.215 10:12, 5 September 2018 (PDT) Ryccardo of gbatemp
