Bios list for Bios Flasher Utility. - leetuser - 03.08.2015 06:33

Can someone please explain which bios is which. I know the link83 bios is the alternative boot up animation and is region free. Is there a region free bios available on the dreamshell disk that I can write which will load with the original retail (NTSC-U) boot up animation? Thanks!

Try this bios
Choose the retail Bios.

This is based on link83 with added features.
More info on the Bios here

You can put the file anywhere you like or you can just add the bios to your "DS/firmware/bios/sega/" folder on your SD or HDD.

This BIOS appears to also have the devkit 3d animation on the boot screen. I basically wan't all those features of the link83 BIOS except with a retail boot screen. Does one like that exist anywhere?

From one of the links I sent....
Цитата:It is a modified BIOS base on the version 1.01d of the retail one.

Цитата:Hi your "VGA BIOS" sounds great! And frankly I'm getting a little tired of the devkit intro I currently have. So it's nice that you have both kinds available Big Grin

Did you choose the retail bios? It appears he offers two choices. A devkit and a retail.

Ok, his wording is kind of strange. I'll load up the retail one and see if it works. I'll report back. Thanks,

Woohoo! It works!! It's exactly what I wanted. I didn't have a SD mod, so I rebuilt the cdi image to include the .bin with Boot Dream. Leaned something new today, too. Thanks for the help!
