Did you mean The DSi?

The software was probably stored in the machine itself, then, and that would've had some code to make the console bypass the DSi Menu on startup and launch directly into the software used to run the machine.

@@kbhasithe software is not on the machine but rather a nintendo ds cartridge connected to the machines motherboard

Yeah and there's only 3 of those in North America

Any idea what the games were?

Eliot already knows that as he reviewed face training for the DSI

@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 I wasn’t talking to Elliot.

@@dogg-paws Google it

My DS is stolen from my friend's older sister. She still doesnt know. I paid 35 bucks for it.

Ah I remember putting a CRT TV into Kiosk mode once. I did it through the service menu though. Similarly to you I could only turn it on or off if I plugged it in or unplugged it. the Remote control stopped working which means I couldn't get BACK into service mode to deactivate kiosk mode. If I remember correctly it also wouldn't let me adjust the volume any more either. I ended up having to throw it away because between that and that there was a color problem that couldn't be corrected so using it was impractical and an eyesore to look at when gaming. Ended up replacing it with a smaller CRT with horrific overscan that cannot be corrected.

@@rashira9610 Oh god I have a 30' GE was about to ask about doing this... I'd rather not after reading this lol.

For future reference, any tv new enough should have a secret menu. You might need a $15 factory remote from eBay/Amazon/etc for some tvs, but you might be able to enable a real kiosk mode, including turning on automatically. Just don’t mess with anything without looking up a secret menu guide, some settings might make it so you don’t have a usable image anymore, (can’t see the secret menu) and would need either a jtag cable or a tv repair tech to fix. But kiosk settings are safe, just don’t lose the password lol.

@@goosebyte "Any TV new enough" This one was a 720p Sanyo TV from the beginning of flatscreen TVs.

@@melsbacksfriend might be new enough, google is the only way. Got the model number? Sometimes following general guides for brands will get you there. I've had it work on TV's as old as 2006, though I'm sure there were older TV's with secret menus too, probably some crts even.

Nintendo laywer in disguise

you clearly joking rn, but maybe haven't heard of Nintendo ninjas

There was a cartridge connected to teh factory unit, i think it didn’t automatically go into the dsi menu as mine has photos of factory workers

@@lasscat1 If it had the photos, then the software likely didn't bypass the menu. My guess is that it only happened on some machines or someone figured out how to remove the game card that would probably have been locked in.

@@kbhasi Maybe that makes sense, I think you're right it bypasse dthe menu

I came here to say that. Really bothered about the old shell

replacing the screen would have been harder so that might have been a reason too

what

I’d like to imagine out there somewhere there’s a building called “Handheld”

Nintendo doesn’t gaf

Well that’s defo a scam I never win anything ever 😂👍🏻
