Nintendo DS Errors 

About the Pictochat error is actually a hidden firmware version access. A feature that, once you choose a room, by retiring the cartridge, depending of the color of the screen, it indicates the console firmware.

6:34 scared the living shit out of me

Useless fact: The GBA crash also happens on real hardware, it can sometimes sound interesting.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that reminded me I haven't done DS Errors on my streams :D Totally forgot about this little gem What other console would you like to see next?

Just a little advice about the game card error: This r4 card have no bios inside or the r4 card was corrupted. This error is not from any ds included. Only the r4 cards

He's back to his roots!

I missed these error videos. I absolutely love them for some reason Reading into errors and stuff, and knowing what causes them makes me happy Well, both that and terrified. Still hate the BSoD lol

I'm not sure if "the sound of death" happens anywhere outside gba mode. As far as I know, it occurs when you take out the cartridge while the game is playing, and the ds is still trying to read data, so it ends up sending out garbage.

Finally! Edit: I love how at 2:28, there's a bit of the Wii and Wii U's death sound

Dude the Nintendo DS WiFi searching tune is such a bop lowkey.

Colored screen is NOT an error Its actually for determining your Firmware version

idk why but i love watching these old videos like in 4:12

I got the sound of death once when I was bored playing a gba game on my ds so I decided to see if something funny would happen if I wiggled the cartridge. The sound started to appear, leaving the game with no sound, and a few seconds later, the game also froze

2:36 Fnf fans: YOO THIS IS FIRE🔥🔥

1:42 that is a DS flashcart error, not a console error 4:43 it's a GBA game crash 5:42 that's a 3ds error

Most of these errors seems to be errors that are from random R4 cards, not with the console itself. Ex. The DS Lite didn't even have an SD card slot, so an SD/TF card error would've been... strange... to say the least. The error at 1:40 is likely an R4 Time Bomb. Some R4 cards have time bombs that render the cartridge useless if the console's date goes beyond a certain range (in order to make money on more R4 cards). R4 Cards with a bomberman icon are well known time bomb carts.

Just as I thought he was done with this series, he actually came back to it! Glad to see it again and i hope you continue making it in the future!

The firmware expired error is actually from the r4 cards. For some reason, you have to dial the DS back to the year 2000 to get proper functionality of the card. It has happened to me SEVERAL TIMES and I think I even destroyed an r4 card because I thought it had simply just broken down!

The crash sound can also happen on GBAs. To make it happen, take the cartridge halfway out mid-game. The sound varies depending on the game.

I've got some things to say - the SD card and outdated firmware errors happen only with R4 cards and they are errors coded in the cartridge itself, not in the console. - The outdated firmware error happens not because something is broken in the cartridge's files, but because the R4 cards have an expiration date. After reaching it, that error will appear every time you try to use it, but that can be fixed just by changing the console's date to any time before that, so there's no corrupt system files or anything broken in this error - 0:49 The DS doesn't have any SD card slot, so I'm guessing we are going back to R4 cards. The first example shown shows the normal boot up and then the error happens, which I assume that console had the auto-play feature activated (that feature launches the game without going through the menu or pressing any button, only showing the classic intro of the console before launching the game, which is basically what happened here) so that error doesn't affect the console itself in any way. - 5:50 i can understand showing some DSi errors because some of the system's UI and errors match the DS, but why the 3DS

Dsi didn't expect this video. P.S. the title should say DS/DSi/3DS also some errors are from flash carts which arent technically originating from the ds but from the cartridge/game.

You already know it is a good day when BK4 makes an error video.

5:31 Translation: Connection problem

3:55 This error can also be done on the dsi by putting the memory pit on an SD with nothing to boot but simply turning off and removing the SD fixes it

Another easy freeze, well at least for me when using a DS, either just go on the home menu then eject the cartridge, or load the game and take the cartridge out when the game is about to boot

2:31 - I can easily do that too, it's caused by a GBA cartridge being damaged, but readable, or if its jolted, its not just a DS error, the GBA also has the error, and it'd also more of a crash than an error

I think the error noise also happens on an actual gba, ive had that too when i took out a cartridge. it was kinda spooky xd

For the 3DS errors video, the "black screen" one actually does have fixes. The most common one is taking the SD card out, but that can mess up the slot after a while

6:35 bro the blue lobster jumpsare almost kill me 💀

The menu error was the funniest one of all

The firmware error actually is cartridge based, if you revert back your nds date and time of a few years it will work. I think it's caused by the r4 cartridge firmware being obsolete, not at all by the console.

4:44 Fire beat tho 🔥🔥

4:45 kinda sounds like a song

This is my favorite series! Thanks for uploading this, BK4!

6:32 I'm scared to death!!!💀💀💀

These videos are like microwaved dinners. They're not good and I probably shouldn't be eating them, but they're great in the moment.

5:00 that beat is pretty funky tho

lovely to see these error videos again, and the ending earrapes are back too! :D my soul died

As some would have said here, the "Firmware Expired" on R4 cards is a case of planned obsolescence. They are made like that, so once a certain date comes by on whichever DS system you use it on, be it the first DS right up to a 2DSXL/New 3DSXL, that will come up. It can work just fine still (like with one i got some years ago), just set the time back to a date before that happens, and it works fine. Nasty little tactic that timebomb is, just to make you buy more. But you don't need to, as stated it will function just fine as long as you set the date back enough.

4:53 OH HELL NAH 💀💀

I recently learned that sometimes the noises and colored screens are to tell you what kind of error is (especially with the hardware errors) so they're easier to detect. I wonder if some of these noises are for that too PS: No offense but I absolutely hate you for that ending. I actually got jumpscared by the damn lobster

the sound of death is easy to reproduce if you have a ds game and a 3ds, i tried it multiple time on multiple games, and the one that yield the most result (93%) is resident evil deadly silence when you charge a room and just go see a zombie in another room

you're missing the Bootrom Errors, which as far as I know, the DSi displays nothing but an error code on a black screen, for example 0000FEFE correlates to the bootloader being corrupted or modified. The 3DS displays a blue screen with "Bootrom 8046" followed by some info in hexadecimal. Anyways, it means the bootloader of the 3DS is corrupt or you're performing a hardmod which during NAND dumping and writing this screen displays.

1:37 Hold on a moment, I have that cartridge as well! It happened to me too and the way to fix it is to set your DS's system year time to the one written on the back of the cartridge 2:26 also thats genuinely terrifying lol 4:44 thats even more terrifying

The console sound crash happens quite commonly if you play version 1 of super mario 64 DS. No clue why but the same thing happens if you have the super waluigi 64 DS romhack, it will sometimes make that noise.

Pictochat one can be more colors. If you have firmware v1 its black, v2 is a navy blue, green is v3, yellow is v4, pink is v5, green and pink seem to be the most common although mine does blue

im so glad ur doing error videos again

4:46 this sound IS perfect for a horror game

The sound of death can be caused from taking the cartridge out of the system but not everytime

I was playing my ds lite as a kid once and got mad at the game and threw the whole machine as hard as i could on a hardwood floor and now to this day my top screen is permanently red but still playable

4:00 I love how he calls it "pinky pinkness".

Yay, you made another error videos, I luv these

LET'S GOOOO!!!! THE SERIES IS BACK!!!!!!

Ah yes, the DS and DSlite... The consoles that crashed upon themselves once you looked at them funny

Yay back at it with the errors!

As always, awesome. You explained how to obtain it as always👍

Casi me da un ataque al corazón el final del video.

L O B S T E R 2 0 0 0

i was waiting for this and it actually came out!

4:44 love this noise I don’t know why

Nice video, but some of these are obviously not official as per the other comments state. It may also pay to double check some of the "caused by" as the Nintendo DS doesn't have a CMOS battery. AFAIK the RTC was powered by the console battery itself. If flat battery = clock reset.

The pink screen of death kept happened on my ds lite, then it stopped working entirely a month later. It wasn't the one on pictochat, It just kept happening when I booted up games and on pictochat, and it would completely freeze up and the sound that was playong would loop.

It's good to see you back !

This is so nostalgic I feel like I've been through at least three of those errors and I was horrified

I'm pretty sure most of these errors are from modded systems and/or R4 Carts.

The first one I can replicate without a broken dirty or moded cartridge 😂 that’s just how F,ed up my dsi is

Game cartridge errors can be cartridge specific! I've seen ones for Kirby Super Star Ultra & for Kirby Squeak Squad, though I haven't seen them documented anywhere, which is a shame.

Every other error: eerie screen or sound Sound of death: *receipt printer noises*

2:52 🤣 lol

The last one was a 3DS

2:27 when you hear that you know that death is near no doubt it scares me 100%

The broken sound can be replaced so easily all you have to do is take the game boy game out after it shows the game boy logo and boom so it’s level/difficulty is super easy

3:16 Can confirm, does not work on DSi

What about the ever so rare NAND errors? I think it was a blue screen but some of the 3DS systems had them when the NAND chip was loose or bad and would usually result in a blue screen with some addresses

The error screen series lives!!

The legend is back

4:20 came from 2004

the game card error is actually an error for r4 flash cards when the firmware is corrupted or missing the sd/tf error is the same thing but can also mean a corrupted sd card or invalid/unreadable file system the firmware expired error is a timebomb r4 clone manufactures put in their r4 cards to make you buy another one none of those errors are official from nintendo these are for r4 flash cards and r4 flash card clones the sound of death happens when you remove a gba cart whilst its playing. it happens on a gba too so not really a ds error the coloured screen of death on pictochat isn't an error but rather a hidden firmware version check where different colours can mean different firmware versions the pink screen is found on ds lites whereas the green screen is found on launch ds systems the last one of the coloured screen of death shown in the video is another example of that gba error seen in the sound of death the error code error is the only nintendo official ds error in the whole video with others not being errors or not being errors for the ds system (in the sense of one being a gba error with the other errors being for r4 flash cards and r4 flash card clones)

I missed these videos

I just remembered this channel and I love it

1:43 thats an r4 error, not a ds one

5:41 This is actually a 3DS

HES BACK AT THE ERROR VIDS LETS GOO

There's a glitch in super scribblenauts where if you spawn mini tornados and put them inside each other until you reach the limit, you can load the level and then jump into the tornadoes. That used to crash my system.

I think 2:19 was a loading corrupt or a game unknown when it tried to run a gba game or it could be a relation to 4:43?

the connection test at 5:41 is a 2DS/3DS but ok

Most SoD: Absolutely terrifying. DS SoD: I'm a printer. *Makes Printer noises*

I missed this so much.

Dude, the first 3 errors aren't ACTUAL DS/DSi errors, they're errors from either flashcarts (e.g. R4) OR from Homebrew. (like that SD/TF card error) The DSi/DS's firmware can't expire, but back in the day of flashcarts, THOSE had firmware that'd expire after a certain date. It was known as timebombing. Do you even have a DSi or DS of your own, not counting the Nintendo 3DS/2DS Family systems?

6:04 That's the 3DS not a DS

4:43 that ds knows how to spit bars

THE MASTER RETURNED WHEN WE NEEDED HIM MOST

The one at 1:17 is kinda strange for an error screen

You do realise that most of these error screens don't come from the hardware, right? It usually comes from either the game or modded firmware.

gba crash sound hits hard imo

2:30 "Tactical Nuke, INCOMING"

The first error is not the ds, it is the R4 card, that gives the error. and the second one is that the r4 card doesnt have the home menu. And error 3 is made, because the R4 has a timebomb. And why is there a 3ds in the last clip

Omg 6:38 !!!

the jumpscare at the end got me lmao

You should redo all of your errors videos! This one is so well explained with a ton of cool errors as well! I'm pretty sure in your old videos you can arrange and add a few more errors!
