Booting 1.0J NAND immediately goes to the "An error has occurred" screen
I have a DSi on 1.0J, so I decided to dump it's NAND for use in melonDS. However, as soon as I try to boot the NAND, it immediately goes to the "An error has occurred" screen. I tested the dump in no$gba and it seems to work just fine, so I'm not sure what's going on
EDIT: I should mention I'm using the latest commit that was built via GitHub Actions, ea1755b https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLUlL6jFIu0
xp from the Discord suggested hex editing byte 0x1FD in the DSi firmware to 0x01. Weirdly enough, that ended up working, but the unmodified firmware still works in no$gba.
0x1FD corresponds to the Wifi board to be used.
1FDh 1 Wifi Board (01h=DWM-W015, 02h=W024, 03h=W028
1.0J would only support DWM-W015 (other values require more recent versions). So whatever was set before would be just wrong. no$gba probably better detects it by analysing the wifi firmware in the NAND (which would be a better source of truth here compared to the DSi firmware). Was the DSi firmware dump on the same DSi anyways, or from some other DSi?
From another DSi, I dumped the NAND by ntrbooting into GM9i then into dumpTool. I didn't want to go through the pain of ntrboot working again, so I just used my bios and firmware files from my 1.4.5U DSi
