PassMe/NoPass
Natrium42 developed the PassMe, which was one of the first methods of booting unsigned code and retail DS games. A DS cartridge is attached to the device to bypass the copy protection, fooling the DS into thinking it has a legitimate gamecard inserted. The CPLD relocates the ARM7 and ARM9 addresses to slot-2 and sets an autoboot flag once you've passed the H&S warning, allowing DS code to be executed from the GBA slot. After the blowfish encryption was broken, "true" slot-1 flashcart solutions (such as "NoPass" devices) were developed that did not require a donor cartridge to use PassMe. Games developed with a later SDK will not run, and homebrew does require DLDI patching for your specific cart.

NAND-based
The first slot-1 based flashcart used an internal NAND flash that you can transfer your own games and homebrew software onto, with the use of a proprietary dongle that attaches to the GBA gameslot and is hooked via a USB cable to mount as a removable disk. DSGBA, an OEM manufacturer who specialized in developing the DSFlash2, supplied their own boards to various distributors, with them adding new updates and features to the kernel; the DS Fire Link, the N-Card, and the DS Linker were the most common.

| R4 Revolution for DS |
|
R4 Team. The V1 had issues relating to the spring-loaded microSD slot, which got stuck after many uses. So in response to this, they released the V2 model by opting for a plastic slot instead.
