A firmware for DS that to start code in DS mode from a flash card in the GBA slot.  
Flashme is a firmware replacement for both the DS and DS Lite. It allows you to start code in DS mode from a flash card in the GBA slot, looks and acts the same as the original DS firmware except for the fact you will not need a Passme or Passcard to boot DS roms anymore.
 
The standard version of Flashme removes the DS intro screen (including the Warning screen) when booting up. If you wish to keep this boot up screen please use Flashme_Stealth, which leaves it intact.
