There are two ways to do trigger the update with the eject command. This is nice if you do not have console access to the device. This is exactly like With Built in Tools except we trigger the Didj to run those commands for us, by giving our package a higher version number and telling the Didj to eject. Both updates can be done at the same time. This update can be done with out a console connection, and mimics how LFConnect handles the task. Update With Out Console Access Force Update with Custom SCSI Commands Nandwrite -p /dev/mtd0 /Didj/Base/lightning-boot.bin Copy your file to /Didj/Base and run the following commands: You must understand the partition layouts. As it will keep thinking it needs an update.

I recently found the eLinux modding page for the system, and am trying to compile the Didj-compatible port of Leapster Explorer's Emerald-boot bootloader to it, so that I could then USB boot Surgeon and afterwards update to the newer Kernel and RootFS for a general-purpose portable Linux device.Īccording to the emerald-boot guide, the files needed for the mod would be: I was given a Leapfrog Didj earlier last year from someone, and would love to learn about modding it.
