Would you also tell me what i need to get started with the dish stuff, as I'm tired of Dave right now! What type of programer or
emulator I need. Any and all newbie help please. Thanks

Ok first off dish is not as easy as it looks, just to up and switch to dish requires alot of good reading.. you can start by clicking here (http://www.dsstester.com/_article_dish_basicguide.asp). Then if you have any further questions I will be happy to help.. :)

Dishnet tools:
iso programmer @ 3.68mghz any dual iso programer will work..Also might wan to get an unlooper, results aren't real good and can only repair rom 3 cards
avr3 is for the S cards that can't be dumpped...


P.S. dish can ecm a card and/or IRD in seconds without proper protection, just a warning.
