Description

Recently, was added new DS and DSi BIOS to the no-intro database, dumps which were made with proper tools plus the console-unique information deleted (trusted modification).
Probably wise to replace the current bios hashes with the proper ones from the BizHawk firmware section.

Research direction

Start at the BizHawk firmware section and locate the current Nintendo DS, iQue DS, and DSi BIOS hash entries. Compare those entries with the linked No-Intro records, then verify that the firmware data reflects the newly identified clean dumps. The issue names no files or tests, so repository-wide searching will be needed first.
