Screens of death on video game consoles

Xbox
Although the Microsoft Xbox usually shows a Green Screen of Death when a critical error occurs, this model was seen showing a BSoD during the presentation of Forza Motorsport at the CeBIT computer fair in Hannover in March 2005. Additionally the recalled Game Kakuto Chojin displays a BSoD as an error message when the disc is dirty.
PlayStation Portable
The PlayStation Portable shows a Blue Screen of Death The BSoD is encountered often when downgrading a Playstation Portable because of non-backward-compatible registry files. Under very rare conditions (usually as a result of firmware modifications), the system may be thrown into a loop in which the PSP will continue to restart and display the BSoD screen.
The PlayStation Portable also has a red screen of death which can appear when portions of the internal flash0:\ are corrupted or missing. This is usually more fatal than the blue screen of death as there is no option to repair the problem since the missing operating system, unlike the user settings, cannot be restored without booting the PSP in recovery mode and flashing the flash0:\.
Nintendo DS
The Nintendo DS will give a textless single-color on both screens<ref name="BSoD"/> when the user removes a DS card or GBA card while on the Pictochat room selection menu. The color of the screens is based on the DS firmware version -- version 6 firmware, found on most DS machines is blue, while the version 5 firmware, found on DS Lite consoles, is magenta. Some DS machines have green screens of death when the user removes a DS card or GBA cards while on the Pictochat room selection menu, and some have yellow screens of death. The Mario Kart edition of the DS shows an Yellow Screen of Death under those circumstances. While playing Animal Crossing: Wild World during wireless communication, should the wireless connection be disrupted, a light blue screen will appear featuring the character Mr. Resetti looking grim, along with a text stating that the game has been discontinued and that all unsaved progress of the game will be lost. Corrupted data on Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Pokémon Platinum will result in a blue error screen. It is also possible to reach a blue debug screen in Mario 64 DS. If the game freezes and a certain button combination is entered, the screen appears.
