DS question

Misticles

a friend in work told me i can get a "thing" that has a usb connection on it and i can download games from the net and play them on my ds. he says this "thing" is like a game cartridge wit a usb port on it so it connects to the pc..
anybody shed some light on this thanks

It could be the ds extreme, lovely piece of kit, there have been a few threads about it on boards. I think any sort of passme device would work just aswell, but for hassle free playing of homebrew, the extreme is pretty damned good.

Misticles

can this be bought for th ds?

Check out an item called "Supercard" I think thats what you are referring to. Its available on www.hopebuy.com i think!!

There's also the M3 player which uses a CF/SD/MiniSD/MicroSD (depending on the version) compatible cartridge in the GBA slot combined with a PassMe-type card in the DS slot to load GBA/DS roms (as well as movies and music) - you'd need a card reader to get the files on to the SD/CF card though. That said, apparantly it's not quite as good for homebrew compatibility and playing ROMs of commercial games you don't own is just plain wrong - Just Say No! You can get them from www.gamefreax.de but don't hold your breath as delivery times on this device are measured on glacial scales due to supply issues and their customer service makes Thai narcotics sentencing seem fair, friendly and responsive to your inquiries.

If ya do decide to go for the supercard get it from the supercardstore.com. Excellent customer service and i got mine in 5 days!

Yes it can be done. I have it set up and use it for homebrew apps. In theory you can play ROMS on it. But if that is the case you should only do so if you own the original game.

Thanks Jesus!
Does this seem like much better value for money (since i already have a microSD card)

seems to do the same, afaics, but $50 before delivery.

Any opinions lads?

Well, If you must have a slot 1 card and you already have a microsd, maybe this: R4. Its pretty much Identical to the M3 simply in every way but its cheaper .
