thanks

R4s and M3s seem to be the most popular of all the mods.

R4 is better than M3 because it gets more frequent firmware updates.

Speaking of which, what's the latest firmware version for the R4?

i gotta r4, its good, just doesnt load sometime, doesnt read the slot 1 thing, so i take it out, jam the microSD in a bit, drop onto a hard surface from 15cm above, do that few times, then works again.
Oh, and it freezes sometimes, like about 8 times since ive had it (got it 5 months ago) and my castlevania DoS save got corrupted and deleted, that pissed me off.

Apart from that, its ok. I dont use it for music or movies tho, only ds games. My battery's shit enough as it is..

I've got a TTDS/DSTT which is similar to the R4.

Probably the cheapest of the DS cartridges. Got mine from a shop next door.

Get one cause you wont regret it and you can d/l whatever games you want.

Something to take note of is that the DSi is incompatible with current homebrew mods: http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/10/31/dsi-rejects-current-homebrew-flashcarts/

I doubt I'll get a DSi for a while and the current flash carts are so cheap you have nothing to lose, but still, worth mentioning.

that's the same fucking problem i get.

i sit there re-inserting the card all the time and blowing on the contacts. Takes ages sometimes.

I said to them "Hi,
i want to buy a new Nintendo ds soon, and i want to get a cartridge for
it.The problem is some people are telling me that the new Nintendo Ds at the
shops now wont work with the mod cartridges, do you know anything about
that, whether it's true or not?"




They said
"They are referring to the nintendo DSI --- which was rlsd overseas a couple of days ago
that wont hit australia for months"

 

[jumb]

Yep, the old ds and the ds lite both work, but the DSi won't work with any of them.
