Nintendo DS Homebrew FAQ/Guide

**zillion94** · October 3rd, 2007, 02:31

Ok, I am sooo confused with homebrew on the DS. I am fine on the Wii but I just bought a DS and I have a pending order for a DS-Extreme 2 Gig that I am tired of waiting on... DCEMU just listed new devices today and I want to know which one is the best all in one simple solutions so I can run/play emulators on my DS. I still have time to cancel my order (and not pay $130) for the DS-Extreme if another one at a fraction of the price does the same. I'd like great storage capacity but wonder if getting one with Micro SD support is better for upgrading (I have multiple Sd cards for my Wii and can use the same cards) instead of the slow erasing process of swapping files on one 2 gig capacity.

So, is there a definitive review or general consensus on the best method? Supercard's new one from Diveno? Ds linker? Or should I just keep my order on the DS-Extreme?

I want a slot-1 card for my DS to play DS ROMS AND GBA ROMS. Which peripheral would you recommend? I am not too bothered about the music or video players as long as they have the best ROM compatibility for both DS and GBA...

Thats at the moment impossible, they haven't quiet figured out how to run GBA code from DS slots yet really.

i am thinking of buying a nintendo ds lite. Can anyone help me to mod it to play homebrew and stuff? I am very capable at modding psp's (done many before) but the DS seems a bit more confusing - something about a passkey 3?

Thanks for the help

If you're looking for a great UK supplier of R4DS and DSTT cards, go to www.r4revolution.co.uk

I bought an R4DS from them and i received it after 2 days. Just thought i'd share this with all my fellow gamers.
