Really need some help here!! DS Lite

[zender]

Hello!
I'm a total noob in this forum, as well in Nintendo DS!

I've bought a Nintendo DS Lite yesterday, and I want to play homebrew games and stuff.

I've been reading the FAQ thats posted on this forum, but I'm still a bit confused.

If I buy this will I be able to play homebrew games?! If this isn't enough, what else do I need to buy?!

Please, be precise with the name, because I'll be looking for that in that URL store. I don't want to buy the wrong stuff!!!

Here are the links:

Please, help me out here!!! :)

By the way... this forum is excellent!! Keep up the great, great work! I'll sure be a regular visitor/poster here!!!




Cheers!

pass key 2 is better
once you buy the item.
go to the forum site and choose any homebrew, every homebrew has instructions to install them in the card
but you need a SD card memory as a memory to save anything. pass key is just a converter for the DS/GBA that the memory stick is plugged so the ds can read it
but for saety, get the first pass key only for ds, why?
the following:
It is compatible with most types of flash cards including M3, Neo , SC and G6 etc.

Hummm..

In that site ( http://discoazul.com ) can you search me what else do I need to run homebrew?!

[acn010]

its just a cartidge like DS card that you can put a flash card to save anything, the ds will read only files that is compatible, homebrews do the rest, you just put homebrew files in the flash card, put the flash card to the pass key, put the pass key to the DS lite, the ds lite will read

So, why do I need the Passcard (http://discoazul.com/product1900/product_info.html) ?! I just need the PassKey and the flashcard?



Take a look a this URL ( http://discoazul.com/product1494/product_info.html ) . Is this enough for me to play homebrew?! This pack has

M3 Perfect SD version inc. NDS PassKey 2

M3 Adapter is made for those who want to download freeware games, movies and music from a PC to a GBA(SP) and/or Nintendo DS. You can use your PC and normal Compact Flash Card Reader to transfer and convert you movie & music files to the Compact Flash Cards. Then, insert M3 Adapter with CF/SD Card into GBA(SP) or Nintendo DS, and the files will be available after boot up of the console.

Its features are just the same as any other MP3 Player on the market but also playing games and movies instead of playing music only.

One of the coolest features of an M3 Adapter is that you can directly run third party software on it – that includes emulators of the video game system.

• Compatible with all GBA games without any patching required and without any problem during gameplay. NDS games require patching.
• Excellent Save compatibility. It support all saves types with the RTC function.
• Capacity is very flexible and only depends on the card you use, which now are up to 4GBypte (32Gbit) on the market.
• GOLDEN FINGER (CHEAT Code ) employs the IPS system that prevails in the world, with more diverse and powerful distinctive functions than CHT. The unique Auto IPS feature completely prevents computer crash.
• With unique Super Real Time Save Function, easily operates and it can revive without limits.
• CF/SD card +Reader can be used as a U disk and it only needs drag here and there when the game is burning.
• Saves money: CF/SD card can also be used in digital camera and other products, and you can share your card as you need it without the need to buy a dedicated card for your NDS/GBA.
• Supports GBA Games, FC games, Emulator games, GBA Movies, E-book, Cartoon books, browse pictures, enjoy music and so on.
• Supports 4-key reboot to Rom menu function, and supports 4-key reboot beginning function.
• Very safe for your CF/SD card.

Passkey2 is included

CF/SD Card no included
you only need an CF/Scan Disk, this serves as a memory up to 1GB

So, I can buy this ( http://discoazul.com/product1494/product_info.html ) and all i need more is a CF or SD card plus a reader. Am I correct?! This way I can play homebrew, and DS roms from the net?!

I'm sorry if I am being too boring!!!! But I'm just pretty confused :/


Thanks mate!

[acn010]

lol, yup
and yes, i almost got confused too

[zender]

Thanks mate!!! ;)

But do you think that this is a good purchase?

[zender]

And... 512MB for the CF card is enough for how many games?!

[zender]

nevermind, i've ordered the SD version.

Thanks mate! :)

I think what you need to do, zender, is reread the FAQ stickied at the top of the forum. It answers EXACTLY what you need. http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=27418 Mazza is a good writer. If you're still confused, you can check out my guide, The Noobs Guide to DS Homebrew, at http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=27011
