i hate it when they use the Gb thing.
and dsx costs too much.

The "16GB" in the subject header of this thread is quite misleading...

I don't have anything yet for my DS Lite as I am always busy with PSP homebrew. I think I'll be getting this though. I know its expensive but it seems to be the best all-in-one slot 1 solution.

Would I have to convert my ROMS in any way before loading onto this via USB?

I bought one of the original 512mb cards. It works, which is nice because I can't upgrade the OS. DSX pre-sold lots of cards by advertising the card was compatible with Linux and Mac in addition to Windows.

Six months after releasing the card, they still don't have an update package available for Linux or Mac. If you ask about, they get hostile and say it's "coming soon." That was their answer six months ago and that is their answer today.

Even for the folks with Windows, it hasn't been easy. Since the card is updateable, DSX said it would never be incompatible. This was their justification for the high price of the card. Well, when the first update came out DSX "forgot" to mention that it wouldn't really work unless you have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.

And now with the latest OS release, it apparently doesn't work well or at all with Vista. And again, instead of acknowledging the issue, DSX is playing "blame the user."

Like I said, my card works for me, but I'm not hardcore into the homebrew scene like some folks. I got it to load music apps. There are other solutions out there now other than the DS-X, especially if you have Windows.

Check out the DSX forums before you shell out any cash.

i bought the DS extreme and was disappointed with the storage on the card. I could only store about 8 games on there and games like elite beat agents are massive!

The price is also very expensive.

I gave mine to my sister and bought a M3 DS simply which is cheaper and has more storage.

but i do miss my lights on the card :(

I noticed the M3 DS takes microSD. There are now 4GB microSD cards as seen in this link:

Will the 4GB microSD cards work for the M3 DS?

i havent tried the 4gb micro sd. i have a 2gb and even that with the simply sd is cheaper than buyin the original ds extreme and also i feel that 2gb enough space to hold many applications.

does any1 know the price of this ds extreme (4gb)?

When i had the 512mb ds extreme it seemed to only support NDS files. When a game is saved it will create a SAV file for that game and be stored onto the card.

Diveno is a good place to get it as i saw it on there for around 70-80 pounds.

The actual size of the card is 2GB. the 16gb means 16giga BITS which works out to 2giga BYTES. So the card has a 2GB storage because the old one confused people into thinking it was 4GB when it meant 4giga bits which worked out to 512mb :D

2 gigs? meh

[b_simpson1999]

somebody told me a .sav file was for configaration of the file or settings but i thought it was a save file so i was right lol

[spik3yb0i]

if you mean is the card 2gb then yes it is
