looks good wragg but found a little mistake:
"...then download to your memcard and play on the PSP."
shit thats what i get for doing a page at 3 am :P
This guide made me even more confused..
I have files called "whatever.ds.gba" and "whatever.nds" (not .nds.gba, but i'm guessing that extra N is a typo in your guide..)
Only thing I need is the "whatever.ds.gba"? I rename it to "whatever.gba.nds"?
What for is the .nds file? Why is it included if I don't need it?
Do the homebrew apps make saves or temp files to the flash card? Is it better to have every app in its own folder or can I just have all .gba.nds files in same folder?
the .nds files dont work on the supercard just use the .nds.gba and rename to .gba.nds or they will boot in GBA mode if you dont (weird i know)
all the apps will have to be on the root as far as i know
how can you tell if your ds is not IQue DS or the Red DS?
if you have a regular store bought ds and it's not red coloured then you're fine.
when the WiFi connection comes up, will we be able to download the DS demos by the USB device?
I just bought a red mario kart DS. This topic is more than a month old, and I was wondering...Can the red DS run homebrew yet?
I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve just got the Mario Kart Pack and bought the Pass Key & M3 (CF version) and I can’t get the NDS to see the M3. I’ve been looking around and there’s talk about updated Firmware on the NDS. How do you check which Firmware you have and have I wasted my money buying a Pass Key?Quote:

how do you make a DS homebrew game?
Aaagh!! I just got a Mario Kart Red DS for X-mas and was hoping to play videos and gba backups on it. I'm not really interested in emulating NDS backups. Is there anything currently available that will work for me? If not, what are we waiting for - software update for existing devices, or new hardware?
gba backups work on it...
(wow that was a bump)
is it nessicary to use 1 GB SD Mem. Cards?
DO you have to do something with you nintendo ds before playing games from foreign countrys.
As most of you proabably know by now, the Mario Kart Red DS can play homebrew, I use the M3-Adapter and Passkey2 which is specifically designed for the new NDS hardware. It also works on the DS lite. Go to www.m3adapter.com to check it out. You can also purchase at Diveno.
is there a thread in this forum where i can ask about running my backed up nds roms? cant find a good guide on it :(
I've just got a DS from the U.S. I live in the UK though. I want to play movies and Homebrew Apps and games on it. But I haven't got a clue what to buy or where from, I've being looking at the Datel Media Player with a 4 gig harddrive but I don't really want to pay more money than I did for my DS.
Can someone suggest where the best place is to buy, and what to buy because all the sites I've being on look a little like they'd take my money and that'd be it, plus I don't really understand the difference between all these Flashcarts and passkeys etc.
Thank You!! :)
Ok here's a question. can i use this combined with the supercard adapter?
http://www.linker4u.com/pp/item_detail.asp?itemID={A35FC3E4-4488-48DE-8693-0BC30F47C463}
Which are faster, CF or SD cards?
is there a decent web browser for the ds that works in the same way as the opera browser that can be added to my flashcart?
also whats a good ds wifi chat app?
Ok, I have a USDM DS Lite. I'd like to play some backed up NES and SNES ROMs on it.
I also don't want a big clunky thing that sticks out of my DS (such as the M3).
Is this possible?
Also, I see that the standard way to do this is to buy a SuperPassKey, and then a card reader.
What does the SPK do, exactly? Do I need to use it once, or do i use it each time I want to run the emus?
does the MAX Media Dock from http://www.codejunkies.com work?
Answer Me Man!!!
ok i a newbie
so i have a dssupercard
a 1gb sd card
and m3 passcard( the new 1)
do i need any software oin my pc ? to run ds games on my ds ??
ta
Well for a start, you'd best mean homebrew games, I don't think that playing copied games is all that legal, I just got a supercard and am now waiting for my Datel Media Launcher thing, which (crossed fingers) will play homebrew apps and games..
But if you go to the supercard website www.supercard.cn then you should find the software on there.
Did that help?
homebrew games of course !!
copied games are bad for the industry
I Need An Answer Now!!! Can I Use The Max Media Dock Or What!?!?
I am in dire need of some help. I bought my Max Media Player the other day and so far it has been pretty awesome, but now I am terribly confused. I have downloaded quite a few games and applications onto my 4GB hard drive, some of the games/apps work fine, while others don't work at all. For the ones that don't work, I am just brought to a glitched screen where nothing happens. I very much want to utilize this device and I need some help. Thanks in advance.
Dictated but not read,

Hi Everyone :)
I've been looking at the site for a while now after my little sister bought me a ds lite for my birthday :)
Her boyfriend told me that it is possible to play DS backup's on these ??? I've read loads of your posts on here, but i'm a bit of a techno phone when it comes to stuff like this.
Can anyone help me out with the following questions, i'd be ever so grateful if you could.
1. I am not that worried about older gba games, mainly just want to play ds lite backups off the memory card. So I would just need something that plays these as if they normally running off a original card (Does that make sense, i think i've just confused myself, im so silly!!!)
2. I have seen some of the cards stick out of the bottom of the ds lite, are there any that don't do this ????
3. Do I need a pass key ?? if so do i need to leave it plugged in all the time when i am playing backups, or is there some sort of "Swap trick" (Hey look i'm picking up the lingo :) ) If I do need a passkey where does it plug into
4. Is there anyway of not using a passkey ???
5. Do I then need to buy a micro sd card, if so where does it plug into (I'm guessing the supercard right???)
6. Can anyone recomend me, from a-b in very basic terms what I need to buy and where I should buy it from (I'm in england!!!)
7. I just want the easiest way to do this (also the prettiest if possible, as in nothing sticking out kind of thing :) )
Thanks for looking at this and if you can help me out it would be great and really appreciated. Thanks guys.

i suggest you buy MAX Media Dock from www.codejunkies.com and then download Maximum Overload.
Extraction guide: after downloading the Maximum overload, simply just put it to the Root folder of the CF card.
my ds touchscreen has become uncaliberated over time and the calibration wont work. ive flashed my ds using flashme and i was wondering is there an update or something to resolve this?
HI I'm super new to Dsemulation world, i just got the Media player with 4gb and was reading on the website that you can play some emulation on here
I would like some help on how you can play SNES games on the DS. Thanks in advace.
HI! I AM SO NEWBIE but i want to know IF i was to get a brand new DS LITE right now, WHAT are the exact things i must get in order to get my dslite to run a homebrew game on a super card?? i read up on many things but there are so many things iam over confused now. could someone give me a simple list of what i need to get it running? supercard? SD CHIP? IS superPASS KEY AND SUPERPASS the same thing? different?? Do i need a linker?? whats a linker do? does it update my ds?? please give me a simple list of what i need in order to get everything working.
Hi, again with a newbie bit. I'm thinking about getting a DS Lite at some point. I may, instead, go for a GP2X due to its homebrew base, so I have a few homebrew-specific and general questions I'd like to ask. I'm not able to create a new topic in this forum, so I figured I'd post it here. I'd like to thank whoever replies in advance, and I hope I don't sound like a total moron:
Homebrew:
1. SD / CompactFlash cards. How much can the SuperCard DS Lite/Passcard 3 address? Can it use an entire 4GB SD/CF card? Is there any difference in recognition of different brands? Is it necessary to have the bootcart inserted to boot to homebrew, or is that only for (pirated) commercial NDS games?
2. How are multiple applications on the same card handled? Is there a menu system, or does there need to be a separate card per program?
3. What about a 4GB DS-X? Are they recommended (in total, they seem to cost less than purchasing an SD/CF card, reader/writer, and SuperCard)? EDIT: Apparently it's not 4GB, it's 4Gb, which makes it 512MB. Nevermind.
4. What media players are recommended? What formats do they support? .MP3 is OK, but .OGG, .AAC/.M4A, .WMA, etc would be nice. What about the video player? How well does that work? Is there a limit to the length of the video (assuming there is enough space on the card)? How well does the SWF player work?
5. Emulators. Is there an NES emulator to the point of, for example, full speed/sound with fair compatibility? Genesis? SNES? This is fairly important.
Generic:
6. Is there a North America release date on the web browser?
7. What is the Wi-Fi gaming / communication like? Is it generally stable?
8. Stupid question: Is it a bad idea to spray paint the casing with plastic paint? If not, is it generally non-harmful for the DS to place an adhesive printed overlay over the shell? I would like to personalize the DS rather than simply going with the shiny white look.
9. Does the DS Lite come with an AC adaptor? I've read that it isn't compatible with the GBA adaptor and that it's a problem for some.
10. Final question: DS or DS Lite? I've got large hands and found handling the DS with stylus-intensive games to be an act of futility and generally very awkward. Is the DS Lite, with the larger stylus, any better? Is the screen sharper as well as brighter? How about durability? Is it quite as durable as the DS was? Are the screens prone to scratching or loss of calibration?
Thanks for all the links, but, could someone please give me a link showing how to make ur DS homebrew and Bakcup ready? please.
hey guys and gals...
which of the supercard adapters (flash type) won't stick out of my nintendo ds lite, even with the flash card in it?
also.. is there anyone around Manchester with a superpasskey willing to do me a paid favour?
cheers guys
