Just transfered back to DS, Have some FAQ Gaps

[Cross]

Ok I have come back to the DS after being bored with my PSP. I would like to know the differences and catch up on whats happened since I have been gone so I will be reading a while. However I have noticed a few things so I want to ask a few questions for clarification:

A) It seems there is more then one way to run DS Homebrew and the FAQ up did not give me the info I was looking for. It seems you can run it through either the GBA or DS Game slots. I am not 100% sure on this so some clarification would be nice.


B) I noticed there are two DS's that are said not to run Homebrew. IQue I believe it was and a Red DS I am sure I am ok on the Red color but the IQue I am not sure of. So a way to tell would be nice. Thanks. (Unless I do not have to worry about this)

C) Back to the different methods of HB. I noticed that the FAQ ref.'s the the method you choose. Implying more then one but I did not see any detail on what ways there are. So in link with above which is the pref'd and most useable method in the sense of future ability. I would assume the DS side but then I could be completely wrong and need both.

D) Which method do many of you use? And what would you recommend?


Thanks and again I checked through the FAQ but could have missed something (Many do it) But I would like to start somewhere and this is the best way I felt ^-^

the method i use:

got a regular gba flashcard
bought a super passme

-put ds homebrew on the gba flashcard using the software that came with it.
-put an official ds game in the passme device.
-plug both the gba cart and the passme device into the ds
-switch on.

works fine for me.
as for emulators wait and see, i can't see an n64 emulator with any kind of compatibility or speed coming any time soon. let developers get used to the hardware first.
