how much does the dslink cost?

[phantastic]

you still need to flash your ds??... gay
if this was cheap then maybe i will get it but if its expensive then i ratherer buy a m3 lite with gba support

you should go with an M3 Lite or SC Lite.

If this thing had a built-in passme functionality, it MIGHT be okay. But the fact that you need to flash your DS to get the most out of it is a seriously fatal flaw. I mean, if you've already flashed your DS, why do you really needs this? Is it really that much more useful and exciting to run code from the DS slot instead of the GBA slot?

The answer might be YES if the DSLink was a passme/flashcart combo card. That would be cool. But since it isn't, I find it incredibly underwhelming.

Not only that, but the Maxconsole review of the DSLink showed some serious incompatibility problems with homebrew and even some commercial NDS roms. They found the DS Link difficult to recommend.

Similar and vastly superior products will be here shortly. Don't waste your time and money on this one.

Wait, I thought there was no need to patch games? That all you had to do was drag+drop them on to the card?

As far as homebrew support goes its probley to early to say. It dependes if coders find it difficult to get there stuff running on it. I am pritty happy with my supercard though, patching stuff is'nt a real problem most of the time.

I still couldn't gather from the review if you can do GBA stuff from the DSLink. I know that they also make a GBALink flashcart for the GBA slot. If all I had was a DSLink and stuck a GBA rom on it would it run?
