Kay.. im thinking on getting a DS! :)

**xg917** · August 14th, 2007, 04:17

i noticed that there are a lot of kool games for the ds. yes i am a psp owner and proud of if but i wish to share love to both my nintendo games and sony games

now. . .

first im thinking on going to walmart to buy a DS lite and buying a kool game for it.

would that be the right choice? also what game should i get?

next, im thinking on getting a flash cart or something so i can use homebrew and play back ups and other kool stuff.

what is the best cart to get in your opinion and why? can you send me a link to it?

lastly, i am running on Mac OS X. would this be a problem for me and my DS? i have a windows xp laptop as well but its not mine. but i can use it sometimes.

thanx in advance

Get New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS, both extremely good games.

I have a flash card for my DS Lite; a M3 SD version. Sure it sticks out, but it works great and is very easy to use. There have been many new flash cards released since I bought my card, so a different one might be better and cheaper.

I'm not completely sure, but I think you can use DS flash card software on a Mac. But you could always use your XP laptop.

oo so theres software to it.. its not as easy as drag and drop like psp's memory stick? o well. the game im definately looking at is new super mario bros. mario kart DS doesnt appeal to me as much.

where can i find flash cards? i want to check out how much memory and other specs it has

You could try out an r4, its a good slot1 device too. Its easy drag and drop, plus you just need a microSD and youre good. http://www.r4ds.com/index-en.htm

mario kart DS looks like a small n64 copy but its not trust me its a great game if you get a DS (witch you should

) buy New super mario bros, mario kart DS and pokemon Diamond/Pearl.

I agree with the other posts on Mario and Mario Kart. Being as your also a fan of Sony, you would prolly enjoy FFIII. Sonic Rush, albeit short is a fun game too.

Dont get mario cart i didnt like it at all. Also whatever you do, do not go for the cheapest flash card. I bought the DS-linker, and its a peice of s**t ! it always gets f**ked up and screws me around, iv heard the R4 is the best choice if you can find anybody who has them. and the R4 is just drag and drop.

**xg917** · August 14th, 2007, 19:41

yea i heard R4 and M3 Simply are the best flash cards out there. R4 seems to be my top choice at the moment.

thanx everyone and thanx ::Xraxa, plz:. for linking me the R4ds website

Your PSP has a GBA slot

.

Seriously though, it should be insert and play. I have a Supercard CF, and the only flashing I have to do is to the Supercard it's self (when a new firmware comes out).

Slot-1 one carts and slicker and easier to use, but they totally lack usage for GBA games and homebrew.

Slot-2 carts are better in my opinion, because they support GBA... And because some of them have extra ram that coders are begining to tap into.

Supercard comes with NES, PC-Engine, Gameboy and Sega Master System emulators built in if that's a selling point for you (though they're pretty outdated and run in GBA mode). Just drag the games to your card and play :thumbup:.
