Games n' Music Compatibility

**Rebrek** · November 30th, 2007, 01:02

I bought my Games n' Music card with no knowledge of homebrew for the DS at all. The second I learned of the stuff I loved it, though. I've been prowling for homebrew for a while now and I am in need of a bigger card. I have searched around the forums for about an hour now and I haven't found a topic like this one. So I would like to ask, does anyone have a 1 gig micro sd card working for their GnM? I want to buy one, but I want to get a cheap one off the internet. I knnow this will be the best place to ask.

Well I tried it before i got my R4 and it seemed it didn't want to take a 1GB microSD, even when is formated as FAT. But that was a while back so Idk if there is like a patch or something.

Well, I bought a cheap PQI 1 gigabyte card. I popped it in my computer and reformatted it as FAT32 like the original card. I put my files on it and it works with no problems.

Ok, so I have another question. Sorry about the double post, but I didn't see a reason to make a new topic. I'm considering on buying the E Z Flash 3 in 1 and I want to clarify if it will run gameboy advance homebrew. I know that the rumble will be fine and I most likely won't use the RAM that much. I have a pretty good understanding of what I would be getting, but I want to be 100% SURE that it will work with Games and Music. So, has anyone used this with Gnm? The only reason I care to ask is because of all the negative remarks I have seen about the product around here.

Ok, this is a triple post and you guys have been no help at all. I'm glad to say that everything is working fine and the EZ Flash 3 in 1 has very high compatibility. So are there any homebrews that currently use the rumble feature?

OK I'll answer a few questions about the Games n Music, since it's a very underrated card for whats now only 20 dollars at Wal-Mart.

It now has DLDI compatibility so most homebrew can be patched to run on the Datel card.

I have a 2 gig Sandisk MicroSD card in it that is running fine, formatted in FAT32.

It WILL NOT play commercial games, however, the commercial demos can be patched to work. Install DSOrganizer and it's even easier, as the download manager in DSOrganizer has the demos on the server, just click on what you want and it downloads the demo. Than just launch it.

Most of the games it comes with are extremely basic, even the ones hosted on the Games n Music Datel minisite. Still enjoyable. I reccommend patching other homebrew though. Ghostbusters is a great flashback I've been having fun with. Doom and Quake run off of it as well. There's a few instructional vids on Youtube also.

So yea, if you already have a flashcard, not really worth it. But if you happen to be in WalMart and its sitting there for 20 bucks, why not? It's great either as a first time homebrewer making his first baby steps or as a second card for strictly certain types of homebrew, than keep your R4 or M3 for other homebrew.

At launch price of 40 bucks not worth it at all. But the new 20 dollar price is worth the price of admission.

I've been wanting to get into homebrew for awhile now and finnally had a chance to get the GNM for ds. I still have an original ds and wondered if you would be willing to spend the time to show me how to begin hombrewing ds games and what is most compatible with gnm. In turn i'll try stuff out with my copy if your not able to get round'to'it with yours send me an email at
