you have to buy extra ram...? rofl i never knew you could do that for ds. how much is it for this slot 2 ram? and what would be the best brand? (so you can overclock it?) this looks really awesome, and i wanna c if it worth the money for the ram. btw, does this ram help out for other games as well? make em run slightly faster, or no?

You should be able to use the fastest setting. When the game starts up choose the third speed option, 'Slow'. Enjoy the better load times and frame rates!

Awesome! This is excellent work Simon. Thank you!

jhhoward, I have a Supercard Lite and have this problem with about 50% of the homebrew I play that requires a DLDI patch. My solution in these cases is simply not to apply the DLDI patch. Everything usually works fine, and this was no exception.

I have the 3in1 and I can run Quake2DS on all three speeds (slow, slower, and slowest) without overclocking.

But does that tool (memtestARM) work okay? Could I safely use it?

I use the EZFlash 3in1. You can get it here for $19.04 with free shipping:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1894

It also has Rumble and the ability to store a GBA game. It comes from China so it'll take a couple weeks to come unless you pay extra for shipping. They also sell a black one if you have a black DS. Some other homebrew apps and games use it but it depends on if the programmer added support for it.

You don't need to configure anything. It works automatically. I do recommend downloading this utility to put on your flash card:
http://www009.upp.so-net.ne.jp/rudol.../3in1_ExpPack/

It allows you to put GBA games on the 3in1, change the rumble level, and turn the RAM on and off.
