Q&A

Q: Do Japanese games work on North American DS'?
A: Yes, they are region-free, however, if you choose to play multiplayer, they must be the same language.

Q: What is a flash / devkit
A: It's basically a copy of the DS and GBA cartridges and you can copy downloaded games onto them. Most of the GBA ones are just cartridges, while the DS devkits usually have expanded memory.

Q: I read that I also need a NoPass device with my flash kit, what do they do?
A: They basically trick the DS to load unsigned code from the GBA slot.

Q: I also heard that I could flash my DS? That would allow me to not need a NoPass device and save battery life.
A: Yes, it is called FlashMe, it's a firmware replacement that automatically boots up the flash kit. However, you need a NoPass device in order to flash it.

Q: How do I play on Nintendo WiFi?
A: You need to either have a wireless router or the Nintendo USB WiFi Adapter for the DS to connect to.

Q: Does WiFi work if I decide to buy a flash / devkit?
A: Yes, totally! However, some people have stated that you cannot host, but join.

Q: How can I watch movies?
A: You need a dev / flash kit in order to watch movies. Then you use a freeware program called Meteos to convert them. Alternatively, you can use MoonShell, in that case, you would have to convert your videos to DPG format. ( The only video format MoonShell can recognize.

Q: What is MoonShell?
A: It is like PogoShell for the GBA, a sort of operating system that allows you to listen to music, read text files, look at pictures, watch videos, etc.

Q: How can I watch movies? ( ALT )
A: You can buy an accessory called the GBA Movie Player and just stick in a memory card with the movie and watch them that way.

Q: Is there a brightness switch on the DS like the GBASP?
A: Sort of, but you have to access it from the main menu. The DS only has the option of on / off, while the DSL has 4 kinds of brightness.

Q: How backward compatible is the DS?
A: The DS can only run DS and Gameboy Advance games.

Q: What exactly is Pictochat?
A: It is an IM program built by Nintendo that lets you chat with other people within 100 feet of you.

Q: How many modes of multiplayer are there?
A: There are lots of multiplayer modes from being able to play with people right next to you to sharing one game between two people on two different DS'.

Q: What are the difference between back and frontlit screens?
A: Frontlit screens have the light in front of the screen, and vice versa. On frontlit screens, you can see the light if you hold it at a certain angle, however on the backlit ones, lighting is much more even and results in sharper graphics. The DS and 2nd Gen GBA / GBA:M have backlit screens, while the 1st Gen GBA:SP has a frontlit screen.

Q: Can I play older Gameboy games in multiplayer mode?
A: Nope

Q: Are some older GBA accessories compatible with the DS?
A: Sure, a car charger is one of them, but only for the older gen of the DS.

So I got my flash kit today, everything works wonders.

Damn, Mario Kart online is so killer!

Gotta find my code though, I'm gonna add you guys.

Fox, how'd ya find the code for Tetris DS?

EDIT: Added you guys and added my code.
Anyone know what the lock in friends roster mean?

[Sp3cial_K]

Im gonna get a DS lite soon, which place has the best deal on right now?

[Rhetorical]

some of your post is inaccurate:

Q: Is there a brightness switch on the DS like the GBASP?
A: Sort of, but you have to access it from the main menu, but for the DS Lite, I believe that there is a switch like the GBASP.
The DS Lite does not have a backlight "switch". There's a small "sun" logo on the bottom left hand side of the touchscreen at the main boot menu (the one where you choose DS mode, pictochat, download play, or GBA mode). Each click bumps you to one of 4 brightness settings.

Q: Is there a brightness switch on the DS like the GBASP?
A: Sort of, but you have to access it from the main menu, but for the DS Lite, I believe that there is a switch like the GBASP.
There were two versions of the GBASP. The first version was front-lit, and the second version (which came out around the same time as the GB Micro) was backlit.

Q: Are some older GBA accessories compatible with the DS?
A: Sure, a car charger is one of them
The charger for the GBASP and the NDSL are different. not sure about the DS phat, though.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Thanks! Updated! And car charger works on old DS :P

So yeah, I tried out New Super Mario Bros and Trauma Center, both are AMAZINGGGG!

[sputskee]

What's with the fad of DS Lite?

[Razor Ramon HG]

They're cooler and smaller I guess.

I think the old DS is more solid though and I bet it is.

best place Ive seen is walmart 147.99. But most places are sold out everywhere. Ive checked the vancouver/richmond FS stores, all sold out. Also checked some of the superstores and sold out as well.

[Rhetorical]

the ds phat is on sale at future shop for 140 with free brain age i think. i guess they really need to clear those out.

[Razor Ramon HG]

How long does it usually take you guys to find people in Mario Kart? It takes 2 minutes just to find 3 lousy people.

[Rhetorical]

^yeah, it can take a while sometimes

[vancouveray]

does anyone know where to buy them locally?
I checked Metrotown's Future Shop, Superstore, Electronic Boutique, and Toys R Us and there are all sold out.

I pre-ordered one at Brentwood's Electronic Boutique but I won't be getting it until the 2nd shipment arrives; the 1st shipment are already reserved for the people who pre-ordered them before me.

Some Zeller's also carry the NDS lite. I got mine there 3-4 weeks ago when everywhere else (FS, BB) was sold out

The cheapest place that has them for sale is Superstore. For some reason it's 139.99

Yeah, Opera is being ported to the DS.

But it requires an adapter and crap to be plugged in too. I believe the Japanese version is already released and they haven't got it working... yet.

EDIT: Working yet, I meant in a flash cart.

[Rhetorical]

yeah i think it's already released in japan. you can import it through lik-sang or whoever for ~$50usd, but the whole thing is in japanese.

the euro version is due in october, but no word on a north american release.

[Slif]

I'm dying to get a DS Lite, but I'm going to wait until they bring out other more appealing colours (hell at this point, I'd settle for aluminum...)

[Razor Ramon HG]

If you have any relatives in Europe or China, you could just get em to import it.

W2K told me last night that the next shipments of DS Lites won't be coming until late August.

[W2K]

I dont know, but seems to me that FS might have some at landsdowne from the in store availabaility checker on the website. But I think it might be whacko, cuz last time I tried to order pick up from there they said they didnt have any instock but it did say it was aivail at that store.

However, FS has right now 16 units avialble for buying online. Buy it now and you will probalby be able to get one next week.

[omgarmbar]

i got mine today at toys r us in lansdowne :D

[Razor Ramon HG]

I'm probably going to pick one up during Christmas when hopefully, it'll be 100 dollars, hehe.

no - when I say other colours - I MEAN other colours - they haven't released a colour that's remotely appealing to me yet

I imported the orange limited edition "Torchic" SP and the Famicom Micro so believe me, I'm up on importing

I'm going to be in Tokyo next March so hopefully I can find something... Pokemon Center here I come :D

and then when it's getting super old like the gbadvance sp, it's gonna be 99.

Holy smokes! Just found out there is a flash kit in the making called the DSLink.

It is the same size as a normal DS game, and takes MicroSD / Transflash cards.

Card inside DS Lite:

Loader menu:
http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/751/61012463bc737711b1c9elu0.gif

The developer said that the Castlevania intro had no slowdown at all using a KingMAX card, so I am expecting no slowdowns at all :D

Company site article: ( In Chinese )
http://www.yyjoy.com/yy/?p=1138

I might sell my EZ4Lite if reviews are great! ( Which I expect and most people are anticipating for. )

[Rhetorical]

^that'd be awesome.
because the current ones that are kind of like that (ninjapass, etc.) don't take any external memory cards

[Grandmaster TSE]

Originally posted by tupac

its pretty much the same

[Razor Ramon HG]

I flashed my DS with Flashme v7 Stealth.
I'm pretty sure I got a few more hours of batterylife than when I used a NoPass card.

[Rhetorical]

^i'm wondering how different are the ds phat and ndsl though, also considering htat older units are going to have poorer battery life in general and running a passme/nopass card just exacerbates that.

[Razor Ramon HG]

You can get a new battery pack from Nintendo in their Richmond Customer Service Office for like 15 bucks, lol

[sh0n]

Any of you tried to load homebrews on the NDS?

I have the m3 minisd adapter

I could get DSOrganize to work but BeUP (msn doesnt really work well for me)

Anyone have insight on this?

[eddoe]

How did you get DSOrganize to work? You just extracted the folder to the DS and just put the ROM into the mini without using the game manager, right?

[Razor Ramon HG]

I got BeUp to work by using the Chisem (sp?) Test .gba version.

Extract all 3 versions to your M3 and try loading all of them sh0n.

How's DSOrganize?

[sh0n]

eddoe: I extracted the files onto my harddrive first. If you are using the m3 sd or mini sd adapter load the DSorganize folder along with dsorganize.gba.nds (in the folder itself) onto your memory card

Bennyboy: DSOrganize is not bad, it turns your NDS into a PDA. Kinda cool if you like to organize your appointments, addresses, numbers, calendars, to do lists.

They also have some kind of irc and homebrew database in there. I haven't gotten it to work yet.

On a side note

For the BeUp, I tried the same version as you did benny but it has a problem connecting (I guess to my router). It tries to connect and just freezes on me (stylus keyboard especially).

Any fix on this? Could it be cause I have WEP enabled on my router?

I'm looking for more homebrews too. Name some if you guys have used and like it

[sh0n]

Don't think it matters which one you use for the homebrews, you'll need some sort of flashcart

But definitely the DS Lite FTW

I have WEP enabled, it automatically bypasses it cause it connects to your router by looking up your WiFi settings already stored.

If you get a connection error once you connect to the servers, keep retrying and it'll eventually work.

[andrew_77751]

the DS link looks nice, but i think i'll stay with the G 6 and passcard 3 combo .

[Razor Ramon HG]

I heard lots of bad things recently about the G6, mostly corrupt and broken G6s to saves randomly disappearing? :o I hope yours never has a problem.

[andrew_77751]

really>

woah. well i haven't gotten it from the mail yet so i'm not sure how it will be.

also , mines is gonna come with the 3 colored face plates instead of just the white one. so this is going to be the second batch G 6 .

If you have a DS Lite, it's a really big risk since you could mess up during flashing. You have to load up the flashing program, then bridge a part of the DS known as the SL1 with something metal. If you accidently hit the left side of the hole the SL1 is located in during flashing, you will brick your DS because it will turn it off during flashing. It's much easier since it's impossible to turn it off on a DS Phat.

Here's a good guide.
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=34158
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=33481

[andrew_77751]

i prefer a Ds No pass device instead.

it's safer :)

and plus , battery life won't be lost that much cuz the G6 lite consumes identically to a regular GBA cart. so it's just gonna depreciate a lil more with a no pass like passcard 3

[Razor Ramon HG]

If you have a DSL, it's probably safer, but if you have the old DS Phat, there's no way to brick it unless you turn off the DS.

[andrew_77751]

ohhh isee. .

did u go the risky way and do it on th dsl?

or maybe ur just PRO !!

[Razor Ramon HG]

Naw, I flashed the DS Phat because it was much easier, lol.

[Veilside Ryder]

i bricked my DS lite trying haha
but i had 1 on hold on EB since the Ds lite came out haha then i went yesterday to buy it. and i swapped the serial code haha

Probably not, you have a Lite and I don't wanna brick it, lol

[Razor Ramon HG]

http://opium.gbatemp.net/flashme/sl1vr.jpg

I don't mind giving it a go as I flashed my fat one, but I won't take any blame if I mess up :P

Basically, you have to short the bridge of the hole without touching the left side because that will turn off the DS. If it turns off during flashing, your DS is a happy 150 dollar brick. Why do we have to short the SL1? If we don't, we can't flash the firmware.

[Veilside Ryder]

screw the flashing lol. ill just leave it as is. lol i already bricked 1 ahha

[Razor Ramon HG]

Least you swapped it, LOL

Buy one from Wal-Mart, they dont even check it if you return it, they just give you another one, LOL

yeah, i really want to see how it sits inside a ndsl.

where did you get it from?

[Razor Ramon HG]

Attention everyone with a NDL, I can flash NDLs for some cash as I wanna upgrade to a NDL myself, LOL.

Should take around half an hour or less each, I only need the DSL.

If I brick it, I will pay for repairs.

No need to worry as I have the perfect tool to short the SL1 without touching the VR1 which will turn off the DS resulting in a brick if it's in the flashing process.

Why flash the DS? It saves battery life by 2-3 hours due to the fact that you don't need the Passcard / Superkey / EZPass inside the DS.

P.S. I'll also flash normal DS's even cheaper!

[Rhetorical]

brick warning :) j/k benny

[Razor Ramon HG]

I have fool-proof tool that won't short the VR1 so it won't brick :D

Will, how do you pull the MicroSD out?

Use your fingernails or tweezers? Do you actually really have to open up the damn thing? If so, I might go get a Supercard Lite as there's no slowdowns on anything especially the Castlevania intro!

i use twweezers

Nice! Did you do it yourself?

[Veilside Ryder]

yup.. my tool fits perfectly no wiggle needed haha.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Great man, I was worried you brick it again, lol

[Veilside Ryder]

Me too.. but this time haha i busted my other DS even more haha.. i broke the power swtich haha

so i guess i can return the DS no problem now haha they cant turn it on HAHAH

[Razor Ramon HG]

LOL, how'd you do that?

[Veilside Ryder]

This is a way to unbrick your DS Lite when u screw up a flashme..

[Veilside Ryder]

Does anyone have Mario Basketball? on ds??

[Rhetorical]

^it's out there (japan version), but as per forum rules, i don't think i can post a link

[sh0n]

Got Bennyboy to flash my DS lite.

So if anyone of you need your ds to be flashed get him to do it

[Razor Ramon HG]

Hope it's what you wanted.

I charge 20 for Lite, 10 for Phats

Should take less than 20 minutes like sh0n's.

What you get is:
1. Longer battery life since the NoPass doesn't need to redirect data
2. Autoloading flash cart menu, no need to click on the NoPass in main DS menu
3. Warranty is still there as I am going to be flashing with a stealth version.

[Jkanzaki]

i got a question say i have a m3 and my friend have a supercard.

we have both have the same rom, can both of us play multiplayer togethor ?

or perform the download play on one another ?

thanks

[Razor Ramon HG]

Some say yes, some say no. Best to try it yourself. Flashed DS' have no problem with download play if I remember correctly.

[candy_jai]

my friend code for mario kart

my 2 G 6 lites work well. only on games that need download play don't work. mario kart works flawlessly.

[Veilside Ryder]

anyone know how to solve the sleep problem on v7 firmware?

[Razor Ramon HG]

Stick a game inside the DS slot, I use Metroid Demo.

[Veilside Ryder]

then wahts the point in flashin v7 i can stick my passcard in there lol

[Razor Ramon HG]

It uses less battery since it doesn't have to read from the NoPass which redirects data.

[Rhetorical]

has anyone tried loading nes or snes roms on their carts? you have to convert it to a .gba right? benny?

cause i want to play old school mega man hhaa

[Razor Ramon HG]

SNES sucks unlike on the PSP ( aka the emulation king ). Get PocketNES.

[andrew_77751]

any good torrents sites? ;)

[eddoe]

I got a working one, but the reason is probably because you guys didn't update your firmware. Mario Hoops didn't work for M3 or Supercard when it first came out; however, the latest M3 firmware is fully compatable, and so should the latest Supercard.

[Dat]

anybody able to get the friend code working for mario kart? I can add a buddy, but it never locates him

i can get moonshell to work, but i can't seem to convert the videos properly :(

[Rhetorical]

thanks benny. moonshell is a-okay.

but now i got beup problems. it works at my place, but not at my gf's house. it's not the wifi connection, because i can play online with tetris ds, etc. no problem, but when i try to connect with beup, it's no go.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Try another version, other than that I have no idea.

[Rhetorical]

yeah, maybe i'll try nofat.

[Ch28]

Benny's DS Lite is so much brighter then the old DS.

[ienhz]

Going to get a DS Lite soon and planning to go for a Supercard Lite... is that a good choice or is there soemthing better that you guys would recommend? Oh and would you guys recommend flashing the DS Lite or getting a no pass device? Like... can the flashed firmware become outdated or anything?

I'm also getting a SC-Lite once I sell off my old EZ4.

[Razor Ramon HG]

I wrote a guide for watching movies and shows with Moonshell. It's linked in the original post.

[Rhetorical]

^thanks for the guide benny. i got moonshell up and running, and it's not so great for live video. it can be choppy sometimes, even freezing completely (the sound continues, but the video pauses). i find touching the touchscreen seems to help get the video going again. it's not the best (youtube-ish quality), but it gets the job done.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Yes, but for animation, I have actually got it running so smooth, without choppyness.

Perhaps the framerate or bitrates are too high on your clips. Did you switch dithering and gopskip to 0?

If you watch animation, I recommend opening up global.ini in the shell folder of Moonshell and setting AdaptiveDelayControl to 0, however some movies will be out of sync ( Family Guy and South Park doesn't, however )

I'm testing new settings with Final Fantasy VII Advent Children and That 70's Show. I'll post my results.

[kwanzor]

whats the newest m3 firmware? that works w/ mario 3 on 3

[andrew_77751]

the new final fantasy 3 can go on wi fi , and will release in a few months :)

lol... You're getting games for free. Charging it every 3 nights is not very painful.

[Rhetorical]

^what he said

[Razor Ramon HG]

Oh yeah Steve, make sure you don't use up all the battery juice.

If you do, it's considered a deep charge or something like that and it's bad for the battery.

Always save, turn off and charge, once you hit red battery.

[NJMR]

your client might be causing the problem? try reverting to a older client. Also maybe your internal battery for your rom is dead?

Damn, the new freedom fighters/ tenchu rom I downloaded isnt clean. Anyone got hookups for it??

I'll send em to you on MSN after, lol

trying to decide between the supercard or the G6 lite. any opinions??

the G6 should be able to store a good amount of games, correct?? any owners wanna provide feedback? crashing probs?
I think I can live without expandable memory.... but then again I would like some feedback :)

[Akord]

oh yeah so G6 or SuperCard?? that's whats on my mind now

but the SC groupbuy seems like a really good deal, might have to hop on that.

maybe I should secure a DS lite first

[Razor Ramon HG]

Supercard works perfectly even with a normal MicroSD, so that's a huge plus and expandable memory up to 2GB.

[Akord]

damnit its all ur posts on RS thats making me want a DS lite.
hmmm im almost sold

Originally posted by BennyBoy

[Razor Ramon HG]

G6 has perfect emulation, supposedly, but if you send stuff wrong, you could corrupt it.

It has 512MB of storage, good enough if you just want to play games, but Supercard has more bang for your buck IMO.

[mos_skeeto]

Would a 5mb rom take up 5mb on the card or is there some strange kinda expanding thing.

[Razor Ramon HG]

That's just for main GBA flash carts.

For the Supercard, EZ4, M3, it's in megabytes.

But for the G6, or internal flashbased ones, it's calculated in megabits. 1 megabyte = 8 megabits.

Since the majority of the G6s are in 4GBits. 4/8 = 0.5, or 512MBytes.

[Zantetsuken]

I was wondering the same thing :)

since most roms after < 10mb... a 1gb microsd would hold like 100 games?

[b0unce. [?]]

just got a bunch a games on my ds now..
i cant seem to find the movie converter.
can someone send the program to me?

or send it via msn

my email is in my sig

[Akord]

anyone got a list or know where I can get some games :D

i'll be sending some of u guys PM's

or here's my msn if someone wanna be nice and share

I could burn you a disc of my entire USA collection if you ever pass by my area. ( by Burnaby BCIT )

[mmmkay]

heh burn me one... tho i got most of the games i want already

+1 for supercard lite tho (microsd)
it fits flush except the white doesnt match, and the dimensions are off ever so slightly. i can take a pic if anyone is interested
and microsd is sooooo expensive!

[Akord]

benny, ill PM u once I receive my DS :)

mmmkay, i found a 1gig micro sd on newegg.com for 40 bucks

is that good or? anyone know better deals??

[mmmkay]

i bought mine at a-power for 59.

so it comes to about 66.

at current exchange rate that's ~45 dollars plus shipping (unless they ship free)

[Razor Ramon HG]

I'm buying my MicroSD 1GB Sandisk from this computer shop by E.36th for 49.

[mmmkay]

so far i have everything working as fast as my real games except the new japanese starfox.. not sure which settings i should try for it to get it working

[DC Sports]

You can buy a 2gb microSD from eBay for $115cdn shipped. That's enough room to fit about half of the US releases if you want that many on your card or load your favourite games and a few movies too.

[Grandmaster TSE]

i got all DS releases too
so anyone in the area can get a disc from me too (broadway & nanaimo)

[sh0n]

Any new games that are good?

Heard that the mario 3 on 3 and starfox is good

Any other titles?

[Rhetorical]

madden07 looks promising

[mmmkay]

So far i'm liking animal crossing too :D

Oh and supercard works with all the old school GB and GBC games too! I was playing Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening all over again!!
That was way cool :)

That's about it for games that are exciting..

Did you just open the ROMs with the clients or what?

I want to play through the Legend Of Zelda Oracle series :)

i just copied the .gb files over .. i think they were clean. I put them in a GB folder.

When the supercard boots up I just go to the game i want and start it up. I think it has the built in emulators and such. You could probably try something like gbongba or goomba

[Razor Ramon HG]

Cool, thanks. Does it save ?

ff6 advance is pretty much the same as the snes one i assume
with maybe a few added things like a boss or a secret dungeon after you beat the game just like ff4 advance

[andrew_77751]

my G 6 Lite is working flawlessly, for anyone of you that want one, it's recommended. I'll probably just keep this one, and if I ever want to upgrade, It'll probably be a card that only uses the DS cart slot, since that's the new Nintendo ds flash cart upgrade.

I'm aware -- but I never finished FF6 - my SNES copy has been sitting by my TV for the last 7 years crying for me to play it again... it's about 1/2 done at this point

this is why I love the GBA - I can freakin play the game wherever I want, whenever I want
