Cause that doesn't help anymore with most Slot1 flashcarts !!!!!!!! (x2326)
Also I can imagine a lot of people don't wanting to risk bricking their ds just for download play and if you multiplay with three or more persons it doesn't help either if just one is flashed and one has a flashcart...
It doesn't. I have actually tried to see if it would and it does not. This is going from an R4 loaded on an unflashed unit to a flashed unit. The results are the same. Also the loading time even with the retail carts is ridiculous as I had one where I let it sit for 10 minutes and it never finished.
You must not have any friends, which is sad. I lived with a couple other people and most of us had DS, we had a blast thanks to download play. And when other friends would come over they'd have NDSs as well, let's just say... If you've never played 8 person Tetris... you're really missing something.
BTW, I've noticed that it won't trim releases it doesn't recognize properly sometimes. On the most current version I found that Puzzle Planet DS wasn't trimming properly and left behind a 188 byte file on my flash card instead. A couple older ones though did start to trim properly and I think it was due to the database update I got.
NDSTokyo Trim however was able to trim the new game successfully. Then again it can't seem to do zip files properly right now. I just had it do a bunch of them and it choked on file 13 with an out of memory error although it went through them fine when they were extracted out up front. I've got 2GB and it was no where near out of memory.
I have used Download Play on the road, but I never used it with flash cards. Can someone tell me which DS flash card has the best Download Play compatibility while being relatively affordable?
I use download play all the time, me and my family love to play download play games. Since right now we only have one flashcart, the cyclods evolution.
Omoikane1979,
the best flashcart for download play compatibility is the cyclods evolution for right now. Perhaps in the future the R4 or G6 Real will have better download play compatibility with future updates.
I can see why download play is difficult to achieve on a flashcart, but there are flashcarts out there that can sport almost perfect download play (G6 Real, CycloDS), so if it can be done, why not do it? It can be very handy in some situations and I think it is something flashcart makers should try to perfect.
I used to use it when I was on the bus. Me and my friends would get Mario Kart out and since there was six of us we went into download play since you cant play 8 in multicart.
2 years ago me and my friends would also give out demos on the games that could (Polarium, Meteos) since we didn't know about flashcarts at that time.
