DS-Xtreme 4 Gbit in hand!

[flai]

Ok, some ROMS don't work but all the ones that matter do. It doesn't matter how good that cart is, it will always have problems. Hell, I have a 64mbit (8MB) cart for my old Game Boy Color and the sprites are all messed up in Pokemon Red and Blue and the menu in Super Mario The 6 Golden Coins is all messed up too. Its impossible to be perfect but the M3 and the G6 are damn well near it.

No bugs yet!

This thing looks almost perfect. I really don't see any cons about it.

i agree, the ds-xtreme sounds great. pre-ordered mine a lil over a month ago. cant wait to get it and try it out, if it works well, i'll get another ds and another ds-xtreme for my daughter

apart from the fact that it only has 512MB of unexpandable memory?

 

[kevinbarron1132]

Boohoo.

So what if I can only fit 7 or 8 games on it. The ease of use is the ticket for me.

People honestly have to stop bashing the 512MB size; 512MB might not be right for you, but perfect for others.

I suppose but I'd rather get something that I can expand. When I get an M3 Lite, I will get a 1GB Micro-SD but I may get a 2GB come Christmas time, then I can fit my whole games collection on it.

Even though 512 will be enough for me, everyone has different expectations. You should know that.

I currently use a 32MB GBA Flash cart and can maybe squeeze around four games on it. It takes around 15 minutes to flash the darn thing so its pretty annoying. However with the DS-X with is USB port, swapping files should be no hassle at all! Woot 512MB + USB FTW!

ZOMG the LEDS are so supa sexy!!!

Good impressions so far huh...I might consider one, but maybe after a price drop..(124 CDN..yikes)

I can't see a single damn thing wrong with that price. I paid more than that for a 256mbit GBA flash cart a couple years ago. Hell I paid almost that much for my M3 SD + Passkey 2.

I know where you're coming at, internal memory flashcarts have always been around that price, and trust me, I'm on the brink of buying it, if I just had more extra cash afterwards. Used up quite a bit at the snowboarding show that just passed this weekend in Toronto, so I'm kinda low on cash.

As soon as I get some more cash, I'll be spending it on the DS-Xtreme..

After read the review, I am drooling already. It is going to be my first time to buy but I have a question. Do I have to drag and drop update firmware into this before I drag and drop cleanroms or just drag and drop cleanroms into it and you are ready to play ? Thanks.

 

[tabs]

Everything looks perfect, except for the price. Or atleast, upgrade to 1GB or more.

 

[mikehammerX9]

No GBA support on a slot-1 flashcards. :'(

 

[KeYbLaDeXaLcHeMi]

so do expansions/add-ons work w/ DS-X?

It seems this product works much like an USB pendrive in terms of PC connectivity: copy and paste files into the DS-X and you're ready to go, the firmware does the rest. I guess firmware updates will come in the form of an executable which will recognize the drive and will update its firmware, but of course I'm not sure.

 

[spotanjo3]

Really ? I need more information to see if I need the firmware to drag and drop into this to run the cleanroms or something.

No, you don't. I mean: you simply connect the DS-X to your PC via the provided USB cable. Then it will appear in "My PC" or "Windows Explorer" or whatever you use to browse your computer like and additional drive i.e D:. Then you simply copy and paste your clean .nds (no .zip support) to the DS-X, you can even create directories in it for personal sorting purposes. Finally you insert the DS-X into the console and turn it on. The DS-X has its own firmware. This is not related to flashme or something like that. You don't have to mess with it. It does its job when you turn on the console and doesn't affect your console firmware (which can be the original).

By the way are you the same Rockmangames at emutalk? I'm "imu"

Awesome, then I have to buy it! Thanks!

What does that mean ?

Yes, I am the same Rockmangames at emutalk. Why ?
