This guide was written on the 17th of October, by Costello for GBAtemp.net.
IT IS NOT UP TO DATE - WILL BE UPDATED SOON
Please stop asking us to include other slot-1 solutions in the chart. We will do it, you don't have to ask. It's just a matter of time wink.gif

Note: We do not yet have a Microninja unit but we thought it might still be worth including it in the chart and mentionning its announced features.

Wow, cool chart. But DS-X is 116$

Edit: Sorry, that would be in euros. The price is ok in dollars. What a big difference

Edit2: It seems the 103$ price is wrong

Great chart Costello!

Only problem I noticed was the save file size/type for the DS-Link.
It has 520 KB .sav files.

I have just checked my DSLink, most saves are indeed 520 kbytes but some of them are still 256 smile.gif
thanks for noticing that!

edit: ok it is updated. you need to refresh the frame (right click on the chart itself then "refresh this frame")

Shouldn't the AceKard be compatable with all OSs?

Dang, that site you mentioned for the DS-X is all sold out too, looks like I'm out of luck, the price to pay for not believing in the DS-X.

No we don't know that for sure yet.
It might require a patching software just like the DSLink.

Indeed a good chart to refer to when deciding on a good 1-slot solution.
Seems that DS-X definitely has a lot going for it. I might get it even if it has only 512 MBs of space ;]

EDIT: Would it be fair for me to assume that the DS-X will support more formats besides MP3, and OGG in future OS updates?

I have to ask...

Does the fact you put "nearly perfect" for DS-X homebrew mean you've actually tested it with all of the big homebrew programs out there now?

And is it fair to say stuff like "Frequent Updates" when it hasn't even come out yet?

Lastly, NinjaDS has built in WiFi FTP? Does that mean FTP into your flash card and upload files? That'd be great!

Thanks for the chart!


P.S. Splash screens = :'(

That's right. If you check our NinjaDS review you'll see we covered that. wink.gif

I'll correct the chart tomorrow but it was written *before* we found out about Pokémon diamond not working on the DS-X (hence the dsx compatibility is said to be "perfect" while it should be "nearly perfect")
"Frequent updates" for the DSX means they release firmwares frequently. They have already sent us one firmware update because our cart was shipped with firmware 1.0.0, so they got us v1.0.1 (which is included in all retail carts).

About homebrew on DS-X, yes we have! Read our DS-Xtreme review wink.gif

I actually remember reading it a while ago, but that particular feature sounds so nice I just had to reiterate!
