    Hacking How to tell if your DX DSTT is a FAKE.

    I just had 2 delivered, but i think i may have got the CNDSTT cards. DSTT 8 is printed on the PCB, and the SD slot is on the left side when looking at the back of the card. However, the faketester shows them as TRUE. Does it look like i have got fakes

    Hacking Anyone purchased from "Team-Console"? [UK]

    @ oddieb Yes, i got the Acekard 2.1 the next day as promised. It works fine. Only one slight fault - one the plastic legs that hold the 2 sides together was missing - probably a manufacturing fault. Stuck a small blob of superglue on it and it works fine. Haven't tried moonshell or any...

    Hacking Trimming

    Must admit i found the length of the threads a little intimidating and was hoping someone would give a basic summary. I'm always wary of installing software that i don't know much about in case it messes up my system or adds spyware etc. Looks like i will have to bite the bullet since noone is...

    Hacking Trimming

    Hacking strange problem with saves

    Thanks Bri I don't think i have a clone. It was bought from Dealextreme - is there any chance that they have dodgy carts. So generally, are the sav files quite reliable on a good cart. my impatient 10 year old is getting a little perplexed that his many hours gaming are getting lost. Thanks

    Hacking Trimming

    Had my DSTT and Acekard for a few weeks now, and looking to go to the next step of Trimming. Have used the search facility and find many references to 2 utilities - ROMINATOR and NDSTOKYOTRIM. My question is what essentially is the difference between the two since i don't know which one i need...
