    Hacking quick question about DSi XL and flash cart

    Got hold of a 3DS and other than the fact that it can play the newer games I see no real advantage to it over the DSi series. Yes, it has some nice technical features but overall I would say the DSi or DSL to be a better choice if you are going to be playing DS games. The DSTWO is an awesome...

    Hacking I know this is some what stupid but

    I didn't know that about the game telling the DS to ignore certain buttons. Tried the soft reset - didn't work - assumed it was a bug and kept using the power button for a reset. Armed with your new information, it works just fine. Thanks for the info, Rydian! (And for your "somewhat stupid"...

    Hacking Which website (store) has it?

    Sad to see the AceKard going away. That was my favorite card for many years. Easy to use, inexpensive, and reliable.

    Hardware Supercard DSTWO problem on 3DS XL

    Is your case actually brown as depicted in the above photo? My DSTwo has a black case and others that I have purchased for friends also have black cases. Are you sure you a genuine DSTwo flashcart? Do other flashcarts work in your 3DS XL? Does your DSTwo work in other DS systems? You may...

    Is this correct? (numbers)

    Just think of how difficult it is to learn English as a second language. The confusing contradictions and exceptions to the "rules". A tip of my hat to anyone who is multilingual and includes English.

    Hardware The 3DS 3D screen looks bad in 2D

    You know everyone's eyes are slightly different a we each perceive things just a little bit differently. Some may not notice a difference in the different modes while others percieve a significant change. Look at the differences in the amount of 3D effect being the preferred amount by different...

    Gaming "Soft" part on touch screen?

    Some screen protectors are designed to be removed after they have served their usefulness while others are intended to be permanent. Sounds like you may have caused some separation in the touch screen itself, but they are fairly inexpensive and relatively easy to replace. However, if your screen...

    Hardware Value Deluxe legit?

    We will be waiting for your report. The situation with stores that sell flashcarts appears very unstable at the moment. All of my regular sources have apparently gone offline. I placed a couple of orders from PocketDS and while I got everthing I ordered, their site was up and then down many...

    Bejeweled3 in Zen mode with sound off - early Pink Floyd on stereo w/ headphones for better separation and not to bother others Peggle can also be kind of fun following the bouncing ball.

    Gaming Any reason I shouldn't upgrade from phat to lite?

    Aside from the obvious that it is difficult to find an old used Phat in decent condition nowadays, and the fact that it is also difficult to find a new Lite available anywhere anymore, there is absolutely no reason not to upgrade from your old broken Phat to a Lite. Brighter is better, period...

    A super computer for everyone!

    I find that over time one tends to find was to utilize available computer resources. Increased stability and interconnectivity allows one to have many more programs running in the background utilizing the capabilities of your system to benefit you. Having email, fax, weather gadgets, real time...

    A super computer for everyone!

    I can see many uses for this technology. Next generation of protable hand-held gaming devices? The basis for the next iteration of the K101 Revo with enhanced emulation? Actually, I am not overly impressed with the specs of a dual-core ARM9 for the processor. How exactly is this functionally...

    Hacking What is the BEST flash cart for 3DS?

    The Acekard2i has served me well for many years on many different models. (DSL/DSi/DSiXL.3DS) However, this latest flashcard block had me worried enough to get a Supercard DS TWO. It is more complex than the Acekard 2i to setup and has a significant higher battery drain than the Acekard (due to...

    Hacking 4.4.0-10 update and Acekard2i

    The Acekard team have historically been rapid to respond with a patch when a new Nintendo update blocks their flashcart. However, you can only do so much with software, and with the advent of 4.40-10 this latest update may require additional hardware for many flashcarts to remain functional...

    DS #5886: Gardenscapes (Europe)

    Actually, this is not a bad game and well-done for a hidden object game. If you enjoyed :"Yard Sale - Hidden Treasures Sunnyville" you should enjoy this. A minor annoyance is that even playing in the relaxed mode you still have time constraints for getting the max value out of the objects you...
