    Hacking The ultimate 'DS Battery Test' thread in the world......

    Not to necro a three week old thread, but it's full of great information on batter lifetimes. I recently got a SC DSTWO to supplant my now old R4DS (a real one). Its battery life is definitely less, but not as long (to be expected with the CPU onboard). Since I seldom play on max brightness...

    Hacking Brand new R4 - Not booting in DS?

    So, I'm a total newb, but I've been reading about the R4/M3 for a while. I just got mine today from Gameyeeeah (got here quick!). I promptly popped my 2 GB Kingston MicroSD card into the adapter that came with it, and stuffed it in my laptop. I would have used the USB adapter from the R4, but...
