Hacking 1GB G6 Lite

[Tir]

Any new info on it? Usually cards are released not long after they're announced so how far off would it be? It's the cart I'm hanging out for and I want a DS Lite now damnit.

You´re asking for a flashcard that doesn´t exist, to use on a DS Lite that you don´t own yet?

Also, you´ll break some hearts

The title of the thread should be:

Nothing new, sorry.

The 8 gigabit/1 gigabyte G6 Lite does exist as it was announced on yyjoy.

Heres the topic: Click me

QUOTE(FifthE1ement @ Oct 14 2006, 08:59 AM)Just announced: This new model “G6 Lite XXX” is the G6 Lite 8G and G6 Lite Pro!

The "G6 Lite Pro" will be the current G6 Lite 4G with the GBA functions removed and will be a bit cheaper then the current model. It should be released in about 2 weeks and cost aprox $65.

The "G6 Lite 8G" that’s 8Gbit (1GB) of data space, which is twice the size of the previous G6 Lite 4G (512MB), should be released in about a month and cost aprox $80! Rejoice G6 space haters as this one will knock your socks off with near perfect GBA and DS support with 1 GB of storage space!

There is no news on what the current G6 Lite 4G's pricing will change to as of yet.

I missed that "should be released in about a month" bit, so hopefully only a couple weeks off? Guess I can wait.

Dammit, used 100 bucks for a four gig g6 and now they make one twice the size for twenty bucks less? Suckage.

 

[Coru]

Yep, that's life. Sucks, eh?

Ahh, noo. I'm adding to Canadian stereotypes.

$80-ish for a 1GB G6 ... I might actually buy that. You know 2 weeks after its out there'll be an officialt announcement about all the new Slot1's though.

thank you fo ryour opinion. Also, I would appreciate it if in the future you refrain from using the term, "jap."

True, but I'm not really bothered by them since I need GBA support on the card I get. This news of the 1GB G6 came just in time, I was so close to buying a SC, nice I won't have to fuss over getting the right micro sd card for this, or worry about battery life.

sorry to do the mini-quote-chain, but if this is what youre worried about with the SC, you worry too much. Choice of microSD with the SCLite isn't an issue like it used to be with other versions. I've got a black SCLite with the Sandisk 1GB UltraII, and then got a standard Sandisk 1GB ... and I haven't seen a difference yet. Neither are PERFECT ... the Castlevania video still has a few seconds in it where the audio is mildly distorted, for instance, but the video framerate's fine and that goes for both the UltraII and the regular.

As for battery life ... I've never bothered to test because my DSLite usually goes on the charger every night anyway. I've never managed to play enough in one day to kick it over to red, and that includes 3 of us in the house who each have their own Animal Crossing game going. I have seen it go red on day 2 if not charged overnight though.

But like I said above, I might get the G6 too anyway. Once the NDS's lifecycle is coming to a close and the next great thing comes along, you'll be glad for having NDS devkit overkill in your dresser drawer. There's a thread in another section where someone's having trouble finding a true GBA flashcart.
