Homebrew Are there CFW's strictly for nds ?

[ThatGamingAirman]

I've always wonder if there are any if so how do you do it

 

[samcambolt270]

as far as i know, theres no such thing as a ds cfw. you can use a flash cart pretty easily though.

 

[ThatGamingAirman]

thx how much are those

thx how much are those

you can get one pretty cheap, probably around 40 bucks. I don't believe im allowed to mention specific brands or stores, so i'll just say to google a list of ds flash carts and try to get the one that has "super" in the the name. (I hope that's vague enough to be within rules)

 

[ThatGamingAirman]

why super if you don't mind me asking

 

[samcambolt270]

why super if you don't mind me asking

because, in my opinion at least, its the easiest to use and the most user friendly. EDIT: btw, i am referring to the regular model not the "plus" model. I have no experience with the plus.

Isnt it ok for the rules to mention a flashcarts name? I see people always reccomending r4 3ds and other ds flash carts all the time.

I wasnt sure. I was probably being overcareful.

not at all sorry. Im not as experienced with 3ds flashcarts.

 

[ThatGamingAirman]

k when I googled nds flash cards r4 kept popping up

 

[Zense]

Recommending flashcarts by name is okay. I'd say get either Acekard 2i, Supercard dsTwo or get a good r4 3ds card (there are many crippled down versions of them. Don't own one so that's all I can tell you).

 

[ThatGamingAirman]

sweet thx, anybody familiar with 3ds powersaves have 2 threads about it if you can help thx been trying to fix it

There are actually cfw for nds. You could even change the firmware with a fully different one and such go look em up. FlashME, fwnitro, etc.

 

[Technicmaster0]

Tho the CFWs for DS won't allow you to play ROMs etc. without a flashcard (there's wifime but that's meh).
The two suggested DS flashcards are either R4i Gold 3DS Plus for 20$ (people will suggest the R4i Gold 3DS RTS which is the same with a feature less for the same price and it's sold out anyways) or the Supercard DSTWO (plus) for 40-50$. But the DSTWO seems to be out of stock at most places, too.

Well, there's FlashMe. I'd say that counts since it's a version of the DS's firmware with an added feature or two. It's function is made irrelevant by flash carts though for the most part. FlashMe is from back in the day when NDS flash carts didn't exist and you had to load homebrew from GBA flashcarts.

40 BUCKS?! You can get one for 7 dollars, stop promoting the SuperCard DS. Only the Plus model is in stock now which costs a heckload and most people don't need the emulation functions..

The DSTWO Plus is great. And you can't get a good flashcard for 7 dollars.

The DSTT is a good flashcart. And it costs 7 bucks. And the DSTWO Plus can brick devices. And it drains your battery life.

i think the flashme device installs a sort of cfw or at least patch... i am really not sure though

The DSTWO can't brick a DS. It can only brick a 3DS if you try to use Gateway's launcher.dat with it (but it's suggested to never use the GW emulation feature even with SC's modded launcher.dat)
Anyway, DSTWO isn't very useful on a 3DS anymore since the 3DS can run emulators better than the DSTWO can. On a DS however you don't have a lot of options for running SNES games, and the DSTWO does a much better job than any of the native DS SNES emulators. Whether SNES emulation (and GBA without needing a slot 2 flashcart) and Free Cheat is worth the extra money is up to the individual user to decide for themselves. But it's not for no reason that it costs more money, the hardware is a lot more complex than any other DS flashcart, so it's not like they pulled the price out of their ass, and it's still very cheap considering you can play the entire DS game library for the price of one game, and most of the GBA/SNES library.
