Do you own a back-up kit?

[nintendofreak]

I know theres 50,000+ members for this site, but I wonder, how many of us here Actually own a Back-up kit?

Chances are that your here to find out when theres new dumps, or just to talk among the nerds

600!!

i think 99.99% of people will have a flash card on this site. Or they have one coming in the post

i own ds (ds-x) and gba (ez flash 2).

 

[ShadowXP]

Yeah, I own an R4 DS and an old X-ROM that still hasn't kicked the bucket.

Going back through old release threads a lot of the older members that joined prior to the DS neoflash and ndspatcher era (i.e. GBA heyday) used emulation initially/exclusively and then maybe got a flashcard afterwards.

Nowadays I reckon that percentage of active users with/intending to get flash carts lies around 75%. That may fall once DS emulation becomes really viable though (which if current standards are anything to go by may be fairly soon).

Either way it is far higher than anything SNES/genesis or earlier era (the Amiga does not count) although I suppose that fact that cards are so easy to use with compatibility essentially perfect plays an important part in that one.

As for myself I currently own a few GBA flash carts and DS slot still seems to be too early, overrated for what I get (GBA support or lack thereof is massive detractor) not to mention things have yet to prove long term viability so I am not really considering it yet (that I and I just blew some serious cash on a new PC).

75 % its well more than that .

I'm looking forward to getting something for the DS that I can dump my legit games with. I'm using the G6 mainly for homebrew (DLDI FOR THE WINNZORZ!) right now. I like to buy my games (admittedly used..) but don't enjoy carrying the damn cartridges around.
