Hacking Download Play Truble....

[Mill]

Hello! Newbie here

I'm planning on buying a R4 DS along with a Kingston 1GB Micro SD. I read the FAQ, read on several sites how it is currently the best one, and evrything.
BUT everywhere including here there is something about the Download Play with some games. Especially the Nintendo bred ones...

How exactly doesnt work? I won't be able to play multi-player race on Mario Kart DS? Or it's just that I won't be able to HOST the game, being the only one with the game? ?

What are teh problems that may occur with the download play thingy?

Thanks a lot for the help

You won't be able to host the game and have people share your game (single cart play)

Most download play games work, the exception usually being Nintendo developed ones.

Besides the games not working, there is nothing else you should worry about concerning Download Play. All other multiplayer is perfect (online, multi-card)

Some yea. Usually the Mario games don't work.

If the download play doesn't work, you can still play if your friend also has the game. Go here for a comprehensive list: http://wiki.scorpei.com/index.php/R4_compatibility_list

also if both people have R4s and play together it works fine.

my friend and i both own R4s and play tetris and mario kart ds fine.
