What?
Tell me ONE way GST is helping the scene progress.
Just releasing roms doesnt mean crap, especially only when ~50 people in the whole world can use them.
Youve got a good point, but you must admit that only one group mysteriously releasing roms for a flashcart cant be a good thing for the scene on a whole.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

Now if this isn't proof that neoflash is the ones doing these dumps I don't know what isÂ
We are developing a USB Loader
The Neoflash is developing a USB Loader that will act as a NDS Backup Program. This will help a lot of developers out there to study the dumped image on the PC for further research. It can also backup your savegames on your NDS Catridges so that you wont loose your savegame again,.

I don't get the Denmark partÂ
It's a reference to the classic Shakespeare tragedy, Hamlet. At one point a character says "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" to imply he think that things aren't quite right (since they are in Denmark and things most certainly aren't). Since then, it's become just a general statement meaning "I think there's something suspicious about this".

it's always funny to see replies that basically say "HOW DARE THEY RELEASE ROMS I CANT PLAY!!!"
kinda like all the people who don't have a 1.0 PSP complaining about emulators, etc being developed...
just sit back and relax if you don't want to pony up for what you need to play...
that's what i'm doing, relaxing...

I think it is not so hard to break the monopoly of GST/neoflash, but some effort has to put into it. IMHO there are a few tracks to do it:
* The key in dumping cards is in using the thing which is best at decoding it (the DS itself) and just look over its shoulder. This is the way DF did it, and this is the way anyone can do it. You even have some hints to start with (simple stream cypher with RTC based seed, different commands to read the card some of which some are encrypted).
* An other way is to hack the GST dumps so you have a "clean" nds dump, and work from there. It is said the rom patching is not the hardest part of making nds dumps run on gba flashcards.
So the main thing is; don't bitch about people putting in a lot of effort hacking the stuff and don't tell (for commercial, anti-piracy, or other reasons). Just put in the effort yourself and make the information open, or wait -silently- for other people to discover and bring neoflash competition or open info to the scene.
PS: if somebody (without an anti-piracy view, but with some extra time, and some reverse engineering skills) is committed to put some effort in getting nds roms run on other flashcards, just make a new thread on this and start hacking. Maybe i'll join you
(it is the time i lack).

The neoflash is -very- similar to the xg2-turbo card, read about it here.
The first two GST releases work with passme/flashme and neoflash/xg2flash. From the 3rd GST release the "magickey" is needed to boot the rom, but can be removed while playing (when using flashme). Probably the passme will work as "magickey" for booting those releases, but don't know for sure yet.

NeoFlash = Golden Sun Team
Without any shadow of a doubt!
Not really you know, they may have contact and all, but this is kinda obvious to sell your product, you need roms. So they know what the situation is, and need to improve everything and all.

gst are not doing anything wrong but it is a shame that once a proper ds flashcart comes out then all these roms will need redumping
as for people waiting for the proper info on how to dump the ds roms just wait patiently and it wont take long for a proper ds rom dumper to appear (and i dont mean one that just dumps random data which is what the neoflash usb backup device states it does)
