DS #0168: Mario Kart DS (U)

[Hellfenix]

My friend number is : 545520

[memyselfandi]

i can't find people online either but where do you find the code?

 

[berlinka]

Hey I'm not cynical!
The game wasn't AWFUL or HORRIBLE, but I don't know... the cheese courses were.... cheesey.

It was nothing personal, just read a few posts back:

QUOTEspeak for yourself, cynicalman.

SHITman. My name is CynicalSHITman. Shit.

I just got an email saying my order for Mario Kart DS was shipped today. Happy is me

Mario Kart is allready on sale here you know right? and at AU$59 it seems a bit odd to import, but to each his own!

I didn't import it

I just ordered it online. You see I live in a small country town, the possibility that Mario Kart DS will be on store shelves this week is non-existant. I mean I still haven't seen a copy of Advance Wars DS here!

*EDIT*

I just found out, new software for the Ewin is out. It can now play Mario Kart DS with an original card with 2mbit save (pity I don't have one of those.....I think). Anyone know what save size Meteos is?

*edit2*

Ahh, torturous game....I have no 2mbit save size game. But the game boots up then after the first screen it wont continue because 'save data could not be written'

So very very close. I wish there was a way around that screen.

K, I bought Mario Kart DS, not getting the bundle.
Anyone want to tell me what the heck is up with EBgames constintly trying to sell me a $1 guarantee? What is it?

I think the guys get a comission of some sort by selling this kind of insurance.

You know that less than 1% of these games end up that way. Oh and also, NDS games are very well built...i highly doubt they'll fuck up.

Bought the game today at a friendly 40$ canadian at ebgames, it was 10$ cheaper just for today.

I had to say to the wallmart clerck that there were around 40 units of it behind the glass counter after he said to me that he didnt had it. He saw them but refused to sell me 2 copys... WTF?
"Can't sell them before the 16th" he said.

they don't necessarily get a comission or anything, but it's part of their job to up-sell/add-on... kinda like "do you want fries with that?"
sure, it's annoying, but they people that are pushing that stuff on you, are the ones that are doing their job well.

I have a NeoFlash 1 gig with the original PassMe & I get the message: "The data could not be written. Please turn the power off and reinsert the game card". I tried using Mario 64, Zoo Keeper & Warioware Touched as the booters (only originals I have). I used the "GST_Universal_Patcher_V3.0_for_mk" & "GST_Universal_Patcher_V3.1" & have the same issue. Any ideas?

The game needs to have a save type of 2MBIT FLASH.

 

[5uck3rpunch]

When you say "2MBIT FLASH", you mean the original DS cart that I have in the PassMe? If so, which new ones are 2mb?

Nintendogs has a 2mbit save.
I'm in the same boat as you, I can't play it because I don't have an original game with a 2mbit save

 

[5uck3rpunch]

Well Opium, this boat sux. We need out. LOL! Is Nintendogs the only one with a 2mb flash? Are there any older other cheaper (bargain bin) carts??

So I just need to buy one of these originals then. Umm..is there anything larger than a 2mb flash right now? I can trade in the other 3 carts I bought & put it towards one of these or something with a larger flash.

lol, just buy Mario Kart then

Then you can play Mario Kart AND have a game with a 2mbit save to use in the future incase the issue arises again............or even use the original Mario Kart to boot up the rom of Mario Kart

No there are no saves larger than 2mbit...............at least for now.

 

[5uck3rpunch]

Thanx Opium...a gentleman & a scholar!

PS: Nice blog!

 

[decript]

Sucks, just got it and the WFC servers are down. Shiet! Game is awsome though, the single card is quite jam packed with fun, its not as limited as i thought.

 

[5uck3rpunch]

Good to hear d3CRIPT!

 

[Renegade_R]

It would be bad to know that the Nintendo WiFi Servers are down to analyze ROM connections versus legitamate connections and ban an entire segment of the network...just some speculation...
