Hacking DS-Link Review

[lenselijer]

anyone got tony hawks american sk8land working on the ds-link? it hangs for me when i have to type in my name.

Where did you (guys) buy the DSLink? Hopebuy is the only one I've found that has them.

My SC lite is on the way, but I'm definitely upgrading once these things become mainstream.

The DS-Link seems like a cool piece of hardware. The only thing it lacks is GBA support, which is OK I guess. There's more than enough NDS games to satiate me.

How's the saving system? Does it work and act like the SC lite saving?

Have you tried modifying the interace? The DSLink devs claim you can modify the sound and background! Cool!

 

[lenselijer]

yes you can load skins and change the sounds, its really nice.

saving is done when you reboot, but the text is in chinese so i dont know exactly what it is doing

i got mine from psxbox, but they are out of stock now...

 

[ron555]

lenselijer,

So the save behavior is similar/exactly like the M3/G6? Bummer! I wish they'd made it like the SC lite

What's wrong with the G6 save system? I think it works beautifully!

drag&drop:
has anyone tried to drag&drop a game yet. i mean the whole point of slot1 would be (for me at least) to get rid of the patching software.
i can live without ingamereset and cheat etc. as long as every game works flawlessly and i don't have to sit and wait for the next update.

maybe the only actual work the "patching software" does, is to create the .SAV file ?!?!?
can anyone with the dslink test this and "verify"/ "crush" my assumption

?

thanks!

A reported Drag & Drop working game is Chou Shoujuu Mecha MG.

Devs, could you do me a favour and try running FlashMe V7 from the DS Link?

 

[DeVS]

My DS was already flashed but I put flashme on and it launched and went through 100% so it seems it works.

Alright, thanks very much Devs.

 

[lenselijer]

DeVS, can you get tony hawk american sk8land running? It always locks up when i try to type in my name

 

[DeVS]

Hmm well I could enter my name and even begin a game but then it frooze up. Lego Star Wars II also does not patch with the current rom patcher.

 

[lenselijer]

damn, they promised me to fix that.

and also the new super mario bros minigames still wont work

 

[DeVS]

Ya but a guy finaly found the offical English site: http://www.dslink.cn/en/index.htm So atleast we wont be guessing WTF when a new firmware is released.

 

[melloncollie]

New English DS Link website:
http://www.ds-link.net/english/

It's much better and well translated.

ahhh, if only that guy knew how to use a videocamera... oh well, better than nothing i guess.

Just wondering, has anyone tried using flashme with this? Say if their ds turned off after 1% would you be able to do recovery from this too?
