single card multiplayer working great to any DS.

"Apps, Music, Settings, About".

- Apps shows all .nds files on the cart
- Music is for playing music files obviously (MP3 and OGG)
- Settings for some nice options
- About shows URLs to the website and support

Silly question ,but i just gotta know. Does it play Megaman ZX ?

Kinda one of the main reason why im planning to buy this .

- And I'm quite interested in the skinning stuff, can you (if the DS-X team allows you to) share the files of the default skin or something, so we can work on skins already?

Hello

Shaun was so nice to host the default skin, so you can download it HERE.
Enjoy

Anyway, the save is stored on a memory chip in the DSxtreme then the OS saves it to the card when it reboots (it's instant, you can barely see the save screen). There's no problem with save banks.

Does it means you save ingame, turn off your ds, connect the DS-X with your PC and you can't backup your latest save, because it's still on the memory chip and not written to the cart?

I think that's the case, yes.

We're not going to try every single game

Does this rom have problems on other flash kits?

It takes about 3 seconds to load up (shorter than the M3 logo screen)
The built quality is correct, you'll see in the review.

!!!

That has just made me want to purchase the DS-Xtreme!!

Any extra cool features that you want to say Costello ? about the DS-xtreme that havent been mentioned before

 

[stinkingbob]

Just a qucik question Costello:

How sturdy is the DS-Xtreme, meaning does it feel like it will break easily. Does it feel like a real NDS game with a sturdy case?

Also, the little connector on the top of the cart which you plug in the USB cable to(I assume tht is a dvi port) -> does that feel sturdy and secure? Meaning, after say, 50 uses of people xferring their homebrew games to the dsx (plugging and unplugging the cable in and out of the dvi port on the flashcart), does it feel like that little port will become loose?

Lastly, my bro wanted to know if you have opened the DSX to see if their is some kind of RFID or tracking device inside, becuase he said the ds-x xtreme is too good to be true. That he is surprised Nintendo did not go to court to have this particular card blocked with an injunction.

B.

The built-in leds on the DS-Xteme

I love that. You'll see pics of them in the review that shaun's cooking!
Also the sleek OS that supports touch screen. And the direct drag&drop, how easy!

Hmm it's not as solid as a real DS cart but still good quality.
I threw it at the floor violently (speed approx. 210 mph) and it didnt break.
... kidding

It is fairly normal, nothing to worry about.

QUOTELastly, my bro wanted to know if you have opened the DSX to see if their is some kind of RFID or tracking device inside, becuase he said the ds-x xtreme is too good to be true. That he is surprised Nintendo did not go to court to have this particular card blocked with an injunction.

So they would make the perfect cart, compatible with 100% DS games and all, BUT also put a RFID chip in it just to track us? Come on.
You can't be serious.

A quick question Costello you said :

When i asked you about the OS could you say more about this possibly?

 

[CronoTrig]

All these positive aspects of the DS-X are reassuring me about buying it. It seemed sketchy at first but I can see that it's looking to be a gret product. Good thing I pre-ordered mine!

 

[enarky]

There was this Video where this guy downloaded a fresh version of DSOrganize from DragonMindeds site, copied just the .nds to DS-X and DSOrganize made its own folder structure... could you try replicating that? "Compatibility" with other homebrew using gba_nds_fat/libfat would be also interesting (if there is any). Like ScummVM or DSDoom, for example.

We did it and it worked flawlessly.

I have already posted about homebrew before, in this very topic.
I didnt mention anything about DSDoom but I can now say that it is compatible

 

[squall3031]

OMG, divineo sells it for US 120 bucks.
No way im forking out that much for this stuff,,,,although it seems really really nice >.< ... i guess ill stick with supercard a little longer...

 

[Smuff]

OMG ! I wannit I wannit I wannit I wannit I wannit

 

[ilovengage]

What I'd like to know is if it supports the DS Download Station roms so you can act as a Download Station
