DS-Xtreme 4 Gbit in hand!

[DjoeN]

Here's an idea that I'm sure will never be possible, but its worth throwing out there. Could we use this card in slot 1 along with an M3 or other device in slot 2 in order to link DS games from this card to a GBA rom being played off the M3?Â

Like I said, sounds kind of impossible to me, but figured I'd ask anyway.

Not impossible

I bet this setup will work PERFECT when using DS-X in combination with FA or F2A (Ultra), or most older flashcards for GBA, reason, most of these carts when flashed only 1 game boot 's the game asap, no multi loader, this methode worked perfect when using an AR or other cheat device, so it should work perfect to link up, i'll try that as soon as i get my hands on a DS-X

(This means DON'T trow away your old GBA only Flashkits)

I think gbatemp need to redefine their definition of the word "soon"

Costello is the review nearly up?

It'll be done when it's done, quit asking.

We don't rush reviews.

 

[DeMoN]

If you're ROM is actually 300Mb, will it count as 512Mb or 300Mb in the DS-Extreme?

Edit: Where's the best site to buy this in the U.S? I think Foundmy is out of stock.

I cant wait for this review, i dont know if we are allowed to request, but i would love you to be able to test a action replay if you can get you hands on it.

Also like DjoeNtje said, if you happen to have a old f2a lying around please test that too hehe

that would be sweet.

 

[Siouxsie]

Since they reported that ROM trimming works, it should only take up the space it actually takes up.. I don't think the memory is divided into clusters..

But then again, I'm not the one with a DS-X ;p

 

[Costello]

Yes the review should be up in one hour or two. Is that soon enough ?

We're doing our best and try every possible feature (all we're able to try)

have you tried multicart multiplayer with the DS-X and a real cart? I'd be very interested to see the results of that.

New Super Mario bros multicart multiplayer mode works fine with 1 real cart and 1 DS-Xtreme

Oh and we're not going to be able to try every single DS homebrew, this would take too long. We've already tried the top 10 homebrew games already...
And a lot of commercial games aswell. This is time sucking.

Nice to see that the DS-X team finally released their long-waited product. Why I don't think slot-1 devices > slot-2 devices:
1) The so-called "clean rom support" is not 100% true,and it has nothing to do with the kit being a slot-1. its case is similar to the illfated MK3, which patch roms-on-the-fly, because there is NO WAY POSSIBLE for the game to read its data from the DS-X card without patching, and the same case goes for saving data to the DS-X card too. So theoretically, if SC/M3/ teams get to work a little harder, they might as well make this magical solution with a whole lot more of coding
2) No 32 MB of RAM == no support for advanced homebrew functions, that programs like DSLinux and MoonShell(and probably more to come) are using this RAM for complex things(such as a gui in DSLinux)

That said aside, I still think the DS-Xtreme will be a great product

Just stop replying to the ppl whining here

sure they could have made a revieuw 5 minutes after they got the box..

This is how it would be:

~~~~
Yehaa we just got it !!!111

The box is very shiney, it fits in the ds and it boots !! oh yeah we played 5 seconds of mario kart

score 11/10

the end..
~~~~

If i read all the previus post they tested like 15 games on it and a lot of homebrew stuff + switching stuff on and off the card also takes time

Just give em some time

after the revieuw you can start bugging em or even better the ds-xtreme forums with unawnserd questions

PS: Ignore the spelling im not a native English speaker or whatever you call it

About the skin system, I just made this quickly by editing one of the XML files in the /skin/ folder

It is absolutely fantastic.
You can indeed code applications for the DSXtreme OS!

 

[754boy]

Damn, if this thing is as critically acclaimed as you guys are saying, I might have to purchase one.

 

[Paralel]

Are we absolutely sure that it patches them on the fly rather than just not patching them at all. What does the DS-X team have to say about it?

 

[.TakaM]

do you guys think we could hope for a video review?

It doesn't patch anything at all. You copy files over using a standard drag & drop operation. There's no intermediate software like the M3 Game Manager or the like to do any patching.

 

[Jangie]

NinjaFish, Paralel isn't asking whether it needs an external program to do it, but whether the card itself does any patching at all.

NinjaDS (I think that was the name of it) is another slot-1 solution that did have to do patch-on-the-fly in order to work correctly, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Costello]

do you guys think we could hope for a video review?

We don't have a decent camcorder so we'll be using a mobile phone camera (you'll see it in the DS lite screen / mirror glass

)
but yeh we're trying to add videos of the DS-Xtreme in use.

 

[NinjaFish]

I see. My mistake. I guess you'd have to ask the developers to get the skinny on that one.

I think you need to say what you mean! You have a problem?
They get the cart and the review isn't up 10 hours later and you think that isn't "soon" enough to be called soon!?

Gee guys, hurry up and finish that review as the first time posters are getting angry!

I point to my preivus post ~_~

Do remember that most of the crew if not all are from the UK if i look at their profile which means its 00:24 over there right now and im pretty sure the revieuwers also have a daytime job

Cut em some slack
