Do I have to drag and drop update firmware into this before I drag and drop cleanroms or just drag and drop cleanroms into it and you are ready to play ? Thanks.

It seems this product works much like an USB pendrive in terms of PC connectivity: copy and paste files into the DS-X and you're ready to go, the firmware does the rest. I guess firmware updates will come in the form of an executable which will recognize the drive and will update its firmware, but of course I'm not sure.
Nope you're quite right.

DS-X will release a small excutable program that will update the firmware for many computer OS's.

I hope they will update from 512mb to 1gig because 512mb seems to be smaller. How many nds files can fit into 512mb ? Curiousity.

No ? Does that mean if they are going to the bigger one then they will have to have a new DS-Xtreme card to do that ? I hope not.

Actually the answer would be yes and no.

Yes because they would sell a larger memory capacity one on the market because that would be the easiest way to go. Also, because of this there would be a price incline.

No because technically you could do it yourself. Now looking at the image above it seems like the save chip would be the Actel chip. That is where all the coding is as well. Unless it's the chip on the side for the memory. I'm not too sure about it. Anyway, you would be able to just VERY VERY CAREFULLY desolder the chip and put a bigger memory in there. Only thing is a bigger memory might be a little bigger in chip size. Also, you'd have to transfer all the files and coding from this chip to the new chip (unless the coding is on the opposite chip. Even after doing that we don't know if the firmware is caping the memory at 512mb. You would have to change the encryption for it to accept memory chips bigger than 512mb. Just like the HDLoader for PS2 it was at a 140gb limit in the beginning I believe. Even if you put a bigger hd in there it would cap it at 140gb. So we might have a bigger memory on our hands already, who knows. Thanx.

-See Ya!!!

Thanks. It is a good enough to me, I guess. 512mb is not that bad. How many nds files can fix into 512mb ? I got a feel of each 64mb would be about 8 files. Umm..if less than 32mb, there will be more than 10 files..hmm..I understand now. It's alot files so that's fine to me.
