Hacking DSLink announced

[martin88]

A good thing I didn't purchase a G6 Lite yet, just when its corruption problem surfaces and now this.

Any news available on its release? I can't read Chinese, so I can't get anything out of those links on the first page. And it seems like there's no English support (Although I can live with that just because of the design). But, do the people who made it offer good support and updates nonetheless, based on their previous products?

This really looks like the next big thing

 

[phoood]

TF? Is that the same as a microSD card?

So I wonder, if you had the memory expansion cart, if you could use the opera browser.

 

[deadlocke]

I beleive TF (transflash) is the same thing as microSD. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD that was what microSD cards were originally called.

 

[omegatr0n]

I would pay money for this...it would be the shit...Please anyone with details please come forward

 

[BvG]

So it's just a DS cart (with a memcard in it)? No GBA stuff needed? And a menu! Do you still need to flash your DS?

 

[adgloride]

/me waits for the M3 and supercard team to rip the idea off and release they're own version of the card.

Should've had some sort of *pass name

This could be real sweet. Would love to use my g6 lite as just a gba card and then have a gig or 2 or ds games/homebrew. And this is combo with the other gba accessories would be nothing short of marvelous. Just wonder what battery life will be like and how long before gbalpha and others copy it.

What, you expect them to send you one for free?

 

[Hellfenix]

Wow! simply wow! Is it possible to run GBA games from the ds slot? A reverse flashme!

 

[pelago]

Is it possible to run GBA games from the ds slot?

Not yet, and some people say it's impossible. (But then, they probably thought it was impossible to run DS code from the GBA slot).

Ok...are we even sure that the microSD/TF card doesn't stick out? I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Also, GBA will never work from the DS slot because it doesn't have transfer rates which are as fast as the GBA slot.
A possible solution would be bundling it with a relatively cheap GBA add-on with 256mbit ram.

well, look at the picture! there is a TF card in it and it's not sticking out...

Whoops..I thought it was a black shadow with nothing

guess I should've looked a little better. Well in that case I'm really surprised they got all the mechanics to fit.

This is a real tough call for me...I still haven't picked up the NinjaDS but now I need to figure out if I want this...I love my G6 and I mean I SERIOUSLY love it...however I'd love to store DS games in the GBA slot as well as the NDS slot. I wonder how much battery life this will eat up. Not to mentio if your running this and a gyro sensor on the GBA slot...hmmm. The NinjaDS is just so cheap I can't help but to want one...This on the otherhand I am interested but the cost of this when I already have so many kick ass solutions...I will probally pass on this one and just stay with the NinjaDS. My main concern is A) Loading some games in the DS slot and B) being able to occasionally free up the GBA slot to use gimmicky shit like rumble and gyro packs. Personally I am not to happy about all these add on packs as I really don't want to carry my GBA games, a rumble, a ram expansion and gyro sensor...just seems like a lot of shit to carry. Hopefully only a few games will use these "expansion" carts. So far I heard the rumble pack sucks so thats not even a concern right now.

 

[TheVirus]

Any mention of a release date or compatibility?

 

[midigear]

DS-LINK is absolutely amazing, this is the ultimate solution.

release date: 20th of August

I want it now...

 

[neojei]

Anyword which exporters will carry these things? I was honestly waiting for the M3 Lite, but if I can get away with buying just once piece of hardward instead of a cart and a no pass, then I'm sold.

Good thing I waited on selling my SC SDmini and buying a G6 lite. This looks like, fun. Oh shit, now I'll have to restart my Tetris online games. Would I be able to keep my online Wifi ID from my legit Tetris game?
