Hacking DSX vs. AceKard

[jpxdude]

What a bunch of whiners!

Whats the big deal about ds download play?
and does the "ds download play" include wifi? (thought ds wifi was called wifi play)
if so then throw me on the list of complaining hobos on the forum.

i perfer wifi play, seems everytime i see a boxart with "Wifi" on it i get excited even if the title is "Barbie Vs Elmo Smackdown 2008" nintendo really needs more wifi games i think.

and isnt 100% compatibility better? i'm still mad about harvest moon ds not working on ez4 lite (crashes on axe) when everyone else got it working. i dont want to go through that again it emotionally scarred me even though the game wasnt that great.

harvest moon ds almost made me cry, then i played cooking mama which is somewhat wrong, least i major in culinary

DS Download play doesn't include WiFi

WikipediaNintendo DS Download Play is the system in which Nintendo DS owners who don't own a game can still play the game with someone who has it.

Wireless multiplayer comes in two styles: multi- and single-card play. For single-card play, the player with the actual game will boot their system and select the single-card multiplayer option. The other players will then select "DS Download Play" on the their units and will receive the necessary data to play the game. The data is lost when the system is shut down.

Another form of download play is in the form of kiosks at stores. These are DS Download Stations. Nintendo has sent out DS units preloaded with various movies and video game demos; store owners simply set them up, along with advertising the download station. They can be found in video game specialty shops like EB Games and GameStop, as well as retail chains like Target. Demos vary from store-to-store.

Topic is: "DSX vs. AceKard"

Step 1. Buy the devices
Step 2. Compare the... stop! Go back to Step 1!

Hmm, I only can buy the DSX. Ok.

Result: Get a DSX.

Do not argue about things you dont know. Do not guess. Do not read FAQs and promotional shit on websites. Get the devices and test them by your own.

completly agree to lars ...

and i want to add that DS-X is way overpriced, who cares about any missing download play when you can buy 2 acecards with chips for the same price as one DS-X

However, i wait for the upcomming Slot1-solutions but i would not say that the 4Gbit DS-X has a good chance of beeing able to compete with them. Time will tell ...

 

[stop_loading]

i'll take acekard any day

rather than ds-x, i would rather get an m3lite+passcard+1gb microsd with the same price

 

[alundra]

i definitely go with the acecard, im all about roms compatibility...

I believe wifi works fine, but download play (i think meaning single cart multiplayer) has some problems; not working on all games.

For the price, I think I will get an acecard to replace my current superkey, and use it in conjunction with my supercard lite. I still like my supercard, but I want an option to play the roms that supercard doesn't support (like Tony Hawk Downhill Jam). For £30 for the acekard (less than a night out on the booze), its worth it.

Just orderd my aceKard, 100 % ROM Compatibility is what I want.

http://www.bamboogaming.com/shipping-cost/info_5.html Says "The shippment will take Approx. 7 to 10 business day to Australia and other Asian countries. 14 to 20 business days to Europe and America."

However I've ordered it on 5 December, and today (8 days) I've received a message that I wasn't home so I have to pick up a package from China at the post office. Which I assume is the AceKard of course, but it was quicker than 14 days.

Do know though that they will not send the box, just the card, as said on the left top on the site...

Bamboogaming are very reliable I found. I bought 3 Acekards and 1 Kingston Micro SD off them. I ordered on a Sunday morning, I received them on the Friday! Pretty good going i'd say considering it was shipped direct from China.

BTW if you are comfortable with the quirks of the Acekard, it really does the business.
