I never bought any retail games for the DS for one reason: I hate switching cartridges and no having the ability to move your saves to your computer. Would Nintendo finally learn to produce a flashcard themselves so you can put your bough games on it with all those benefits then I am back with buying otherwise no support from my side for dated technology.

I will soon import Final Fantasy III, but don't really know where to buy games after Lik-Sang got shut down.

I guess that Nintendo of Europe is forcing me to play a backup instead

. But I rather copy the sh*t out of my $ony P$P and support Nintendo as much as possible. When it comes to $ony the only way I support them is through pira€y

Only game I've bought since I got my M3 in July was Castlevania: PoR. Keeps freezing on my setup so I just said the hell with it and bought it. Usually I'd wait for a fix, but in this case a fix isn't possible, save for buying a different SD card proven to work with it.

The only games ive bought were brain training, dbz, and new super mario brothers. ive got a supercard and sadly ive not seen many games id be prepared to pay for. but if i did id gladly do it.


Im the same with my pc ill always download the game if i can and if i like it ill delete and go buy it. I like to know im going to enjoy and get use out of what im paying for.

My DS Lite was a gift and I got one game with it. Sold it and ordered an R4 just the other day. Don't plan on buying any games unless they are really really worth it (I would buy AC just because that game is awesome). Hell, I haven't bought any games for any of my disc based consoles either (PSX, PS2, GC, Xbox).

The worst thing about the suddenly popularity in the ds was alot of game developers just rushed out and released garbage games soo the flashcart for these is a beter financial investment.


Like i said chances were without these cards people would have wasted there money on a few games which looked decent but had little gameplay to keep you interested.

When I downgraded my PSP and purchased a 2GB memory stick, I backed-up all my games onto my PC and traded them in for store credit

the exact same thing is going to happen with my DS games when I get my R4!

I bought a DSL with kawashima blablabla brain shit, but only to buy a flashcart right after.
I thought i'd be playing that kawashima thing until ight now, but that's not the case, i got bored... But anyway the point was from the very beginning to use and abuse of a flashcard...
With now 2 DSLs, one with M3 lite, the other with SC lite, I'm not going to buy any games ever again...
My first comp was bought so i could play cracked games on it... so you see what i mean...

edit: but if a great game (like a castlevania game?

) refuses to work, i won't hesitate, i'll buy it. Good games deserve support.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
