Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection works fine with any flash cart.

Can you choose any image you want next to the name of the rom? If so that would be great!

 

[Opium]

^no, it automatically puts the icon image next to the rom.

......why would you want to change the image to something else? Wouldn't that just be confusing?

Oh ok well that's better than nothing I guess. No I would rather want the original cover for the game (box art) next to the rom name.

Any idea of what price this is going to retail at? And i mean confirmed price.

4 minutes to load a GBA game O.o
Say what?

If you choose to compress your roms you will have to load them 4 minutes, but with normal trim the loading time is only about 7 sek.
And to everyone who installs g6 v4.0 beta - be sure to copy your saves first .
I didn't and lost half of mine when I ran the games with the new firmware

.

Phew.
7 seconds is not too bad.
Pssh, forget compression

Thanks for the response

The G6 Lite is up for sale on Winsunx.com! Orders should begin shipping around the 25th!

Hmm, not a bad price, I guess it'll be around $100 with shipping to the UK included, right?

Apparently shipping to the UK is $25.1 so yeah the total would be a tad over $100. - Winsunx shipping table

Damn, not bad, but still more than I'd of liked, by the time you allow for import charges it'll be around £65 won't it?

Plus then I've still got the hassle of finding a cheap DS Lite, as well as finding a way to offload my current DS with M3 adapter, d'oh!

 

[dreassica]

I'd stillliek to see a version without usb loader device beign released, since, by teh looks of it, it's basically same as old g6. Bit of a shame to get anotehr one when an existing g6 owner can use the old one.

 

[blizeH]

What's wrong with USB Loader?

Winsunx usually 'fix' the custom forms so it's unlikely you'll be charged any import tax or vat. =)


My order will probably look like this:

$78 (G6) + 18.50 (Passcard) + 25.1 (Shipping) = $121.60
+ 4.5% (Paypal charge) = $121.60 + $5.47 = $127.07
- 5% Member Discount = $127.07 - $6.35 = $120.72

In GBP (using xe.com): $120.72 = £65.42 (or thereabouts!)

Mind you as I'm using paypal to pay, their conversion rate is slightly higher (to cover their fees) so in total I'll probably end up paying about £70.


As for a cheap DS lite, what I'm planning to do is pick up the GAME offer (posted about it in another thread), which was £120 for a DS and 2 games. I could then probably get £40 for the two games on ebay... so my DS lite will work out at a mere £80.

As for your DS and M3, ebay them lol! Oh and if you're strapped for cash seeing how you already have an M3 maybe it'd be best to just hang on and carry using that until the new version of the M3 that fits flush with the DS lite arrives (next month supposedly).

Support running games larger than 256Mbit in size.

so it only run games that are larger 256Mbit?
aren't there games that are smaller then that?
like sudoku and brain age, I don't really know they're size, please correct me if i'm wrong

 

[blizeH]

Sounds like a good plan, thank you! Would you recommend flashing my DS or getting the Passcard though?

I'll probably order it before I sell my DS, it's not a cashflow problem, more of a 'struggling to part with an extra £60+ for something that won't actually benefit me that much' problem

 

[r4sCaL]

seems like the UK GAME deal is £130 with 2 games + Screen Protector and Cloth, check http://www.game.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?lid=6211

I think I will go for Metroid Prime and Sonic Rush but I can't decide between the black or the white DS.

It supports all sizes. There were some issues with other cards/loaders early in the scene that could not support DS games bigger than 256MB

Same for me. I don't need another Passkey either but it's likely to get bundled by a lot of stores.

Ah cool they actually have some online offers up now! Maybe the £120 with 2 games offer (here for more info) is an instore only thing... either that or it's changed, but it did exist and they were even taking pre-orders for the bundle. But heck my local GAME store is kinda weird... they have 10-30% off a lot of their games... picked up Guilty Gear Isuka last week for the PS2 brand new, only £3.49!

Is the passcard3 the best option for g6lite?

 

[Renardhun]

Thanks Opium.
So the drop-drown menu is the only way you have now to access the other functions of the G6 ? No more (ugly) screen with the differents icons to access each function (video, pda, game, cart) ? Sounds very good indeed...
Let's also hope they will fix that GBA rts bug, I really need the gba loader to work properly.

G6 had front menus ugly. Now how G6 has of beautiful menus, I hesitate with me to buy one of them!
