GBAtemp.net EXCLUSIVE: DS-Xtreme *Update*

[thieves like us]

I agree with HC that 512MB is large enough (I currently have 14 titles on one of my 512MB cards). however, I also don't particularly care for the usb connector on the cart. I think that they would have been better off to raise the price by 5-15usd and include some sort of usb to nds cart adapter for your drag 'n dropping of images on it (much like the cf and sd to usb reader/writers).

Sounds interesting. We'll wait and see what will be the *real*compatibility. The miniUSB plug on the cart leaves me very doubtful about the sturdiness of this device, that's too thin to offer enough resistance IMHO. Hope to be wrong.

Sweet product. Almost makes me regret ordering an SCL, but I needed one right now so whatever. HOWEVER, I would advise AGAINST preordering from Divineo.COM. I am on their "preorder list" for the SCL, and it's an utter waste of time. Every other company has already had multiple shipments of the SCL except from Divineo.com (and they were the first to "preorder" it). Even today, it's still in "preorder" status. Even the G6 folk are still waiting for their "preordered" (which is now set to "7 day" although it's take way more than 7 days for people to get their orders) G6 lites.

Caveat emptor - these guys are terrible at fulfilling orders. You "preorder" at your own risk. Note: I'm talking about Divineo.COM - not Divineo.CN who by most reports are pretty quick with their orders. Wait for others to get this product, and I can almost guarantee you will receive it faster.

What will this card handle better than G6 other than the free gba slot?I doubt it will work with out patching but we will see soon enough.It also can't play gba games.And for the free gba slot the ram accessory isn't avaiable seprately so you have to get the browser afterall,and the rumble pack isn't that great,connectivity with gba needs an original cartridge a flashcart won't work.

For what it's worth I ordered an SCL from Linker4u on monday (at the time said it was preorder) and a G6 lite from Real Hot Stuff on wednesday, both shipped the next day.

I've never ordered from Divineo, but it sounds like either Linker4u or Real Hot Stuff are a better option. The latter being located in New Jersey.

Okay by the way things are evolving my guess is that the perfect flash kit will be out at the beginning of next year. Well, perfect enough for me to buy anyway. I've been waiting for a while.

For those concerned about the patching - the only reason we need to patch DS games at the moment is so that they'll save properly - they're not supposed to be run from the GBA port you know.

An authentic DS flash solution would need no patching, as the games would be able to save the way they expect.

No patching sounds great for us that can't or won't run Windows software (Linux and Mac users). I also guess the power consumption will be lower than nopass + gba flash cart, since it's only one device. And no sticking out! This will be on my to buy list if it works as adveritsed.

Aw, great... 3 days after I ordered my G6 lite, this thing is announced... Oh well, let's all just wait for the reviews to drop in so we can see if this really is "da shitz"...

 

[preelude]

this thing is nice, but still not perfect

perfect = slot1 cart w/ no patching + no flashme + microsd slot

 

[science]

It looks good, but the mini B connector on it is really a downside IMO. Can't wait for the review, though!

 

[MisterMaze]

You saw the DS Xtreme at GBAtemp FIRST!

WTF? Nope, I didn't.

Don't tell me where I saw things first! O.O!

 

[Hero-Link]

hmmm... the big problem for me is GBA support... and that is none

QFMFT
that's exactly what I am also waiting for!

then I'll get a 2GB microSD and the fun can begin

 

[squall3031]

Very interesting... the GBA support doesn't bother me as you could use this exclusivly in the DS slot for NDS ROMs then keep your current G6/M3/SC Lite packed with GBA/Homebrew in the GBA slot. Alot of the features sound too good to be true tho imo, alot like some of the claims on the M3 box... SNES anyone?
I'm interested in the Ninja DS more than this for now.

 

[cornaljoe]

That flash vid is awesome! Sounds like some cheezy pron.

 

[Teun]

Ah, I might even consider buying this, if the price is not TOO high..

It sounds awesome..
