Hi all,
I've been trying to read up about nintendo ds but I can't figure it out. From what I have heard theres a lot you can do with it. I would like to be able to play dumped games, or roms, and use the internet browser. From what I have heard you can even use it as a ds to ds phone! I think that's awesome, useless, but awesome. Anyway I just got my DS and it's sweet and all but I don't know how to do what I want to do. If someone could just explain what I need and what the best products to get are it would be greatly appreciated. I haven't owned a handheld since original gameboy, but I have modded my wii and play burned games like its nobodys buisness. I want to be able to do the same with my ds.

Please help. Or just point me to a thread that can help a complete n00b!

 

Well personally searchign or just browsing the NDS sections wqould be a good start.

You will need a slot-1 flashcart such as an R4, G6 Real, whatever, and if you want to use the DS browser and to play GBA games, you need to get the 3-in-1 EZ expansion pack. A good place to buy all this is dealextreme.com.

Go to the review section and read up, and decide which is the best for you. I use the R4.

 

yup. the thing that looks like a ds game is a slot-1 flashcart, the mini(? you sure?) SD card is the card that holds game datas, while the expansion pack in slot-2 (ie. GBA slot) is a slot-2 flashcart. There are a lot of good slot-1 flashcarts and slot-2 flashcarts in the market nowadays. i think there's a comparison table somewhere in GBATemp.net...

 

could someone link me to the chart if possible? my cuz just told me that he has an r4 so im probably going to get that but still just in case could someone link it for me?

 

lol ok yea im lazy. i have a ds lite btw not a regular ds... I don't know if that matters though.

ok i found it and I'm definetly getting the R4DS.

Which expansion should I get? the Ewin or the 3 in 1? What is the expansion used for?

 

Thanks lol.

Well from what I've just read, 3-in-1 is more popular, but only cause the ewin just came out. I'm not really interested in gba games, only ds so I suppose it doesn't matter.

 

is it called ezflash?

Hello g124v17y (how to pronounce that?) and since the other forum members already did an amazing job on helping you out, I'm just here to say welcome.

 

Thanks everyone. You've all been a great help and I really appreciate it. I will use edit instead of fast reply now ;-). and I'm just waiting for my stuff to come in the mail now. Again, thanks.

BTW it's pronounced gravity
