Gaming how the hell do peaple get blank ds cards ***NOT flashcart***

[Nightmare-Rex]

im wondering how the freak do peaple get blank DS cards AND put a single game on it. im not talking flash carts but I mean how the hell do ebay scammers get a hold of blank cartriges with no SD slot AND it holds one game like an official card. also Ive seen this for the GBA as well. examples: ebay scams, official looking pokemon choas black eta.

China.

I got scam once on ebay with those once. he said the game is original but it wont play on dsi and only on ds.

after that, i havent bought any ds game

but how the hell do they get these on these "cartriges" in the first place and where do they obtain them. also it would be bad ass to have an official looking game when it is acualy a homebrew.

All it is, is a PCB with various components on it...
You can buy the parts and make them yourself, of course you'll have to program them/write to the chips.

And homebrew wouldn't work as it's not signed code.
You'd essentially have to make a flashcard that ran one piece of software. Not very cost effective.

Need to be very smart to do this stuff. I got lost half way on what you were talking about lol.

And yes, its because factories in China mass produce this stuff so they can put roms on there and sell 'em for profit - cheap and profitable! Naughty, naughty.

I guess that most of those "flashcards" are cheap R4 clones with a flash chip soldered where the microSD slot should be.

Either that, or they're just clone PCBs of the original ones. I'd love to see the inside of one

I never realised that that was possible. When playing the game, like starting it up, is there any difference?

it's like every other real ds games,starts the same but sometimes hangs during gameplay.I bought a harry potter and gof game for regular price(30$) it had no manuals,the sticker was placed a few mm s out of place on the card,the card did not have the nintendo screw, the card was little fatter,it did not go in unless u pressed with a extra force, and the game sometimes hung during gameplay ,so it might be a fake.

This guy flashes homebrew onto blank NES cartridges and sells them.

It's very easy to make your own gba cart.
Your local electronics shop may have the parts in stock.
Though not really cost-effective as twistidsinz said.

Get a ds card reader and writer and put one of those cheap ds reproduction cards in it replace the game with the game you want

Compliments for the great ability to nonchalantly necrobump this thread, ten years old; moreover to write down a platitude.
