I recently bought a DSTT at our local mall. When I opened the package, it only contains the Cart and the card reader. No CD inserted either. Was I scammed?

There is some talk on the DX site about fake or shoddy DSTT cards, were the contacts aren't touching the sd card.
I have just ordered one so hopefully this won't be a fake/shoddy piece of crap.

TTDS with BOTH GBA and RUMBLE PACK

and theres also NEO TOP TOY a kinda OEM version that also can be bought in the versions above .. all the SAME slot 1 card just different SKINS and STICKER on the fronts

a lot of card makers dont put disks in the bundles as they often need updating on a regular basis so they just put the website on the CARD STICKER or on the BOX/PACKAGE for you to visit and download the latest software build

I just got my DSTT a few days ago from DealExtreme, and it works like a charm. I've experienced no problems and the contact problem is not present. I haven't seen too many DSTT complaints lately, so you should be just fine

It's not a fake. Mine didn't come with a rumble pack either, just the flash card and microsd reader. It works fine.

The rumble and GBA expansion paks that are sometimes bundled with the DSTT are just rebranded eWin rumble and 2-in-1 GBA expansion paks. If you look around, you may be able to find them. Psxboy.com is usually the best place to find the eWin 2-in-1 GBA expansion pak, but it's been out of stock for a long time. I believe the eWin rumble pack can still be had for around $6 if you look around.

You can also get the EZFlash 3-in-1 which has both GBA expansion and rumble in one cart. Although the rumble isn't as good as the eWin, it's in a single cart and the GBA expansion works just fine with the DSTT. dealextreme.com carries the EZFlash 3-in-1, as do many other stores.

You'll need to download GBA ExpLoader from the download area to get either the eWin or the EZFlash GBA expansion paks to work with the DSTT since there is no direct support for any GBA expansion built into the DSTT menu.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
