iSmartDS
NEW NDS Flash Kit?

The iSmartDS is a new Flash Kit for the NDS. The Web site lists such features as video playback, AP patching, Cheats, 3in1 expansion packs, an SDK, and more. Could this be another iPlayer/SCDS2 clone? We will attempt to bring you more information as it is made available to us!

• 100% compatibility, supports clean ROMS, works on NDS, NDSL, NDSi and NDS XL.
• Supports NDS download play.
• Enhanced Real Time Save and Real Time Game Guide. Making it easier for you to play the games.
• Super fast memory card reading speed. Supports any MicroSD/MicroSDHC including the slowest ones.
• Anti-Piracy Auto Detection. No patches needed for games with built-in anti-piracy.
• Automatic save type detection, no need for a save type database.
• Skinnable interface for both theme and buttons.
• Multi-lingual user interface. Customizable languages.
• Supports Action Replay cheat.
• Supports Wi-Fi, EZ Flash 3 in 1 expansion pack. No additional software needed for the expansion pack.

interesting

the cart is called iSmart Premium even though there wasnt a normal ismart
do they have to put Premium in the name?

 

[shakirmoledina]

they should have waited till the 3DS, this is not really important or needed... well maybe it might be idk

It does indeed sound a lot like the iPlayer/DSTWO, something doesn't seem right here... That or it's something like that other flashcart with a built-in CPU that I keep forgetting. Hmm...

 

[liquidnumb]

iSmart Permium. lol.

Did that make anyone else think of this?

 

[redact]

this card looks interesting :3

 

[Rayder]

It doesn't seem like it will have an iPlayer chip in it as it talks about expansion packs such as the 3in1.....

I get the feeling that people are going to buy this, thinking it's a Supercard DS TWO clone, but only cheaper, and then find that it can't do the same things as the DS TWO. I just feel as though this really can't do all that, and is not a clone of a DS TWO.

I just don't see this card catching on easily. Not with the DS TWO out, with it's GBA emulator and SDK.

"Video playback" probably just means .dpg movies. If it really played all movie formats, I think they'd point it out. Loudly.

 

[Dimensional]

So basically, it's just another flash cart that is attempting to be the next great one, even though because of the DS TWO, all flash carts need to be like that in order to stay in the scene, or at least have a good standing.

Is there anything that can prove me wrong?

I think you mean EX4i DS.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

That's the one. Thanks for filling me in

 

[Slyakin]

...Expansions? So... Are they directing this at the DS Lite or DSi? Maybe both...

it's just ome of those "cheap carts" with all the standered stuff in alongside RTS, RTG ect
i don't think it's aimed at that market, to comete against the dstwo and all.
oh and the site claims the kernal is going to be open source.

It's gotta be a clone of the SCDS2. Auto anti-piracy? Come on SCDS2 was the first to do that. It's definitely a clone. It might not even get regular updates.

 

[niu]

its like ez5i clone, or a ez5i open source & sdk version.

 

[Mbmax]

An ez5i clone and i'm not aware about this ?

Why do you think it's an ez5i clone ?

I have noticed that they are better at grammar and general English than the traditional flashcart company. They still have a bit to go though.

Yeah, that's been bugging me. Why can't flashcard companies get someone who actually speaks English to translate their horrible ENGRISH into regular English? How hard would that be? I'm sure someone from the Temp would be willing to do it in exchange for a free sample

... I don't think they actually have done that yet or at least implemented it.
