Hacking N/F-card Or TTDS

[Giangsta]

a friend of mine wants to purchase a reliable and stable flashcart which has perfect rom compatability and at least some/most download play. I'm tossing up between either the N-Card/F-card or the TTDS (which has quite a tempting price).

The ncard and it's clone have been around for quite some time and have built up a strong reputation of being very reliable.

The TTDS has great price and seems to be like an R4++

im swaying 70/30 for the TTDS because of value and also because it's a young gun in the market

what do u guys think?

thanks

N-card. You need a GREAT microSD card to keep games from lagging on ALL of the microSD based carts(even with the best, Zelda WILL lag), but the N-Card has always had 100% full speed compatibility.

i'll be purchasing a Kingston C01G so all the games should work fine, and i don't think he'll play Zelda anyways

TTDS is unproven at this stage support wise looks good but n card is reliable!

N card ftw

if someone were to purchase an n-card would it be best to just purcrhase and f card instead?

As far as I know they're exactly the same...

Sure they work fine, however, will they play at 100% their normal speed? I think not

Zelda doesnt lag on my DS with a Japanese 1GB Kingston(SCDS) or with my mates R4 with the same microsd

yeah 0_0

either should be fine, but F-card is a better buy than N-card because it has a better USB writing device (connects straight to computer, wheras N-card etc have a slot two adapter which is generally much more cumbersome)

whoops somehow double posted sorry X_X

Play the original game - see the difference.

At worst on a Kingston SD-C01G, Zelda plays at 95% speed. Most 3d games run at about 99% speed. Ouendan/EBA are so much easier on the real game/N-Card.

How good is the download play on the n/f cards with the following games:

Mario Kart
Club house games
FiFA 08

And generally every other download play capable game

I dont know about fifa but mario kart and clubhouse games works fine for me

I have also tried worms that works

Tiger woods failed :/ thats all I have tested in the past.

thanks for the heads up, as long as the more mainstream and popular DS titles work with download play then thats good

I disagree. I have the original version of Metroid Prime Hunters, which is 3D, and the rom plays at the same speed as the original. And if you want a card that has perfect download play, i'd go with the TTDS, as i dont think the n-card is perfect.

i've already ordered 2 ttds's from DX but they wont ship until the 8th or so.

 

[Omgwtfisthat]

I have exactly these 2 cards. No more no less

Anyway, I like them both but if you were to ask me to recommend you one I'd say DSTT.

I got both my DSTT and N-card from DX
