Hey everyone, back in 2009 i had an M3 DS real with my DS. (I havent been doing this for a while)

I just bought a DS XL and thought i would start anew :-)

But man, what a jungle this is :-P.

I would really appreciate if someone could recommend a flashcart and firmware for me and maybe where to purchase it.

Thank you

Cool, maybe in about 7 more years you'll resurface and upgrade to a 2ds :P

R4iGold (r4ids.cn) is a great card but dsTWO is also nice if you need more featues and price/battery life aren't important.
Firmware isn't an issue with the cards.

I'm oldschool baby ;-)

So with the R4iGold will i be able to play GBA games aswell?

I remember using the firmware m3 sakura (or something) 6 years ago, are there any new versions of that?

I think the m3 series is old news? Might want to ask @Crystal the Glaceon about it.

The DStwo is a good card for GBA emulation as it has an on-board 400mhz CPU and such. It's a little pricey at $40, but worth it imo.

Thanks i'll look into the DStwo, is it easy to Setup? I would like to avoid any difficult setups if possible.

But can i still play GBA games on the R4iGold?

It's easy.
Yes, but very poorly. The DSiXL has no GBA hardware unlike the dslite/phat.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(

    Loved that game lol

    @SylverReZ, sorry for the stupid suggestion I had in that thread
