I'm confused, this is the "microninja"?

 

[FifthE1ement]

No, this is made by the NinjaPass team. The other is by the Ninja DS team.

[deathspawn999]

looks nice, but the way the memory sits in it seems like an issue to me. wish there would be some kind of plastic clippy hinge or something to cover up where the memory is.

waiting to see how the reviews for this product go over

.

 

[bajibbles]

there isnt raelly too mcuh of a problem with the memory card... on some pics they stick it out on purpose. They list a dealer but its hard for me to find it on the site.. anyone got prices?

 

[deathspawn999]

i know they had it sticking out on purpose, but i would HATE HATE HATE HATE to lose a 4GB card because it slid out or something. those things are more expensive than their product. im just saying that a plastic clip or something that slides in to cover it, or a clip or something, isnt too much to ask for ya know?

.

 

[CacheSyntax]

Sweet, I just cancelled my DS-X order to get this right here!

 

[thefoxhole]

Yea.. this may be the ticket...

 

[FifthE1ement]

Just as SuperCard Lite users say, "Its not going to fall out!" These slots lock the microSD into place so that it cannot fall out.

The price for the NinjaPass X9TF is only $49.99 and it can be pre-ordered now at Winsunx.com! What a deal it even comes with a case for the device and a SD card reader!

Cool Fifth, thanks for the info.

How's single cart multiplayer work? Have any idea?

 

[FifthE1ement]

It supports clean ROMs so I suspect DS Download Play will work flawlessly! This cart also has another great feature which is Wifi ROM transfer! That means you won't even have to remove the microSD to add and remove ROMs as you'll be able to do it via your Wifi connection!

If this product meets half of its specs it is going to be hard to beat. I mean its only $49.99 and it comes with a card reader! All you need to supply is the microSD and you're good-to-go!

[IxthusTiger]

Needs Moonshell, DS-AIM, DSOrganize, NES DS and Snezzi.

Then I will buy it.

Still looking forward to the EWIN 3 which will have gba cart expansions too such as rumble, RAM and GBA.

Though I bet their expansions will work with whatever Slot-1 cart you have, I don't know if they would sell them seperately.

 

[cory1492]

Wasnt the NinjaPass flashcart thing complete junk? Or did I manage to get my wires crossed somewhere and they never released it...?

 

[pte]

The NinjaPass (=UltraFlashPass) company is known for their crappy quality procuts, non-existant consumer support and "I don't give a..." attitude. When people on the UFP forums decided to ask for support... they closed it. I will never buy from them. They have always claimed "clean rom support" and bs like that. Tho, they have never succeeded in fulfilling their promises. These guys know how to make business with westerns but they sure lie 24/7. I rather trust the NinjaDS. The same and even better specs and they have always kept their promises.

Yep it looks very promising. And adding card reader is not big deal as it can be bought for 2-3USD, but it is nice to get everything together.

 

[x_comp]

Phew, more Slot 1 choices but that's a good thing. Means the market is starting to heat up
