Gaming Nintendo DS Jargon Dictionary

The Rumble Pak, can't that also be used as the RAM expansion for the Opera browser on the DS/DSL?

I think their separate things but are normally combined.

Thanks ShadowSoldier, added both.

 

[basher11]

should add for homebrew: DiagnoSe.
lets you check your DS status; buttons, microphone, rumble pak, speakers, backlight, dead pixels, etc


moonshell: plays .dpg videos and has support for .txt files editing, read .txt files, alarm clock, picture viewer, password.

 

[Bluelaserman]

Thanks basher11, added the two homebrew

 

[basher11]

other flashcarts
M3 Real
M3i Zero

 

[Bluelaserman]

Is there any difference between M3,M3 Real or M3i Zero?

 

[basher11]

M3i Zero is for DSi, M3 Real, not sure. probably somewhat different.

also, bios. (illegal)

used for emulators such as no$gba and desmume.
loads up NDS style. (firmware)

 

[Evo.lve]

Whilst there's WAIO, AKAIO, and Sakura on the list, might as well add EvolutionOS, the SCDS2 OS. Nothing special, but it does have pretty much the best features.

 

[Evo.lve]

You may also like to add a Panasonic SD formatter entry, since a lot of people are confused by it...

SD/SDHC Memory Card file systems formatted with generic operating system formatting software do not comply with the SD Memory Card specification

Meaning that your OS's formatter sucks, basically.

 

[Shinigami357]

Hmmm...

I suggest adding the term "brick"
brick - describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware).
adding a footnote that in some cases, bricked carts can be un-bricked would also be helpful.

 

[Bluelaserman]

Thanks basher11, Evo.lve and Shinigami357. Updated to contain your information

 

[basher11]

bunjaloo (homebrew)
a good homebrew web browser for the DS.
can download files to the SD card.

 

[Bluelaserman]

Does that homebrew require RAM expansion?
Also congratulations on 3000 posts

 

[overslept]

Thanks for starting another Jargon dictionary. Hope they both get stickied!

P.S. The link in your sig and on your profile lead to your website, which hosts ISOs/ROMs. I would take it off before the mods get angry

no it doesnt

 

[Bluelaserman]

Thanks Arwing789, removed it

Updated with bunjaloo, so thanks basher11

To bad the PSP version isn't getting much action...

 

[Shinigami357]

Not quite sure if you have this...
DPG - A video format for the Nintendo DS

 

[Bluelaserman]

Thanks Shinigami357, forgot to add that >

.cc is a cheat code file? I thought it was a cheat cache file.

 

[Bluelaserman]

.cc is a cheat code file? I thought it was a cheat cache file.

Could you please explain it or show the source of your information? I don't know what it means myself.

 

[Rydian]

Both names can be used for it.

When you load up cheats for a game, it reads them out of the main cheat database and then makes a .cc file for that game containing just those codes, so it can load them faster each time after that (since it's not having to look through the whole database to get them).

EDIT: Also, could you change the disadvantage for the Supercard DSTwo to "The onboard processor and such means it eats into your battery life a bit."?
