DO NOT get a GnM. It is the worst decision I ever made. I got one and it has been nothing but trouble. First of all its homebrew support is terrible. Also, it is very slow and freezes up the DS sometimes. Why would you want to get one anyway? You have a DSTT right. I would just do what neschn said and get another memory stick. You can get them cheap on eBay.

 

Besides, the GnM has a slow interface with the microSD card. While this isn't a problem for most homebrew, I've heard that movies lag noticeably on the GnM since it can't stream the data from the card fast enough.

 

Yes, by all means get another MicroSD, but I would advise you not to buy one off ebay - just in case it is a fake or faulty etc. which would give you a lot of hassle

 

O crap. I just ordered an eight gig SDHC off of ebay few days ago....

 

Yes, seeing how 4 gig micro sdhcs in Canada are at least $65.

EDIT: Thankfully, I did some research on the seller, and there were a lot of people who got the genuine item. There was only one negative comment about the item, when this guy tried to get a refund, but only got half of it. I just hope it goes the same for me as well.

 

Is there a way to run backups on this silly thing? Or does the "no ROMs" rule apply to those too? I wasn't clear if it's "no asking for ROMs" or "no discussing ROMs period".

 

Officially, it can't, but I figure someone out there must have developed a ROM loader if it's at all possible, and I don't see why it wouldn't be.

Also wondering if anyone knows whether the startup menu thing is contained on plain ROM or flash? I'd like to hack it.

 

Slot-1 R4DS plays music and videos with the integrated Moonshell player.

 

Why not?
