Hacking What do you think of Ds-x?

I know nothing about code/coding. I'm on a mac. I'd rather just cut my losses and move on. If I see there is something I can help out with though, I'll help out as much as possible. I think it's a great idea, just a little over my head, heh.

I like my DS-X card. Works great. Yes I have to do an arm7 patch from time to time and have to work around a pokemon save from time to time but all in all it is a good card.

However..... I wouldn't buy another one since there is RARE support. I'd probably get me a Clyco it seems to be the one to get now.

Had one since Jan '06. Not had any major problems with it. If a ROM needs patching that just takes a few seconds. Not worth losing any sleep over.

Well jolly good for you.

Shame that, even after applying the arm7 fix, increasing numbers of games don't work (freezing on a white or black screen usually), there's a long list of suggested improvements to the os posted in the forum (at the developers invitation) yet to be made e. g. NO SOFT RESET, that bloody "saving eeprom" needs speeding up/eliminating, doing something cool with the expensive fpga as promised etc etc

expensive fpga

I believe the "expensive" FPGA justification for the price is a bit of a fabrication. A minimum of six other card designs including the N-Card use the same FPGA. The N-Card sells with twice the NAND storage for less than $30.

I got suckered into buying this card too. Lucky for me, it wouldn't work and I got a refund. Voted burn in hell.

Well gee, if you haven't had any problems then the problems everybody else has been experiencing must be all in their head. Thanks for clearing that up, buddy!

I don't suppose any of those ROMs that you were patching included Tales of Innocence? You know, that game that freezes on startup if it's been patched with arm7.

Or there were a few games where download play didn't work. Some game called Mario Party. Yeah, I never heard of it either.

Or the homebrews that haven't worked for me.

But I keep forgetting, its all in our heads. Nevermind.

Played Puzzle quest for 61 hours, lost my savegame due to corruption, need I say more?

I read about the FPGA on their site and thought they were going to going to make some awesome hardware out of it. They make it sound so good with the "it could be a processor" tease. The store I was buying from was sold out of DS-X so I "settled" for a Supercard Lite and an R4. Now I have a DSTT and wouldn't consider an old card like that. That homebrew firmware is gonna have to do some pretty great stuff for to make it worth tracking down a DS-X.

poll is a waste of time, not voting

Would have been quicker to just press the vote tab if your so concerned about time wasting, instead of writing anything.

theGame07 voted that "I love my Ds-x, I don't care what people say I'm sticking to it." As far as im concerned the DSX team can burn in hell

The DSX team would have voted but they dont release information on their opinions of their cart.

ps MrSpuds "Engrish" is just fine

That's where your wrong "thegame07" didn't vote anything lol It doesn't effect my life in anyway if someone hates on the ds-xtreme

 

[MrSpud]

Bump!

Numbers don't lie.

I love my Ds-x, I don't care what people say I'm sticking to it.

I must be insane to write this... but: I love my DSX. Currently it's in use to play older Games and some Music. And besides that, there are tons of programs for windows on it (have to "repair" PCs two or three times a week. *sigh*). And since I have my DS and SupercardDS1/AK2 and the DS-X like all the time with me, its great to use it as data storage.

But we have to face the facts: The support is lacking like hell... oh... wait. The one of the R4 is lacking like hell, the DSX support is simply bullshit.


But since i can play roms until #1000 n shit, I dont care for support

 

[loathsome]

Voted the last one. Just got a hold of a DSTT for like 1/5 of the dx-x's price, and it's owning it in every single way.

darkangel5000: you love it because you don't have any other options

Come ON, the music player is HORRIBLE!!

 

[Virusak]

the longer I have the DS-X the worse I think of it.... now the crappy hardware is making me mad, the contacts are shi*ty - it is enough to put the ds on a table and the contacts disconnect and the ds freezes..... what a great construction for so much money, I just still wonder how could I have thought this card could be somehow superior, only broken promises are what is left now

The DS-X was the first flashcart I looked into. I didn't have 100 bucks at the time so I waited. I'm so happy I waited too. =D

Too bad I had 100€ to spend back then, too bad I did.

So, the DS-X is overprice. It's still an awesome flashcard, even if they haven't made an update in ages it's still a good card as said.
