So it has the thing to play GBA games also? Other sites were selling this for $60. I think I'll buy it from here. :D

Post by: archie4208 on July 29, 2008, 07:23:08 PM: To bad the DS doesn't have any games worth pirating anyway. :'( I use my flashcart for NES and GBC emulation.

Post by: cool breeze on July 31, 2008, 02:55:53 AM: Nintendo is off fighting a meaninless fight against piracy while Sony endorses it:

Quote from: http://buttonmasher.co.nz/2008/07/29/david-reeves-on-pal-and-bittorrent/
David Reeves: "We are a PAL market and we are going to do it in PAL and we are going to do it properly, you can wait for it and you can have it in good quality, you know you can get the stuff from Bittorrent if you want to and download PSP games, it’s up to you."

Post by: Hollywood on August 06, 2008, 02:21:35 AM: Do any of these cards allow you to dump games from a DS cart to a flashcart? I would like to find out how to dump them to a PC then to the flashcart, or straight to a flashcart.

Ah well. Helping out the (asian) economy.

Title: Re: Nintendo & Other companies campaigning to stop flashcart sales
Post by: TakingBackSunday on October 06, 2008, 08:11:38 PM: I think I got it all taken care of actually. Acekard shit is fairly straightforward.

The only things I want now is something to play GBA games using it, but I guess you need a slot 1 device for that. :/

Post by: FatalT on October 21, 2008, 07:20:24 AM: Woo, after reading this thread I went to see if there were any new updates on the M3 Real's firmware. They've added Real-Time Saving for NDS games! Woooo! Sakura is also pretty updated but it doesn't have real-time saving yet. I can't wait to try it out. I also picked up all the games that I've missed since the last time I scoured the ROM sites. I still need to play Dragon Quest 4 though.
