This isn't the first time Nintendo tried to stop piracy. They failed before.

How do you use these to play games though

demi · « **Reply #3 on:** July 29, 2008, 01:41:46 PM »

I dont know

Vizzys · « **Reply #4 on:** July 29, 2008, 01:42:30 PM »

is there a translation for that page, I assume this only has to do with japan?

most romcarts are made in china anyway

demi · « **Reply #5 on:** July 29, 2008, 01:44:37 PM »

I just wanted a reason to post some links... educate yourself, free your hardware's mind

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.

Yeah I read a Reuters article saying they're suing 5 Japanese companies. Luckily the CycloDS is made in Europe.

any cycloDS sales?

archie4208 · « **Reply #11 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.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #12 on:** July 29, 2008, 07:48:03 PM »

Thankfully I just picked up an R4 a few weeks back. I don't know how I played DS games without cheats before

Thanks Nintendo. I wouldn't have been able to spot this counterfeit software without your guidance.

Is there SNES emulation on DS?

cool breeze · « **Reply #18 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:44:30 AM »

Yes, but I don't think it is perfect yet.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #19 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:45:33 AM »

Poor Nintendo, they're only going to make $3 billion dollars this year.

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."

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.

how reliable is dealextreme? are the shipping times reasonable?

also is the acekard any good?

demi · « **Reply #24 on:** September 18, 2008, 10:32:21 PM »

Yes and Yes

Jansen · « **Reply #25 on:** September 18, 2008, 10:38:15 PM »

thanks.

i'm going to need one because soma bringer will probably never get localized.

demi · « **Reply #26 on:** September 18, 2008, 10:39:47 PM »

Dont forget TAles of Innocence

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #27 on:** September 19, 2008, 12:16:17 AM »

Do all those function like the R4?

demi · « **Reply #28 on:** September 19, 2008, 01:00:15 AM »

R4 is for LOSERS and its not even made anymore

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #29 on:** September 19, 2008, 01:03:07 AM »

Thank you

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #30 on:** September 24, 2008, 07:33:50 PM »

Just ordered an acekard 2

demi · « **Reply #31 on:** September 24, 2008, 07:38:05 PM »

Good man, welcome to the future

Greatness Gone · « **Reply #32 on:** September 24, 2008, 08:10:40 PM »

I should get one...

muckhole · « **Reply #33 on:** September 25, 2008, 07:00:15 PM »

I just broke down and ordered one. It was the Demi hard-sell.

Although I haven't bought "Danger! 50,000 volts yet.

Jansen · « **Reply #34 on:** October 06, 2008, 11:44:03 AM »

acekard 2 is now $13.99 at dealextreme

muckhole · « **Reply #35 on:** October 06, 2008, 02:40:43 PM »

Shit. And I haven't even got mine yet. :'(

Ah well. Helping out the (asian) economy.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #36 on:** October 06, 2008, 02:41:29 PM »

Sheet. Mine should be coming tomorrow.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #37 on:** October 06, 2008, 04:38:59 PM »

It came

muckhole · « **Reply #38 on:** October 06, 2008, 05:14:55 PM »

Haha, I just got my postal slip, so I'm assuming mine is in as well.

demi · « **Reply #39 on:** October 06, 2008, 05:15:47 PM »

If you guys need help, let me know...

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #40 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. :/

demi · « **Reply #41 on:** October 06, 2008, 08:20:30 PM »

Look into "EZFlash V 3-in-1"

Jansen · « **Reply #42 on:** October 20, 2008, 09:19:04 PM »

mine arrived today. i feel like if i just look at it the wrong way it will break.

I've managed to misplace mine moving shit aroud as we close down for the end of the season. $:-\$

I've got to go hunting for it tomorrow.

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.
