[DS] Universal DS Homebrew thread. Fucking cheapskates.

Yeah, that's my guess.

Edit: They're back up now.

where best site to buy TTDS (cheaper)? divineo.com not have it.

DSTT

I've bought from them before, and they were quick and friendly. Also take American Express which is nice for their buyer protection. I've also bought from kickgaming.com, but I don't see what you're talking about on sale there.

thanks for info

I've recently been looking into the R4 chip. For some reason, I was originally under the impression that I could put roms on it OTHER than DS roms. I recently learned this is not so. For my personal preferences, this deems the R4 chip unnecessary to me. My question is, is there a product similar to the R4 chip that enables me to put NES/SNES/Gameboy roms onto my DS?

Thanks guys!

Doesn't N5 allow you to do that as well? O_o, I am not sure (I have both 5 and D4) since this delicious thread doesn't cover it

I assume this will get merged...

CycloDS can run any emu, basically. Some of them aren't that great, and haven't been developed very well yet, though.

There's an M3 Perfect setup, also, but I'm not as familiar with that. But you can basically do just as much with it.

But anyways, I suggest buying a CycloDS from Jandaman.com. That site had some of the best prices, it only took a couple days to ship, and I had a minor issue with my card so I asked if I could get it warrantied even though I was just slightly out of the warranty period, and he sent me a new card with a return label, so I never had to buy postage OR go without my card.

Great guy.

Getting an R4 for your DS at this stage is like buying a VHS player for your HDTV, outdated as fuck. AS FUCK. Can you imagine those dried up juices? Oh man. I have an M3 something or other and furiously enjoy Game Boy and Master System ROMs on it every day.

So it sounds like M3 is the way to go because you can put any emulator on it (provided it will fit), as well as play downloaded DS games? Is it the general consensus that M3 is the best? Ive read most of the posts here but I still can't come to a conclusion about which is best for me. I really want to play the old emulated games (NES/SNES/Genesis/Gameboy) but also would like to play the downloaded games... tell me what you think.

That will probably work just fine but as always I suggest you go with CycloDS. If you haven't already done so please read the thread.

Yeah, good SNES emulation is still a ways off, and I haven't tried out any Genesis emus, but NES/Gameboy is pretty decent so far. Any old flashcart will let you enjoy emulators though, even the R4. But like Infernal said, it's really really old, and you can get something newer like the TTDS or EDGE DS for half the price.

Can't remember what old Gameboy emulator I'm using on mine but it isn't quite full speed just yet. And while it's not like NES roms are big or anything it seems silly that there aren't any emulators out there that allow you to select an individual rom. They all seem to call for using some application to pack them all into some odd file.

According to this, NES DS plays individual files just fine. Apparently no DPCM or PCM sound though, which is . You might have been thinking about Goomba Color, which is actually a GBA homebrew GBC emulator and requires the ROMs you want to play to be packed into the same file as the emulator. There is a DS port floating around now though, so maybe that's fixed too.

The latest Lameboy is actually full speed for most stuff now. Still some slowdown and glitches in Shantae though.

Nevermind, I should learn to read.

Just remember with the M3, don't get the Simply as you're then SOL as far as Slot-2 devices.

How so? Just get an EZFlash 3-in-1 or eWin GBA expansion, download Rudolph's GBAExpLoader, and you should be set.

Sorry to cast Necromancy on this thread, but I just got the M3 DS Real.

What emulators are supported? ... and what DS games are NOT?
Guess I'm just trying to find a general "set-up" guide, since Elixir was apparently banned and his post was uh, cleared out.

You can get emulators for most stuff up to SNES, which is where it starts getting a little iffy.

Generally there won't be any games that aren't supported, since patches usually come out for the various cards pretty fast. I have heard of problems downloading songs in Band Bros. DX though.
