[DS] Universal DS Homebrew thread. Fucking cheapskates.

I tried running a Melty Blood: Act Cadenza video through moonshell at full screen last night. It was watchable, but definitely pixellated. Maybe some day I'll toy around with the video options of the dgp converter, but it isn't all that interesting.

I didn't mention EZ's stuff because I just don't hear about it anymore. Back when the SuperPass was all the rage, sure. In fact, in 2005 I had a flash cart of theirs for GBA, but I never did get to properly use it.

Are you saying that the M3 Simply isn't good for watching videos at all, or do you think they could run fine with some tweaking? One of the main reasons I want to buy one of these things is for the video capabilities; would you suggest looking at a different product that handles video better?

It could probably look better with tweaking, but since I have next to no interest in watching movies on my DS I won't be doing so.

Changing products wouldn't produce a better result, since it's all based on your moonshell version + micro sd card speed + encoding method.

I have a quick question for anyone familiar with the Supercard MiniSD/SD.

How do you save GBA games? I tried playing Riviera, but when I save my file, it disappears the next time I reboot. I checked the Supercard website, but it's in engrish, so I'm not exactly sure. Do I push L-R-A-Select to permanently save it?

Yeah I'm pretty sure you have to press L-R-A-Select. From my time with the supercard miniSD, I tihnk that was the input command for a real time save. For a normal save.. well I just didn't bother. I know there's a menu in the supercard miniSD's menu which lists all the saved games.

They should be listed on the mini SD card too.

I figure I will see what all the Kingston hype is about, so I decided to order two 1GB Kingston MicroSDs from Newegg for about 32 dollars w/ shipping. I guess later this week I will test to see if they are really the superior DS Homebrew Media Card of choice.

I hope you can cancel your order and order from meritline.com instead for $10.95 with free shipping (if you feel like it).

Last time I check meritline.com they were selling Kingston 1GB for $15.95. @_@ I might order another one for the heck of it.

Amazon sells MicroSD cards for $10. Kind of surprising, but it's a reputable site and all so hey!

Honestly 32 dollars w/ same day shipping on a 2 day shipping method isn't that bad for two 1gb microsds (12.99 each).

Besides, meritline's shipping methods have issues with my location for some reason. I never get a package >_>

I grabbed a Corsair 1GB Micro SD for $19 CAD from NCIX. Corsair is a pretty good name in the memory business, so I'll be the guinea pig for the Corsair brand.

Have a quick question here, do all the cards/carts on the first page support outside system emulation (e.g. GB/GBC/NES/SNES)? I know that the SNES/Genesis emulation isn't that good, but mainly, it's just for GB/GBC emulation which the DS no longer supports. I heard the GB/GBC emulation is actually pretty decent.

I'm looking at the M3 Lite Perfect. It seems to be capable of doing everything. It also seems that I don't need to flash my DS either, just using the Passme card instead. Opinions? Suggestions?

Unfortunately, it's about $100....

Someone should make a thread like this for the PSP~

People only make a ruckus about the Japan-manufactured ones.

Taiwanese ones are to be scoffed at. Or something.

I ordered this on too but have to wait since I ordered it from Canada but as far as I know you cant go wrong with it. Just make sure that you got a card reader since this is not included.

I don't see why.

They are pretty much the same like the Japanese version, except they have like 30mb less of space (what, like maybe one game at the most?), and a slightly slower read speed.

The read speeds are still faster than any other card.

Yeah... people only buy microSD card for their "DS flash card" and not for their cell phone (aka Kingston Taiwan card doesn't work on any cell phone I use).

my cellphone only goes up to 1gb which I think is retarded since an older model somehow supports 2gb.

is it possible to have more than 1 saved game (.sav file) for ds roms? or are you stuck with only 1? i have a m3 simply if that helps.
