    You misread XbusterZ's post. In terms of adapters you can choose either combination: M3 DS Simply (slot 1) + microSD card OR M3 slot 2 adapter + Passcard 3 + necessary SD card; the Opera browser is usable only with the second combo.

    Edit: You have the option of trimming ROMs (back-ups) so they have a smaller file size. Wi-Fi and/or Download Play could break as a result of this trimming. Using non-trimmed ROMs guarantees the highest compatibility. ROMs are almost always distributed "clean" and untrimmed.

    1. no, just ~trimmed~ backups. but there ~may~ be special cases. nothing to worry about.

    2. if you want gba and nds playability, get a m3 slot-2 flash cart such as the m3 minisd perfect for original version ds or an m3 lite perfect (m3 pro versions do not support gba roms very well). add to either one of those the passcard3 and your set as far as gba and nds are concerned.

    if you want just nds backups, go with the m3 ds simply.

    HOWEVER, the simply can also act as a passcard. which means you could combine one of the slot-2's with it for maximum compatibility [and web browsing].

    3. if you get the m3 simply and one of the slot-2 flash carts...

    /EDIT: your welcome.
    and THANK YOU, kiwiclx.
    also, here's a >link< to the "opera web browser for the ds" thread. to clear things up...

    Perhaps I shouldn't have said that as the probability is almost nil. This topic will aid you in your search for ROMs. :X

    NDS games come in standard sizes. 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, and maybe 256MB. if it is not exactly one of these sizes, it is trimmed.

    E =Europe
    U =USA
    J =Japan
    There is usually no difference other than language, though some games may have features on one region that are not available in others (i can't think of any DS games like that though)
    The DS is region free, so it dosn't really matter what you get.

    Mario Kart DS is a 32MB game by default so yes that is correct.

    language will be whatever language was used where it launched. so your gonna hafta find some translations. i use gamefaqs.com

    well, their not exactly apps, their homebrew apps. which is programming designed unofficially by consumers for a product. hence, that's why the title given was HOMEbrew, for such programming. i think...
    anyways i use http://nintendo-ds.dcemu.co.uk/ for most of my homebrew. they are on th side panel to the left<. scroll down \/ for homebrew apps used for emulation, media playing, and errr... other(homebrew gaming, programming, random ds stuff).
    i recommend:
    moonshell (music, pics, videos[after encoding])
    dsorganize (pda-like app capable of filebrowsing and other useful stuff)
    beup (msn im client)
    d-saim (aim client)
