Ok..... so i wanted to be able to play backed up games on my DS but im confused about which things do what and what i need to buy . I know i need a media adapter and a pass card or do I? i am completley lost in all of this stuff!To put it simply could somone tell me the best low cost way to do what i want and explain it to me i saw http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/359961 that post bbut im still confused about the whole thing. Could somone please help me?
You can't have the best and have low cost. Yes you need a media adapter, I recommend the M3. Yes you need a Pass device, and the Passcard3 is the best at the moment. you also need a media card (CF, SD, miniSD) and if you don't already have one, you need a card reader/writer for for media card. The M3 is the best media adapter for the DS, if you want a cheap adapter you can get a supercard.
what i meant was the best-lowcost not the best for the lowest cost But would this be a good deal? is this missing anything? http://www.realhotstuff.com/supercard-superkey-bundle-p-80.html
how much of a dive in battery life are we talkin here? and whats the matter with the gBA compatibility
Don't forget about the EZIV. It's cheaper than the Supercard and has perfect GBA compatibility with the exception of GBA Pokemon games. Only a few worthwhile DS games have any issues.
Supercards will lessen the battery life by a few hours and the problem with GBA games is that they have slowdown.
Well if the M3 has flawless GBA capibility then imma go with that but another question can a digital camera be used as media writer and if not how much is it gonna be?
That completly depends on the digital camera, I have two cameras, one small camera which (if it used the same media) i could use as a card reader, and my professional camera which uses it's own software to read the pictures, meaning I can't use it as a card reader. If when you connect your camera it shows up as a removable drive on windows it will work. And yes, the M3's GBA compatibiliy is ALOT better than the supercards, i think there might be 1 game that won't work properly, actually that was fixed in the latest update for the M3
OH allright umm one last question can you mix and match? what i mean is can you use a superkey with an M3(ohh a rhyme) because i want to get everything as cheap as possible! and i hope this whole post! can help people just like me!!
