    I just bought my DS lite yesterday. I love the thing and now want to try and get it running roms like I did on my sp. I think I know what I have to do, but just want to double check with some experienced users. Ok, since I have the DS lite, I need the passcard 3, correct? Then I need a flash cart. Once I have these items, I simply add whatever roms or programs to the flash cart insert both the passcard and cart into my ds, and that's it?

    Also, I have a 256mb EFA linker for my gba already. Would that work with the passcard3 to play roms on my DS?

    And finally, what do people recommend as far as reliable sites to buy the products I need, and what would be the cheapest I could get away with? I know this was a lengthy post, but hopeflly this will be the last help I'll need.

    Don't bother trying to get the EFA working with DS games. It's not worth the effort and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with DS Lite since the newer PassMe's such as Passcard3 and SuperKey don't work with it. I used to frequent the official EFA forums and that's just how things worked out.

    In any case, you have the right idea of what you need to have, since the Passcard3 is an excellent choice of PassMe. The cheapest solution would be to get an EZIV Lite, whereas the most expensive would be the M3.

    The best one would have to be the M3, but the Supercard and EZIV work well enough for DS games. The M3 supports pretty much everything you throw at it whereas the Supercard has some trouble with GBA games and the EZIV doesn't have homebrew support at this time.

    Here's a list of some of the sites people on this board have ordered from.
    www.winsunx.com
    www.realhotstuff.com
    www.divineo.com
    www.newegg.com (for SD/miniSD/microSD cards)
    www.buy.com (for SD/miniSD/microSD cards)
