NewB needs help Any Pros plz HELP

I just bought a NDS lite, so i am new to this homebrew thing. Can any1 enlighten me on what are the best available things that i should get so that i can start playing homebrew on my NDS lite, btw i got a FW5 NDS lite (Magenta screen). I hope to play NDS and GBA games. Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
And i have found 5 products on this site
http://www.modchipstore.com/
is there 1 that can let me play the games that i want?

 

im rather new too (5 days now w/ a ds). a passme and flashcart combo will get you both nds and gba.

from modchipstore, buy something like:

m3 lite perfect and passcard3 (w/ the microsd and reader of course, unless u already have)
-requires patching of nds roms
-no patching of gba roms
-patchings not hard... there's a guide here...

or you can pre-order the platinum combo (m3 lite and m3 ds simply) (still need microsd here too)
-requires no patching for both nds and gba games
-they can work apart from each other (m3 lite for gba only; ds simply for nds only)
-or together (the simply can act as a passme)

 

-they can work apart from each other (m3 lite for gba only; ds simply for nds only)
-or together (the simply can act as a passme)
This 2 is making me confused. Did u mean that i can just buy either 1 of them (m3 lite and ds simply) and i can play both NDS and GBA games? And can they work on my FW5 NDS perfectly? thanks!

 

you either need the [m3 lite perfect (not pro, no gba functionality) and passcard3] or the [m3 lite perfect (again, not pro) and m3 ds simply] to accomplish all you listed.

to clarify, the m3 lite perfect's capabilities...
(without passme [the passcard3 in this case]):
-play media (vid, mp3,etc.)
-emulate older consoles
-play gba backups without any patching
-run homebrew (for gba)
-this will work on a gba (if ya can insert it...)
(with passme [passcard3*]):
-emulate even more older consoles i believe
-play nds backups with patching
-run homebrew (for nds)

*note: the simply can act as a passme also.

bringing me to my next point...

the m3 ds simply's abilities are**:
-play media (vids, mp3, etc.)
-run nds homebrew
-play nds backups with NO patching
-emulate games
-act as a passme
**note: these are supposed since its not out yet.

as you can see the m3 lite can act as a standalone gba cart. however, with a passme, the m3 lite can access more of your ds and its features from the gba slot (get it? pass... as in access...).

the ds simply, on the other hand, is a standalone nds cart capable of running 99% (if not 100%) of all nds backups and homebrew since it needs no patching. it also has features brought over from the m3 lite (media, emulation, etc.), but it can not run gba games since it is restricted to slot 1 (that's where the m3 lite comes in handy since its also a passme).

had to do a lil research on the fw5 thing... didnt know...

well now, these mods should be compatible with ALL ds's i believe. they are made to "act" as a real game (cartridge hacks are easier than optical disks i guess, thats understandable since the software is also hardware), thus the ds will recognize it as one.

 

hey can u take a look at this
http://www.modchipstore.com/M3-Plat...ution-m3-simply-m3-lite-perfect-1g-16420.html
is this the 1 that can let me play both NDS and GBA roms? with every thing needed included in the package?

 

funny... this is exactly what im getting (minus the microsd cards [select "no thanks" under the card options], you can find cheaper ones, just make sure the brand is good).

i didn't want to just go out and try to promote this deal... but i believe this will offer the most "bang for your buck". it is all inclusive (well, your computer has to have a usb port...). it'll do everything you would want it to (within the limits of a ds).

i can tell ya the results when i get this thing.

 

okok so i will wait for u to try it out then i buy haha. Thanks!!
