Why would you want to do this? This could easily wreck your DS and all it would be good for is a paper weight.
0. Ignore GreenHike, he has just spammed several posts with pointless comments. Also note that the M3DSS and R4DS are basically the same. The G6 is the fastest as it uses in built memory, the M3/R4 follow as they can run most games at full speed with any MicroSD (only 2-3 games need a fast MicroSD), the Supercard is last as you need a fast microSD for pretty much everything. They all play the same files as they all can run Moonshell (media player) Yes, but it is recommended you get a fast microSD for the problem games such as CastlevaniaOR (e.g. Japanese Kingson) Yes, All of them. Yes, all three do updates to fix problems for new games. As far as I know they all work, but some games will suffer from slowdown if you use a slow microSD (the supercard is more probne to this than the M3/R4, the G6 dosn't use Microsd so no problem with it) No slot-1 card can play GBA games on it own, you'll need to buy a lsot-2 card of some form (the EZFlash 3-1 is good) I think NES games work well with an emulator, but as I don't use emulation on my DS i'm not 100% sure. Some SNES games work using an emulator, but i think most have problems/don't work, again as I don't use emulation on the DS i'm not sure. N64 does not and will probably never work on the DS as there is simply not enough power to emulate the system. Both links you provided give me a 404 Error, but a good MicroSD is a Japanese Kingston, you can find it on DealExtreme, shipping takes a couple of weeks to arrive from HK, but the price is worth the wait. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2396 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1458
would ythis be oky i decided to get a m3/r4 http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDS...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187178431&sr=8-5
since i need kingston how about these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-SD...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187179459&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Te...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187179459&sr=1-3
I have those kingston cards and they work fine. I also had success with the Best Buy's no name store brand. I didn't want to wait for the order to be shipped. While both played games fine, the loading time on putting games onto the card and loading the game to play was noticeable, only a few seconds more, but noticeable. Once in the game, there is no difference. There are some new cards that are SDHC that are rumored not to work in the R4, but they are only 4 gigs or bigger.
Kingstons will definately work, so it would be safer to get them instead of buying a cheaper one and it not working. I'd rather spend the extra 5-10 bucks and know it will work. Only my opinion...
