what do I need to play homebrew ds games, DS Games, and GBA/NES/SNES games on my DS?

@ mr_hanky

By new DS, do you mean the DS Lite? Will Passkey2 work with a Japanese-imported DS Lite?

Thanks.

 

Yes the passkey2 does work with the DS Lite, but when I said new i was also refering to the old style DS as all the newer models now have a different firmware which prevents the passkey1 from working.

 

Awesome. I'll have to do a bit more reading, but it looks like I'll be buying an M3 setup sometime this week.

 

me too.i'll buy m3 adapter sd with passkey 2 from divineo

how do you play ds games on it though? just download them adn transfer?

 

lol, was in the middle of replying to your first post

anyway, yes they will work.

To play the games on it you just transfer them to the SD card using the software that comes with the M3.

 

lol thanks man. can i use action replay and also can i play gba games on it? one more thing can i use generic sd cards from ebay?

 

You cannot use action replay on it as far as I know.

Yes you can play GBA games on it, I have a few on my M3.

Chances are that the generic cards off eBay will work fine, however I will not give a firm answer to this as there are some branded SD cards that don't work, so obviously there will be some unbranded cards that will work, and some that won't.

 

what do you guys use? is there any cheap ones?

 

If your asking about cheap memory cards, I got a freebie 32MB Kodak CF that works

I also have a 512MB Kingston CF that works.

I also know that my friends Kingston 1GB SD card works in the M3 SD.

I find Kingston is a reasonably cheap brand name that seems very compatable with the M3 products.

You could also try Sandisk products.

 

is gb prefferable or will 512 mb work? how many games can you put in 512? also does this work on ds lite?

 

i meant 1 gb...

 

i found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/PASSCARD-2-FOR-...ryZ18807QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

would this work or is it different?

 

Yes that passcard will work. (didn't realise it had been released already)

And wether you want 1GB or 512MB depends on your budget, and what you will use it for.

My 512 currently has 10 DS games, 3 GBA games and several hombrews on it. However if you also wanted to store music and video on it, you may want to consider getting a 1GB. (I don't need music or video as I use my PSP for that)

The amount of games you can fit on will vary depending on the filesize of the games.

 

i just wanted a few ds games at a time so if you could fit 10 ds games on 512 then it's good. so is this all i need then

then an sd card then after that i am good to go right.

 

Actually that link is for the CF version...but get the SD version:

http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-ds-m3sdp2

and an SD card then yes, thats all you need

 

it says ships within 7 days so i'm guessing it's out of stock. am i right?

 

Sort of, it means they're currently out of stock but are getting new stock within the 7 days.

You could try kicktrading.ca:
http://www.kicktrading.ca/index.php?cPath=27&osCsid=b8a8760a408cc38411b484e02375ad6c

That link should bring a list of all M3 adapters and wether they are in stock or not.

I've never used kicktrading as I live in the UK so divineo.co.uk is a much better option for me.

 

got my supercard from kicktrading took 3 days to get to arizona.
