DS development > Data Transfer Speed of Different Slots

#48290 - Undefined Error - Mon Jul 18, 2005 8:38 pm

Pardon me if this is a horribly newbish question, but I had a question about the different methods of getting data into the Nintendo DS. I know that right now, as there are no DS flash carts, data is usually loaded from a GBA flash cart via PassMe or FlashMe or WifiMe. Well what's botheringMe is: How does the transfer rate of the GBA slot compares to the transfer rate on the DS cart slot, if such a thing is known? I realize this is really a moot point since the DS slot is as of yet unusable, but I was just curious, for my own knowledge and to get a comparison idea in my head. Incidentally- is it known yet what the maximum addressable space / maximum storage size of a DS card is? I guess I'm trying to understand what we miss out on by not being able to access the DS card slot yet. Thank you all in advance.
