DS Flash Equipment > Is my equipment enough to run homebrew code with? [Renamed]

#89290 - lemmayoshi - Sat Jun 24, 2006 12:52 am

So sorry if this isn't the right forum. I'm a noob when it comes to ds dev. Can you tell me if this is all that would be required to run homebrew?

CF:
(SuperCard CF - see Retailer Feedback)
Passme:
(PassKey 1 - see Retailer Feedback)
Memory stick to CF:
http://flashmemory-store.stores.yahoo.net/cf4in1.html

The reason I posted the MS to CF is because I have three gigabytes worth of those and no CFs. Thank you.

Don't mention individual stores outside the Retailer Feedback forum unless only one store carries a given product.

Before you buy anything, you'll also need to TakeMeOut to see which firmware version is installed on your DS. I'd also recommend buying a MAX Media Launcher instead of a PassKey.

I already did that, I have the first ds firmware.

that should work, you don't need anything else, except:
I don't know if anyone has ever tested a MS->CF adaptor with a Supercard before, so you're kinda in uncharted waters there. Plus the fact its gonna stick way out of your DS. I would recommend spending the $30 on a 256mb CF card (or even 512MB, you can find them on sale for under $30 sometimes)

I found a 256 MB CF card for 12 USD on a very popular auction site. You may be able to find bigger for cheaper.

Okay, thank you guys, I was thinking about the whole sticking out of the system thing, and I think I will just spend that money on a CF card. Thanks guys, that's all I wanted to know, this topic can be closed now if you wish.
