Hey all, I'm kinda new to this, so I need some help.

This website was advertised in the latest PopSci to be able to turn a DS into a 'Pod imposter. From reading the other forums, I can tell that theres alot more to offer.

Anway, my question is simple and kinda n00by.

Will reprograming my DS affect how it plays regular games? Will it inibit from playing regular DS games, or its WiFi connections?

If the answer is no for the above question, then could you please tell me where i can find this code, and any instructions pertaining to how I can implement it.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is in the wrong forum. = )

Darn right. See wiki wiki wiki.

No. DS Game Cards will work on a homebrew-enabled DS.

No. You can still use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and homebrew on the same DS. Nintendo doesn't ban DS homebrewers from Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection the way Microsoft bans Xbox homebrewers from Xbox Live.

Do you want a list of DS homebrew programs, or do you want to know how to write your own? Either way, first you'll need a memory card to store the player software and the MP3s. Do you want just DS homebrew, or do you want both DS and Game Boy Advance homebrew?

Moved to DS Flash Equipment. I also encourage you to read the sticky topics in DS Flash Equipment.
