DS Flash Equipment > Slot2 - Way to use as RAM Expansion Cart?

#150186 - another world - Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:05 am

I wanted to give the DS Web Browser by Opera a try, and I was curious if there was a way to get my slot2 (m3 lite) to function as the DS RAM Expansion card?

Thanks,
-AW

Didn't you get that 8 MB RAM expansion when you bought the DS Browser?

It's still oftentimes convenient to leave a slot-2 homebrew device in the DS and use it with the slot-1 Opera DS cartridge rather than having to pak-swap the slot-2 card all the time. I do it all the time, so while I still have my Opera RAM expansion with me, I rarely ever use it since it's quicker and easier to just use my Supercard instead.

another world, look at the "Opera RAM" program Chishm released in a post at http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=14039. It appears to do what I believe you're asking for.
