DS Flash Equipment > I need a confirmation

#43487 - amrum - Tue May 24, 2005 12:43 am

Hello every one

This is my first message here.
I need a confirmation, to play commercial games demos like polarium, i just need a specific WIFI card (ralink RT2560 + a pc powered with electricity & a DS for the jokers that wanted to answer that ) & some files: modified drivers for the wifi card & firefly wifi-me program, that's all right ?

What kind of electricity?

You will also need a GBA flash card to store the program you will upload to the DS.

At least until you first flash your DS, should you choose to flash the firmware, and really, that unlocks the real potential of the custom wireless drivers so you probably want to do this. :)

Hey i dont want to flash my firmware, i want to keep my DS intact :)

As I understand it, neither flashed firmware nor a flash cart is needed to run signed demos (for example, Polarium) with WMB.

It's a confirmation of what u understood i need :) *before ordering a WIFI card*

crossraleigh is correct. To download and play commercial, signed, demo's you do not need to flash your firmware and you do not need a GBA flash cartridge.

You do need all the wireless things mentioned previously (correct card, driver, wmb.exe).
