#60324 - scytheX - Wed Nov 09, 2005 5:46 am

1. Could i use my 256 EZ-flash advance cart to play DS games if so how would it work

2. Wheres a good place to buy Compaq Flash cards for a damn good deal

3. If i do happen to buy an m3 should i buy the bundle that comes with the m3 and the passme for 100 bux from kicktrading.ca?

4. Would i be able to play games online by just having this?

5. is m3 the most reliable flash device for the DS so far?

6. Since i live in the US would i have to pay Canadian dollar for the items listed on the site or would my money automatically convert to CA?

I cant answer all the questions, but Id say the M3 is awesome to the max and I would order from Divineo.cn because its a little bit cheaper because its in China (M3 w/Passkey for $90 +$5 shipping). But if you did order from Canada you would pay in American currency which is like $100 (you can pay in Canadian currency if you really wanted, but you would end up paying the same anyways). And I buy my flash cards at places like Best Buy, Office Depot, and NewEgg.com

I actually just got a really good deal on a 1 gig compact flash card on eBay...new, sealed, unopened card and everything, a good quality card (Kingston, not some weird off brand), so I would suggest checking out eBay.

Well, not sure what you mean...I mean, you can play Nintendo DS games using Nintendo's Onnline service later this month, but if you mean DS homebrew using wifi and the internet...it's definitely getting there. :) It sounds as though sgstair has progressed by leaps and bounds in the last few weeks (and yes, if DS homebrew uses Wifi and you can run homebrew, you could use it).

I rather like mine...for the most part runs just about any DS/GBA thing I've tried, including DS homebrew that usually requires a flashcart to run, and the most homebrew that uses the compact flash card. Pretty handy if you want a device that can run just about anything.

I got mine from the site Jakelshark mentioned, but from the US section. Came out to about the same as his, maybe slightly more because I got kind of hosed on the shipping cost.
