DS Flash Equipment > Which should I buy? NDS.

#65012 - wildex999 - Thu Dec 29, 2005 2:23 pm

Hello there,
I'm going to try to start developing games for my NDS(Sounds fun) but I'm wondering what I have to buy.

My NDS was pre-ordered at lik-sang.com when it first came out, I got the JAP version by the way. So i think it's an early version. But I have been playing Mario Kart DS, and some say that the game upgrades your DS?

Annyway, I have been looking at the: Neo-Max 1G ig.
Is that the right one for me, and do I need annything else beside it?

Thanks in advance ^^

All Mario Kart does is store the wifi settings in your firmware. This does not conflict with the newest version of FlashMe at all.

So the Neo-Max 1G ig. is a gooc choise? It will work?

#65028 - MaHe - Thu Dec 29, 2005 5:29 pm

No. It's a highly commercial product.
It would work but its a day-light robbery.

It's kinda cheaper to buy a M3 or a FlashCart (like 1g X-ROM) and a PassME.

Could you point me to where i get those?

#65046 - wildex999 - Thu Dec 29, 2005 9:44 pm

*Sorry for double post*
I have found these, would these work?
-EZ Flash 3, 1Gbit - backup flash kit, USB, RTC (GBA/SP), 1M save, SMS, EZ-DISK
-EZ Pass 2 for NDS

The look good.

Here (International):

PassMe (for upgrading FlashMe = homebrew)
http://shop.01media.com/en/info.asp?ProductID=16519 (37? = 44$)

PassKey2 (= PassMe2)
http://shop.01media.com/en/info.asp?ProductID=16529 (29? = 34$)


Cart
1Gb http://shop.01media.com/en/info.asp?ProductID=16231 (149? = 176$)
2Gb http://shop.01media.com/en/info.asp?ProductID=16232 (169? = 200$)

Also other carts will work.

That was the exatkt site i was looking at just now, but the passme is just an upgrade.

#65054 - MaHe - Thu Dec 29, 2005 10:26 pm

Xtreme, sorry, but that's just the lamest site-shop for NDS homebrew of 'em all.

Get a PassME here: http://www.dspassme.com or here http://www.natrium42.com and then buy yourself a FlashCart or SuperCard/M3 (recommended since upgradable) from here: http://www.kicktrading.ca

#65055 - wildex999 - Thu Dec 29, 2005 10:27 pm

I was hoping to get both parts from the same site/shop becouse I have to ship to norway, and I don't want ot pay 2 shippings and import stuff.


EDIT:
-M3/G6 PassKey
-EZ-Flash III (2G) Flash Set

Will that work?

Then buy a SuperPass ( a commercial PassME ) from KickTrading and you're all set :)

#65061 - wildex999 - Thu Dec 29, 2005 11:06 pm

Will
-M3/G6 PassKey
Work? They don't have the Superpass there right now, and the M3/G6 PassKey is just 1$ more expensive ;)

You can better get the EZ-Flash II 512Mb or II 1Gb because it has more SRAM save needed for some games. For homebrew the EZ-Flash 128Mb is good enough. If you have a newer Nintendo DS you also need a passme2 or EZ-Pass2 with the right code written on it. (You need to stick a supported original Nintendo cartridge in the back before it works).
