Hi,
First of all i'm sorry but i'm french so my english is not so good ^^

I would like to know, what gba flash card is the best with a passme2
because i'm lost with all reference.
I want to buy a passme2 (natrium42 website) and i just have a metroid Prime demo FR.
I don't know how code I need in the passme...

(I don't want a neoflash kit because i don't agree at all with their philosophy...)

Thanks a lot for all the answers.

Nats.

1. Ask Natrium42 if he can sell you custom programmed PassME2 (for EUR version of MP:H demo).
2. You have three choiches:

- SuperCard

The cheapest option. You can pick up a SD or CF version.
Some homebrew may cause trouble, so beware.

- M3 Perfect adapter

Will work with every homebrew. Probably. I recommend the CF version, since SD can cause some trouble

- the classic FlashCarts

They fit to GBA slot perfectly though they're expensive and quite useless.
You won't be happy with 'em, believe me.

First of all, stop apologizing for your English, you type it better than many native-born English speakers on this board.

In response to MaHe:
You are correct. I regret buying a flashcart. I bought one when I was a noob to the DS homebrew scene, and had such a bad experience trying to get it to work swear words could have been used. I'd reccomend a SuperCard CF.
It works with almost all homebrew as far as I know. And hey- not all homebrew works with all storage options.

oohh thanks for your answers.

So i will look for a M3.
If i need i can custom the passme2, since i have seen the method.

Thanks a lot.

Nats

PS: i will give you my opinion whan i will test the solution ^^

Nope. According to DarkFader's PassMe2 compatibility chart, it'd be like making a PassMeteos2: the magic bytes just aren't there.

Sorry but i don't understand your last answer.. could you explain more simply for me? ^^

And just an other question, with the M3 adapter they sell a passkey... Is there a difference between passme and passkey because they say that we don't need any original game for this.....

????? <= it's a screenshot of my brain at the moment :)

To put it simply, there are some Nintendo DS original games for which PassMe2 will never work.

Ohh oky :) thanks

And there is some information about the reverse for DS because i know a little about X86 reverse and windows reverse.

But it must be very interesting for the DS.
