Hey guys, I need advice from some pros on this one. I really want a DS, and have very little knowledge. I do know i need an M3 (whatever that is), a card reader and a flash card of some type. As you can tell by reading that I have no idea what I am talking about.

1.Do I need a certain model DS, certain version?
2.What is the most cost effective combo of things i need to play DS backups as well as GBA roms?
3.Any places you recommend for these?

Sorry for the noob q's. I read a few threads on aD but there was so much conflicting info Im more confused now than before. Thanks guys!

no any model ds can be used

you can flash or not flash make no diff

i use a supercard with a flashed ds but use to use a pass me but it sticks out alot then you still need an origanl cart as well

if i can play ds roms it will play gba roms
i think there is even a web browers now unsure if you can use it as a rom
roms are really small compard to say psp games and very easy to find but mostly on emule i find

im in uk so cant help on where to get from

Yeh, boobooman said it all. I used supercard but it wasn't to fitting in style, so I got a Dev kit. With the Dev kit, its a 512mb so you can put alot in there, and also you can hook it directly to your PC and I heard you can play roms off your PC, but I had no luck with that.

Price wise, DS can go from $80-170, dont go for the lite version, nothing special. The Dev kit is about $120+. Roms, yeh, I use emule too. But there are alot of sites out there, just avoid those ads and spyware. I never flashed my DS, so I have no clue on that.

Best combo to go for is a M3 lite, since it dont stick out. And get a used DS from EB games for $80. So total cost would be about $160

to flah it is easy all you need is a prog called flash me (like a rom) and a paper clip but proberly a 2% of brickin it as it need to be shorted

last time i looked there was alot of diff cart out just make sure you dont get a fake one the supercard can take up 2 a 2 gig sd card or you can get a mini sd or a compat flash i would image most people have a sd card foating about these days if not not that much now

and i just love training my brain and the added extra of ffiii this month plus many more

ok so here is what i was thinking:

M3 microSD = passcard 3
1 gig micro sd card

Then im good to go right? Boobooman will a 1 gig card work ok, or is it too big?
