[DS] Universal DS Homebrew thread. Fucking cheapskates.

I've noticed a lot of people suggesting getting microSD cards that are made in Japan. Does it really matter that much?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And I can believe that, even though I haven't played a ROM of the games. I have an original Portrait of Ruin, and even it gets slowdown when I pull off certain moves.
I bought the Adata 4 gig card from Newegg for $20. Best buy didn't have anything close to decent brands or decent prices, and that was the best online deal I could find.
I would've liked to pick up an 8 gig, but they cost more than the CycloDS, running about 80-90.

Annnnyways, I finally got a CycloDS. I haven't had anybody to test download play with yet, but I haven't had ANY problems playing games and online play works good.
I downloaded lameboy and ran a few games on it. Some don't work that great, but it's decent.
I like DS organize, and the IRC client it has is spunky. Too bad I don't take my DS everywhere.
Also tried out SnemulDS, and nothing seemed to work right. Has anybody had much luck with the SNES emulators?

I plan on picking up a 3-in-1 for my DS Fat soon enough, so I can play GBA games.

Any suggestions where to buy the CycloDS?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hell, the DS can't even emulate GBA games from Slot 1.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

CycloDS is overpriced if you just want to play some games. My suggestion is now pointing towards the AceKard2. It's $20 at dealextreme.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
