    Hey!
    I'm not sure if I can post it here...but anyway... :p

    I'm thinking of investing in a micro SD card for my new DS. Because this is my first time buying one for my DS - I wasn't sure how big of a memory card I would need. My initial thought was that, more the memory the better - but then I wasn't sure if I would need that much space since NDS roms usually don't exceed 150mb right? But I'm in a dilemma, since I might want to other media on my DS too. Also, can someone tell me about the battery life of the DS? How long can it stay on for or does that depend on what you're doing (playing games, watching movie, listening to music)?

    Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    They usually don't exceed 32 or 64 MB! Battery life for DS is about 3-4 hours depending on brightness, game etc. Also on the type of flashcart you have. It depends; 4GB is plenty enough to store everything, but it also depends if your flashcart is compatible with SDHC cards. What flashcart do you have?

    Thanks.
    I have a CycloDS Evolution, and it supports high capacity memory cards - so that's OK.
    I guess, if the DS can only last for 3-4 hours, then you probably wouldn't need that big of memory card then...

    Yeah 2GB and 4GB will be plenty enough unless you go on your DS 24/7.
