    I started a topic like this before and all say, that the n5 is sh*t!

    The r4 and the m3 are both good, but the best is Cyclo DS. After my thread i buyed an Cyclo and im happy: all work fine

    sorry, I didn't search because of the names. Figured it'd be a pita to find on the forum
    "search- m3" "search- r4" it seemes weird to me.

    ok, cyclo. i'll look it up.

    On these things, i can use a compact-sd in the gig range? and have more than one game dled onto the card? the gui will let me choose which one to play?

    And this'll work with the hosted ds roms on my tied for first favorite site? "here" other is "tauniverse.com" total annihilation!!

    Edit: what about ram enhancment? I don't require rumble, its tacky on handhelds.

    R4/M3 can only use non-SDHC micro SD cards which are very hard to find over 2GB, CycloDS can use SDHC cards which go up to 8GB I think

    N5 is fake.

    mind you this is also only for ds games, thats my only requirement.
    Also being able to store multiple games on one sd would be nice. using their menus to switch betwwen whatever game i decide to play. Having to pc the card to switch games would become a pita, same with simply buying tons of low storage sd's to hold the games "single game per card"

    ??? thanks for helping me understand the specs.
    This has wii compatability? and damn hot stuff. :) will look like my xbox "original, soft modded" with over 300 games on the stock hdd.

    Being poor this stuff helps with the depression :) ;D my gf loves playing the ds.

    Remember, the N5 is a fake clone of the R4, it uses the same firmware, and it will brick your DS in some way. Even read the review on GBAtemp.net.

    ;) this is better than a review. I will probably buy the cyclods thing. It seems to cost a bit with the addition of the storage, I'll comparison shop for it and post results in a few months upon purchase.

    I am an uber comparison shopper, damn economy.

    I'm going cyclo. so I can harass the two guys if it sucks. ;) It seems pro enough and they are stating that they will be "taking advantage of the extra space in future updates" Adding features to their Program.

    I'm looking foreward to this, I love modding and tinkering. Working on a game called total annihilation for over a year now, modding it and building a compilation. :) I'll post it in the pc section of the forum later. Ok? And sorry for not doing a thorough search for similar topics.

    Edit: there are three versions of cyclo.
    http://www.cyclopsds.com/cgi-bin/cyclods/engine.pl?page=products

    evolution, mini and micro. I assume the later two are prefrence and can be based on price of carts. I'll research specs, in a few min.

    On your place i would by Cyclo DS Revolution on www.amazon.com (amazon.de/ru/nl/fr...) wich includs 2 GB micro sd card

    thanks because I still don't get all of it. They all run the same OS difference being the type of media ???

    don't forget .jp and whatever other thousand languages amazon and wiki come in. I'll post my best price later.

    Edit: searching, there is also something called edge and some others "fyi" The cyclods doesn't include "browser" software? Its not nessesary but curiosity.

    Can't find it on amazon, can't find it under $51 and only see it for a bit of a higher price packed with a 1gb micro card. still looking.

    I can give you the link to the german link but the cyclo DS is multilingual, so it´s no different:

    http://www.amazon.de/NDS-Modul-Cyclo-DS-Evolution-inkl/dp/B0016OGVHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1215456001&sr=8-1

    And if you want a browser you can download the opera-internet-explorer-rom from this site^^

    if you mean the official nintendo browser (opera) then it unfortunately doesn't function without a ram expansion pack or a 2nd flashcart in the other slot.

    sry i dont know that.

    And the Cyclo DS is also avaiblet with other micro-sd-cards on this site:

    http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_ss_w?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cyclo+DS&x=0&y=0

    (hope you can translate the 2 german words^^)

    I have a pc, no net on ds is fine, just curious.

    Weblingo? google website translator
    Cheap as possible because I am buying this -instead- of ds games. :'( We want my sims and carnival games and cooking mama 2? and mario 64ds and mario brothers ds and cake mania 1.

    Dunno, english stuff to fill a 2gig card. with 16mb games? ???32mb? A LOT

    if you put on both pokemon games, FF3, FF4, FFTA2, it fills up a lot faster than the 8, 16, 32 MB games.

    use the trimming software to make 8 MB like 4 or 6, and 32 close to 17.

    and the cyclo evo handles trimmed games so don't worry.

    trimming aka compression such as virtualboy ??? handling .zip files mmm the ff games, forgot about them and added content ??? I have poke pearl. Ok, well I'll get it in a little, $$$'s tight thats why I havent donated or anything. car=important job= important food= you know.

    2gig approx. 2,000 divided by 32 = approx 60 games. not as good as my stock xbox hdd with over 300 gba and such.

    did the conversion on the german seller on amazon. Unless it really is 72,00 which is like 11,000 usd i converted it into 72.00 eur into 113.00 usd +/- change

    yeah... i'm probably going to buy from dealwoot.com
