If you own a flashcard for the DS, we need to talk.
 

First of all, I cannot believe I didn't get one sooner. 1 card, the entire DS library at my disposal. We own 3 DS', and all 3 have cards now.


Second, does anyone else use Rominator? It is an application for your computer that makes organizing your roms insanely easy. It trims them, can backup your save files, updates your cheat file and more. I highly suggest using it. It's free, but if you donate $2 to the guy you unlock some bonus features. Here, from their website.


Rominator is a tool available for Mac OS X and Windows that is designed for making management and organization of your backed up Nintendo DS Games easy. It allows you to easily store your games in the application, view all of it’s information, organize the way you want, and even get them transferred over to your backup card with merely clicks of a button. To make management easy, many different features have been implemented into Rominator to enhance your experience:

* Light uncluttered interface
* Organize your game lists the way you want in as many lists desired
* Sort or filter based on game data (such as name, number, size, country, etc)
* Supports .nds, .zip, and .rz (Rominator Zip) files
* Ability to view game information
* Retail game database updated weekly
* Verify your games to make sure they will work properly
* Instant Game Trimming to cut off unused space in your games
* Save Game backup for your precious save files
* Flash Card management
* Cheat Database Updating for your flash card
* And much more!

Yeah got an M3 card a while ago and it is sexy as hell. I shall try this utility out.

Doesn't work with my card. I got one a few years back and it works in the GBA slot.

Still though, for anyone who hasn't tried it out, they should get the homemade
Flashback port, got me through a long bus journey for Christmas.

Link me up, Hasney.

Also, don't forget the SCUMM VM port. Sam & max or Monkey Island on the go with touchscreen? Hells Yes!

This might sound a little retarded, but can somebody explain what exactly this is, and how it works? Rep for answers

:)

yeah, hacking the handhelds has always been a fucking paradox to me.

Modern flash carts are basically just printed DS game cartridges that have some kind of storage space and the ability to play backup roms. Original mods for the DS required to flash a new firmware on the DS itself, but that isn't needed anymore. It's really really simple.

It's cake dude. Drag and drop and rom onto the memory card and go.
