My DS

Desmo · 22-09-2006, 10:18

Got some new toys this morning

A normal DS...

Open it up just to check...

Add some parts...

And you've got yourself a SuperCard DS

Now I can "aquire" some games, pop them onto the 1GB microSD card, pop it in the SuperCard and away I play

What a fantastic idea. I'll have to do the same

Desmo · 22-09-2006, 10:45

Well I can show you where to het the stuff

lol.
It really is cool though as the SuperCard Lite doesn't show one bit, it looks just like the GBA cover piece

It's also the first time I've seen a microSD card

My god they're tiny.

I think my google skills (or looking in my sent PM folder) may help me find the relevant URL

The SuperCard lite wasn't even on the site when I bought my stuff so I have an ugly blue card sticking out the bottom of the DS, but I can cope with that for the 'discounted' games I'm playing.

I've got most of the stuff I need for this now, just not the SD Card reader. Have to get that sorted sometime next week I think.

I didn't realise you could do that, spent loads on Jodie's DS Lite over the last couple of days. So as i understand it, you buy that Supercard thingy and a memory card then you can aquire games and stick them on the memory card and play them? Where do i get a supercard?

That was the one I ordered by mistae the other week. My bro-in-law is having that though so no need to send it back

Basically, yep

You need to run the DS ROM's through some software on the PC first to make the SuperCard compatible but it takes seconds. Then pop them onto the microSD card (sorted into folders if you wish) and then pop the microSD in the SupeCard. Turn on the DS and a menu comes up with the games listed. Select one and it loads within seconds and is playing as normal

You also need to add a PassKey (looks like a nomal game card on my pic) which slots into the game card slot. This makes the DS look at the SuperCard to launch games.

Approx Prices:
PassKey = £16
SuperCard Lite = £38
microSD 1GB = £23

Very nice, think i'll cancel a pre-order i have and get one of those instead. Where can i buy them from? Also, how many games fit on a 1GB card?
