I guess you could always use VLC's web interface (http://wiki.videolan.org/index.php/Web_Interface) and the DS browser.

yes, but only if you have either flashed your ds, or have booted up with a pass device (in the ds cart slot) of some sort.jko said:Wait, so the flast cart for the GBA slot actually runs DS homebrew games??
I'm a little confused.
Jefklak said:Barf_the_Mog: Supercard has best compatibility with DS roms, but M3 with homebrew. Supercard Lite doesn't stick out but M3 lite will be released in a couple of weeks. I say trash 'em both, and buy a G6 Lite if you cannot wait for the ninjapass solution. I don't like the friggin' superkey cards, so I'll wait.
I really hope the M3 Lite has cartridge shellsJefklak said:G6 Lite has a regular GBA cart if you don't have the DSLite
sure about that? ive heard m3 is the best for roms. not sure about homebrew, but it seems pretty random about what dev supports what (although m3/g6 and supercard seem to be the frontrunners).Jefklak said:Supercard has best compatibility with DS roms, but M3 with homebrew.

Is the DSLink available yet? How much does it cost?HeadsUpSevenUp said:The apps should be be fine because most of the homebrew just loads into the DS memory.
It's $125 for essentially a Passme, 512MB storage, and a USB port in SLOT-1.
I prefer the DSLink which also fits flush into SLOT-1 but uses microSD.
I have a 1GB microSD card so that will be great for Moonshell. And I'll have SLOT-2 available for a lite-sized rumble pack or (rumored) gyro paack. I'll buy those when homebrew starts developing for them. A vibrating DS alarm would be awesome or maybe it can rumble when I get a message on DS AIM?
Soul4ger said:I read everything in here, and I have no idea how it works. And I want to know. Does that make me dumb?
MoonShell is a media player, I have not used it, but there are several videos on youtube showing off it's functionality. I believe it can also do simple file manager stuffBarf_the_Mog said:Three things:
1.) That Moonshell software intrigues me. Could someone explain that to me or at least direct me to a website that could?
2.) I'm hearing different explanations from different people. M3 perfect seems to have better compatibility, but is it worth the extra $30 over Supercard?
3.) What's the most reliable and/or cheapest online place to purchase one of these cards?
Ah yes.Bluemercury said:
This uses micro-sd, not mini-sd.
Anyway is just ordered passcard3+m3 perfect mini-sd for me homebrew pleasure.......

About an hour less (max) playtime.
Gee: no hassle does not exist, but ds x-treme "should" bring it. M3/G6 require "hassle".
Homebrew
The 100% Homebrew Compatible statement was most probably miss-interpretation. It actually means "The guys behind DS-X are fully (100%) supporting the Homebrew Community" - Now i am not saying the DS-Xtreme is less compatible with homebrew then 100%, or more - I simply am saying the compatibility ratio on Homebrew has not been officially announced. However, i will most likely reveal more information on this in the following days.

Jefklak said:gkrykewy: as a MAC user, you'd be best with a removable media cartridge like M3 or Supercard wich uses CF, SD, miniSD or microSD.
yes, and as mentioned, m3 is the best for gba (with removable media at least). i got mine for gba, while thinking about getting a passcard in the future.WindyMan said:Just one question, though.

ds homebrew is sorta random, i think some stuff needs patching and some doesnt. basically if something requires to be patched, youre screwed without access to windows in some way (pc, or virtualization or bootcamp on an intel mac). gba is easy, pretty much everything works drag and drop, i dont think any homebrew needs patching that ive seen. ive had one problem, the m3 doesnt automatically create a save file. i ran their app on my pc and got the save file, its just a blank 1MB file named romname.dat. i have a copy of it on my mac and just rename it to whatever if i need it. firmware for the m3 involves putting a file in the root of the card and booting up the gba (and yes/no to an update dialog or something). mac/linux/whatever friendly.gkrykewy said:Some of these adapters seem to have proprietary PC-end software associated with them. What is the best solution for Mac users?
that guy also did a wacky tetris clone, used to be tetanus on drugs, but apparently he changed the name to lockjaw: the overdose. basically the playfield goes through a bunch of distortions, zooms, spins, etc.Jefklak said:- Luminesweeper yust made your PSP trashable!
well, thats just what a few more years on the market gets you. ds homebrew didnt really seem to have much momentum up until a little while ago as well, but it seems to be pretty healthy now (while gba seems to be dwindling). as for sites:Barf_the_Mog said:Man, in some ways, the GBA development scene is much better than the DS one. The system has been out for two years now, and all it does is eumlate other older consoles. Is there a site that has a large database of just homebrew games and apps?
Maybe you're thinking about this?Mejilan said:There was a wiki link that did a fairly decent job of breaking up the various DS and DSL firmwares, as well as the various means of accessing homebrew.
