Turn your DS into a multimedia system!

[Crawler]

Datel has sent out word that it's MAX Media Dock for the Nintendo DS and DS Lite can now be found on store shelves! It includes the exclusive MAX Media Player, enabling you to play MP3s, view JPEGs, and stream movies from a Compact Flash Card - supporting sizes up to 8GB!

However, what's really interesting is that Datel openly promotes the execution of homebrew software as a feature, with a support site online that points newbies to the right places to find homebrew games, emulators and software.

The MAX Media Dock is available in three versions - a cardless version that comes only with the Media Player and Media Dock, a 1GB CF Card version and a 2GB CF Card version. The different versions retail for £29.99, £54.99 and £84.99 respectively. If you're not in the UK, you can buy the MAX Media Dock in the CodeJunkies shop.

Datel's device seems to be a very versatile piece, and with the almost aggressively advertised homebrew support, it might open up the DS homebrew scene even for people who aren't familiar with it yet, thus increasing it's popularity.

No I think you still need a PassMe this thing just lets you store music and pictures...it's like a big memory card....now that I think about it...you might jsut need this to use hombrew I'm not 100% sure though.

Eh, I might try this out, but from pass experiences with Datel it might be a load of junk. Although I am probably wrong . Thanks for the news Crawler. Datel, always seems to come out with something revolutionary.

Datel always releases things without working out all the bugs. Like their Action Replay DS/GBA, it sucks!

I won't bother getting this, i'll use a flash cart for DS homebrew instead.
