How the heck do i get a flash cart, ive been to every electronic store in my city to try and find 1 for the ds, all of the say that "they r only in japan and china, they wont come here for another 2 years!", where can i find one. and wat is 1 realy used for?

Flash carts are specially designed slot 1 or slot 2 cartridges that allow you to store and run DS code. For most Slot 1 devices, you're DS needs to be flashed to use them, although some newer ones (Like the Supercard DS, DS-X, and M3 DS) don't need them. If you're using a Slot 2 card, you need a NoPass or Flashed DS.
Popular brands of flashcarts are Supercard, M3 (if you really want GBA support), and NeoFlash (stay away. Pure garbage). If you want to run pirated DS games, make sure whoever makes your card updates the firmware regularly, and releases a new patcher regularly. Running DS ROMs from Slot 2 means they have to be patched first (such as with the Supercard patcher, or the M3 patcher). Slot 1 cards support clean DS roms with no patching. Slot 1 cards, however, are generally more expensive, and have problems with clean roms at times. Wait a few months for slot 1 cards to get better. As far as DS homebrew goes, the Supercard is the best choice as the SC team released the FAT drivers for the Supercard line, so they're well supported. If you want to play GBA games, then the M3 is for you. However, the M3's normally cost nearly twice as much as the Supercard's. Neoflash is garbage, but it's expensive garbage, often times costing the same as the better supported M3 line. M3's homebrew support isn't the greatest as they often times don't release the FAT drivers for their cards, so Chism's fat lib doesn't support them. However, if you're buying a card just to play GBA and DS games, then it's a non-issue.

ok but now what stores would carry them?

**iTrunks** · 12-31-2006

Divineo China - Electronics Without Frontiers. You best bet would be to order it off of that site.

I'm a newb when it comes to this stuff and even I know you're a damn idiot. Why the hell will they sell this stuff at best buy? It's not official nintendo equipment, please know what you're talking about first then say something smart with an attitude (kind of like what i'm doing now).

That site is good, or you can go to extremedeals.com and get this:

The only problem is this place takes a really, really, long time for shipping to arrive.

u probably have 2 order one online. make sure u hav some roms first.

mr_smity · 03-21-2007

well, i dont know where the **** u guys live, but we did get 1!
and if the dont sell not completly official nintendo stuff then they should sell not completly official madcat PS2 controllers there, but they do!
y dont u try calling a store before assuming that they ****ing dont sell something..... ok good
and you dont needa get off line, just call around ur gamestop, best buys, and other stores that sell DSs, they could have them.
