Title: Bad news for Flash Cards users
Post by: Zx on November 09, 2008, 12:41:57 PM
Looks like flash cards don't work with the DSi. There's a guy who tested 20 Flash Cards and no one of them worked.

Then I will keep my DS Lite >.>;

Luckily for me, I don't use Flash Carts.  :D

With that SD Card port, though, and some messing around with exploits, it could be possible to get PSP style homebrew going on the DSi, though.

Stay vigilant for now.

The Wii has a SD card slot too, right? Any chances to link them somehow?

Possibly, but not overly likely. At any rate, the Wii's packing the Homebrew Channel, which works just as fine.

I hope the Homebrew channel starts becoming easier to apply into the wii.

Easier than it already is?

Also, further proof that hackers are fast.

That is cool.

Also, the Homebrew Channel isn't easy to put on the Wii if you don't Have Twilight Princess.

If you own a Wii and do not own Twilight Princess, you deserve a boot to the head.

I used to own TP (3 times, don't ask), but hey

RENT IT

You STILL deserve a boot to the head, unless manual camera control and the sun rising in the East means enough to warrant a GCN purchase, no Wii should be without Twilight Princess.

Mirror mode is for right handed [Top Spin]s.

*smacks Nekomata with his magical talking fish*

Granted I don't get why they couldn't just mirror Link instead of the whole freaking game, but Helm Splitter without the nunchuck is far more wrong than mirror mode.

I used to think that, too.

But those dungeons. They're no fun at all.

Anyway, when all was said and done, I got rid of it because I'm hoping the new LoZ for Wii that Miyamoto hinted at as "being in development" will top TP.

I have the same hope for SMG2, if that's coming, but I kept SMG1 due to the fact that there might be some key experiences in SMG1 you may not get from SMG2 (Mario games do that).

>manual camera control
...you couldn't in the Wii version? Don't need it, anyway.

Flash carts and such were already confirmed long befor the DSi came out that they would not work on it.

Great, here i was hoping to replace my broken DSlite with a DSi... Ah well, i can still put the microsd on a SD then pop it into the DSi.
Won't be long until we get better Snes emu,nes emu etc. and load roms from the sd slot.
So, Nintendo just made it possible for more people that own a SD card and a DSi to download games and play them. :/
And Nintendo made the DSi to prevent flash cart uses? Well, that just backfired.  8D

I own TP, but it's the Gamecube version (the -original- version, thanks much).  I didn't have a Wii when it came out.

I've used a flashcart or two to test games to see if they are worth buying but overall its not a big loss to me, i know they are just going to come up with something new, who knows maybe some of this can be fixed with a simple firmware update,

Ahahaha, it's just a matter of time. I bet a bag of peanuts for a working flashcard before the end of this year.

Interesting little shpiel showing the innards and detailing some functions of the DSi:
http://hackmii.com/2009/01/dsibrew/

A note to those eyeing the Acekard 2i: It works only in the DSi's "legacy mode", meaning it has no access to the DSi's extra features.  Means slower clock speed, less RAM, no cameras, no SD, no console storage.  It's basically the same thing as running a GBA cart on a DS Lite/original.

I'm curious as to whether or not the DSi can even boot into its native mode from the cartridge slot.  Time will tell, I suppose.
