[olaf]

Both blow.

Got something that's better in mind Olaf?

[Mooney]

I gave moonshell the ax and made dsorganize load from the center icon

Please, explain. I would like to do that as well.

 

Nice job guys. Very comprenhesive review. And I saw your reflection Mooney. :o :o

just remove the _DS_MSHL.nds then rename dsorganize.nds to _DS_MSHL.nds and have it in the root of the card.

R4 1.08 final firmware is out.

 

 

Kind of on the same topic, I'd like a slot 2 device; I've got the ds phat and I want gba compatibility, rumble, and ram expansion. Is there another slot-2 device that has ram, & rumble aside from the ez iv? if not, is there a ds phat version? if not, is it possible (easy/effective) to replace the shell with a standard gba one?

Very nice review. interesting stuff, makes me want to buy it now. As i feel more confident about the purchase of this product

 

Btw nice and toasty gloves

 

 

DSDoom works on the R4DS as I have it and ScummVM working perfectly.

Also, the R4DS has a new firmware update v1.08 which has a built in cheat function for games.

 

For GBA games, I just boot to my m3 perfect (2GB microSD) from the R4DS. The perfect combo =).

Currently there's nothing of that sort - only the EZ 3 in 1 has the RAM pak right now, and the only other card with rumble is the Supercard Rumble series, which don't play GBA games. I'm not aware of any other devices that have all three bundled in but have heard that one of EZ's competitors may bring out a device similar to the EZ 3 in 1. I'm not going to say who.. I'm just saying its a rumor.. whether its true or not.. only time will tell

I so hope it's true... and that it works with the R4...

The EZ 3 in 1 works with the R4 though.. so far they've got a patch for the Opera browser to use the RAM and there's a program to manage the GBA portion as well. The only thing left to cover is Rumble, and so far its on a game-by-game basis but there's a program in development to take care of that. There's a work around to get it to work on all games that support rumble as well.. however I haven't tested it myself so I can't say for sure that it works properly. Hopefully they do release an alternate to the EZ 3 in 1.. who knows though

[iq_132]

ModMyDS, PLEASE PLEASE GET SOME OF THESE! (when they're released)

It does?!? ARE YOU SURE? If so, I must buy one NOW!

[iq_132]

Yup, and someone just released a patcher for rumble & a gba flasher for it (to put gba romz on it)

They seem to be going for around $20 to $25 from what I've seen. Mine was $26 with shipping.
