don't think there's a definitive emulator yet for the DS, so homebrew eg. writing your own stuff, isn't really that straightforward, from a testing point of view.

Okay guys seen a nintendo ds advertised on the net tonight comming supplied with a passcard 2and a movie player cart and 10`s off roms and only requiring an sd card, I take it this would indicate that this would be all that is required to play " back up " games off all the currant ds titles or is it ??!! or is this supercard a must ??

have read the link kindly supplied in the above post but to be honest am strating to get a bit bogged down by what is required and what is not and having been thru it all before with the psp ( downgrading etc, etc ) dont really want to give myself too many headaches all over again !!!

so basically would this package be everything required and is the passkey 2 and movie player cart worth paying over the odds for above the actual ral cost off a standard ds as opposed to the newer ds lite ??

Hello

All you need is a Superkey and a Supercard as mentioned above. I got mine from here: Cartridge Systems - cheapmod.net

I like the Supercard Lite as it fits flush with the bottom of the DS.
