Actually they compress really well, that's their uncompressed size. Most of them range from 1-50meg

thanks, wow thats pretty good ay i thought it'd be heaps bigger so what size cards does every1 have?

Get a flash cart thand can take SDHC cards. This means that you can put micro sd cards which are bigger that 4GB.

Old cards like the R4 can't take micro sd cards bigger that 4GB.

A few good (and cheap) flash carts are the Acekard2 and the DSTT. Good place to get them is http://www.dealextreme.com/ . You can check the reviews there too.

I've had the Acekard2 for about 2-3 months and all roms that I've tried have worked with it.

Also with flash carts you can download "Moonshell" which will let you play music/movies/pictures on your DS.

4gb is overkill. 8gb would be stupid. Unless ofcourse you play movies on your ds, but the quality won't be fantastic. My 2gb sd card is more than enough.

 

[blakegman]

i have 1gb and thats plenty for games. Especially considering you usually get bored of some and just replace them when new better ones come out

 

[stazi]

extra space is good for scummds emulated gaymes though

 

[BIGTYMA]

is there any good homebrew out there for the ds? ive only got ds organise.

 

[stazi]

haven't really used any homebrew programs apart from a music player.

 

[BIGTYMA]

is the ds any good as a music player?

 

[stazi]

well the console is large and chunky, so i don't know why you'd use it as an mp3 player. doubt the sound quality would be good, either.

 

[jumb]

Yeah, I'd say no for the relative portability/storage/price of devices that do solely that.

 

[MysticalElement]

hey...umm so what are the benefits of having tht card to dl stuff onto apart from the games...?

oh yeh and how do u actually put that card in....... coz i reeli dont have any idea :S lolz sorrry for the noobness on the topic

 

[jumb]

It goes in the slot 1 (where the ds cartridges go). It's really simple, if you see it you'll understand straight away.

crap.. i was jsut thinkin do u rkn they'll do sumfin to the new ds's comin out so it wont work :|

 

[666_blessings]

I very much doubt it. These things have been around for almost as long as the DS has.

They're starting to release funky copy protection I think, but I doubt theyll do anything to the actually DS. Unlike the x-boxes and that, there's no compulsary way to update firmware.

It's up to you decide if the minor risk is worth the minor cost.

I do agree that the R4 is outdated these days, cyclods is a much newer model and does the same job.

We're all talking about the R4 because we got ours +1yr ago and it's what we have. So just a heads up if you are looking.
