so yesterday i was exploring around searching for the best price for nds and i finally found a shop in Leisure Mall (which i think most ppl won't know) which sells their nds lite for RM560 (without bargaining)
when i ask the shop owner , she said tat it can play homebrew
so is that a good price ?

NDS lite = RM550-699

To be able to use homebrew applications, you'll need additional software/hardware like Supercard, and you'll need to invest in a SD card too.. Your retailer/seller is trying to tell you that it is flashed.

Supercard + SD = Roughly RM200+/-

I think. Just helping out. Non homebrew user here.

i think the price is fairly cheap. most shop sell it for RM 600+. yeah, it is flashed and then u must have a supercard to play homebrew. sc around RM150+ and SD card around 100+

err mean i hav to get both supercard and sd too?

go sg.wang. IT floor most of them selling 540~570 (flash DSl), 140 (SClite) 120 (SDmicro 1G).

hm...Leisure Mall....... looks like going to close shop soon. i dont dare to buy there.....kekekeke

make sure u ask them to free as many game they can fit in to ur SDmicro card.

haha tat's true also looks like anytime will close down
but once again is it necessary to get both sc and sd?
sorry to ask but i'm clueless bout ndsl

its not really necessary unless u plan on using homebrew

it's better to buy the newly launch Supercard DS One, or Ninjapass.. it will fit into slot 1 (ds card) rather than using the normal supercard.. Pros:
- No need flashing / use flashme / passme to play ahem games..
- U can play nds games that interact with gba games..
- No need to convert ahem games that u've download..

just my 2 cents

YES, u need a SD to run with ur SC. (SD act as a memory to store homebrew)

for slot1, some brand also need SDcard to run with it.
the one can run without SDcard means u only have limited space to store homebrew.
in market now, the only slot1 i saw is DSlink ( http://www.ds-link.net/english/ ) at sg.wang IT floor selling at RM190.

myliew..
all the slot1 cart need the minisd right? or can they work without sd?

certain slot-1 have internal memory and no expandable memory slot...DS-X is 1 example...

well.. if you want slot 1 I got ninja pass at my store. using microSD

jason, did u try using ninjapass to run DSbrowser? does it work?

how much is the ninja pass?

So basically Slot 1 solution card can be used to play GBA games also?

tidak boleh........

what is homebrew ?

Homebrew, program that are made by user and distributed free online.

how much is a ndsl without flashed!

the one i got from in sg wang is rm500 not flashed...but it's christmas season...so dunno whether they will hike up the price...

flash price is how much arr? @DjiNn, mind to post your price here kah? thanks

mitodna

SC lite so cheap? O_O

I thought the standard pricing is around RM200 for SC lite, RM300 for M3?

i'm thinking of buying a pink ndsl for my little sister...is there any price difference for the diferent colors?

Nope. No price difference as of now methinks.

kool...is there anything i should be aware of when buying a new ndsl? any defects that i need to look out for? btw, what's all this microsd thing you guys are talking about? is it a media storage to save games? is it necessary? or is it just for homebrews? i only want to buy ndsl specifically for gaming purposes only...support ori n___n b

Just dead or stuck pixels.

one more thing, regarding the cracked hinge issue...is it a common problem or based on how you handle your ndsl?

Well, apparetly the problem is quite common among White DS. Have yet to heard it happen on Black. Not sure about pink. Handling also have a big impact on it. If you handle it roughly, then expect the DS to have bruises. One other thing is this, the DS needs to be wiped regularly. Finger print magnet the machine is.

I was to type something out about that, but you know.. on Wii..

Anyways, the affected was mainly the first batch of lite's in the states which had cracked hinges. Like rev said, the white. But now, ds is available in 4 types of region here. So get a japan, euro, or asian version to be safe

/tired

actually my jap unit also kena the hinge crack. so sad. Thus, i think its a random first batch thingy (jap or US). But as far as i know, the current batch now no problems.

/slap sihum for showing off his wii.
/steal sihum's Wii
/laugh at sihum

/cry cos this is all a dream and sihum will guard his wii with his life

But no comp at home..

/slapped

guys, my cousin has two dead pixel on his ndsl.. is there any way to cure that? potion? antidote?

u can try the pixel fixer homebrew....but i read it could go worse.....

change new screen

wa... can ar?!! how much does it cost?

yea can.
i take out a dead dslite lcd n change it .

Nds unflashed one how much at da moment? and usually da package comes wit one free game or games sold separately? we all support ori so dowan homebrewed programs..haha..

free game ar? got... i think either some real lausy ds game or a gba ahem catridge

With the crappy 3 to 1 exchange rate we have against the Dollar or Yen, you won't be going far with your DS without using them flashcarts. Enjoy your 120 bux gaems kekeke (I bet them americans wouldn't be so fervert in supporting original games if they're also sold at USD$120 per cartridge)

hehe i support ori ds game until now

wtf are you talking about?

actully, there are lots of forumers here supporting ori including me and not to mention those who own flash card also buy ori like hamtarox and reveur.

And there are also the crazy type like andy_lhc which own flashcart. Play flashcart and buy all original game for "display" and "collection" purposes.

really ar? wah,so hardcore meh?

most of my ori game r seal .
display n collection purpose .

wtb> gc papermario uc/jp (original) any1 want let go ?

wah,another unbelievable user.

hehe,selling flashed ndsl while u r buying ori?

wah....got ppl shoot me...its karma...i shoot hamtarox at ds gathering thread ..someone shoot me back....

i buy onli those i think r worth my money for collection ...got lots of games i didnt buy osola....my PS2 games much more...cos some really worth buying la...
