If you have a hard time finding the faq. Do this. go back out to the main thread and look at the PINNED thread.

Forever.
The only reason the normal save game didnt last when you play GBA last time is because all the GBA cart you might have bought is pirated version.

Original cart can easily be deferentiated with their see through casing and their exuberence price.

DS uses memory to write read the save file, hence the cart does not have any battery inside. When you save, the save file is written into the memory card of the cart. ( I think ? )

Imbi Mario at the highest floor is said to provide good service. But since i last wrote, one of the best you can go for is beat_boyz. an online retailer on Lowyat net.

He can give you a full service of all your needed item and start you off on DS. His price is quite reasonable and he devlier the item to you.

Ok. Erm.

With the new solution available you do not need to buy a flashed ds or flash your ds.

Stay away from retailer that says they need to mod ur ds or any other thing.

Thousand apologies, I did not update the R4 magic onto my faq.

Flashing need to be done last time because flashing tricks the DS to boot games from slot 2 ( gba slot )

But with the new slot 1 solution EG R4,SuperCard Slot 1 and various others. There is no more need to flash your ds as all this carts can boot directly.

I agreed with you. Find price from 3 instead of listening to fanboy and supporter. EG me supporting Beat_boyz not coz of his price more of his toyourdoorstepdelivery

Hmmm...I prefer getting my games 2nd hand or at PA (mostly import titles). That way I get stuff cheaper but on the downside, have to wait smile.gif

Hi to all.

Im newbie here. Been playing GB from the black & white era until GBA. Little that i know about the new NDS and still don't own it, but i plan to buy it soon.

Just want to know whether the NDS that had been flashed/hacked, can it also play original game packs? No negative side effect?

TQ.

Nope. No side effect. But there is no need to flash your ds or anything. Further details is infringment of Forum rules.

I don't answer PM for this either. Sorry sad.gif
Google is your friend. Search for R4DS

I would be castrated, beheaded and then hang on the door of LYN as warning for others for answering this but wth eh?. First.
M3 lite ORIGINAL dont need battery. It needs a memory card. If your M3 lite does not utilize a memory card. I am pretty sure you bought something that is anything but M3 lite
