Has anyone picked one of these up? I was reading up on them and was a little unclear how good they were. I have never really been big into the rom stuff but being able to play some Nes/Snes stuff on the DS would be nice.

Anyone have one?

Flush fit and the interface is nice.

SNES on this system is flakey, I dont recommend it. NES is good though.

Thanks for the link. I will try to read up on it some more. I have always been interested in this stuff but wasn't sure how hard it was to do.

Get an M3 if you want to have an expandable SD or mini-SD flash memory slot... It won't fit into a DS Lite perfectly like the G6 or 4MB RAM cart that the DS Lite web browser comes with, but it's better than being limited to only 512MB of built-in flash memory that the G6 comes with.

They're both made by the same people, and should have the same support from here on out if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: Apparently the M3 Lite is on it's way out, and you can order it from this not so shady website: http://www.divineo.cn/cgi-bin/div-cn/ds-m3lmsd.html

Is this the same as a PassMe card? Can you use it to play homebrew games on the DS?

are these things compatible with macs?

i've almost pulled the trigger 4 or 5 times on one of these things, but can't get a solid answer on the mac question.

i'd love to play GBA games without the carts sticking out of the bottom of my lite.

I am still looking into getting one of these. However, I don't have a lot of knowledge about how these things work and I don't want to be stuck with something that I can't figure out.

Edit. It is too bad they don't sell these full of classic roms already loaded for noobs like me. But....I guess that would get them in trouble.

Get Virtual PC and have windows 2000 installed if you have a PowerPC Mac. For the Intel Macs, install Bootcamp. Then it was work with the G6.

Okay, bought one of these and I am immediately lost. I have 3 cartridges, one having the flash in it and the others are empty. I also have one empty GBA cartridge. The cartridge with the flash connects to the USB adaptor and I can see that it's loaded with all the correct software. However it won't fit into my DS. Am I supposed to remove the flash from this cartridge and put it in the GBA cartridge? I looked both at the documentation that came with it and the product website and still have no clue.
