The DS-Xtreme is nice, but once you run out of the 4Gigs on it, you will have to start deleting files on it. A solution is to get the M3 and PassCard 3 combo. You can find this at Divineo.com, and Consolesource.com. The M3 supports Mini SD cards, and you can just buy more memory when needed. You can get a Mini SD card 1GB on ebay for $7 shipping included. Now you will need a card reader for your computer to be able to put files on it. And you will need a program called Game Manager for your PC. This will be used to transfer files to the card, and it also patches the games for you so that you can play them. Hope this helps.

I can handle erasing games and so on. I actually want it to show off to friends and play a couple games. Thats all. I have psp as well. Yes it plays homebrew. Do i use it hell no. Anyways. So i can use the DS-Xtreme 4GB DS-X to play nintendo ds roms, movies, and music huh. Yes right. If so do i still need the game manager. Oh yeah where can i find it? I will probably find it by the time you reply. Thanks alot guys. **RUPTURE**

THe gamemanager is for the M3 line of products only, if the DS-X needs games to be patched in order to work they will make different software available.

The M3 does come with the software cd.. but it tends to be a little outdated. Last I read it comes with version 26 of firmware and game manager, so its best to download the newer version anyway :)
if the link above doesn't work for you, you can always use the link on M3 adapter's home page: http://www.m3adapter.com

Okay i got this. It seems simple. I see the Micro sd is the best one. It fits perfect and has nothing sticking out like bulky right. The other 2 are way bulky being big and sticking out right. Yes or NO? Also anyone have a link to a site with the cheapest price where i can get the combo for a micro sd card combo? I can buy the micro sd card. So i just need a link to a site where i can buy the micro sd combo at guys. Thanks in advance. I also have a 512mb xrom card for my gameboy advance. Can this card be used on a nintendo ds? Just wondering. Thanks for all the help and stuff. Im good with psp,xbox,xbox 360, and ps2 mods. So feel free to ask me i probably know it. Thanks again.! RUPTURE!

i don't think the xrom card can be used.. i haven't heard anything about it at all for use with the DS. normally its best to pick up the most recent hardware though as its guaranteed to work.. with something older like the flash2advance series.. sure you can get it to work but not without a lot of hassle :P
i always get my stuff at http://www.getyourgameshere.com , and it looks like they charge $104 for the bundle before shipping costs. the next lowest price i've found is at realhotstuff.com, and they charge like $102+shipping
and you're right about the bulkyness.. the m3 lite does not stick out whatsoever, where as the m3 SD and miniSD versions stick out on the DS lite. The only downfall to the M3 lite, however, is that you cannot use it in your game boy advance - it is meant for the ds lite only

well the memory card type depends on the one you pick up. since you have a DS Lite and want the one that doesn't stick out (M3 Lite).. then you will need Micro SD memory. Both Kingston and Sandisk memory cards have been tested (along with others) and both work great with the M3 Lite. Kingston only goes up to 1GB at this time, while Sandisk has a 2GB card out

Okay tell me if im right. I go to here---> http://www.getyourgameshere.com/nintendo...rd3-c-1_33.html
I get the M3 Lite (MicroSD) which is 79.00 plus the Passcard 3 which is 23.99. Then buy the memory card. Which i will find out when i get these two items. Or sooner. Then i get the gamemanger and the nds roms,movies,and music. Finally use the gamemanager to put everything on the memory card. Yes or no. Plain and simple. Thanks once againnnnnnnn RUPTURE

yeah i have all of that.. i actually flashed my DS lite though so i no longer need the passcard, which i ended up selling on ebay for about $25 (about the same price i paid for it). i use a 1GB kingston card with my M3 lite
as far as IM stuff goes.. i just recently reformatted my computer so i don't have any messengers installed, but i have an AIM sn and an MSN one as well. i'll send you a PM with the info whenever i get the programs installed, or if you want them asap just send me a PM and i'll give you the info

Okay i saw you flashed your ds...Should i flash the ds as well instead of buying the other thing. Not the lite but the passcard. Save me some money. Also if i flash it is there a possiblity something can go wrong and render the ds useless as a brick?

you can play GBA roms on the M3 lite.. no sweat :)
as far as flashing goes.. to flash it you'll need the passcard in the first place. theres a slight possibility of bricking it during the process (just have to be careful where you short out the connection) but the chance is so small that its not worth worrying over. i used to be afraid of flashing my ds.. then one day i was just like "screw it" and ended up doing it. took a whole 5 seconds lol
you'll need the passcard because you have to boot it into DS mode in order to flash. once its flashed, though, you can sell your passcard on ebay or give it to a friend so that he/she can flash their ds
