Hey guys can someone please explain how the homebrew scene works for the Nintendo Ds, I use to have a psp and homebrewed it and it was so much easier then the Nintendo Ds, Their are cards, etc if someone can explain to me what each card does. And How To Homebrew. I would like to be able to play Gba,Ds,Nes Games, Music, Videos, Have Linux if possible, Msn Messenger and Browser. And How Much Memory Can i Put Into the slots.
IMO PSP is slightly more difficult than DS for homebrew as you have to find one without too high a firmware, then you have to downgrade then usually upgrade to an OE (i'm still on 3.03-OE) but anyhows.
I won't blind you with different things, as it takes to long o type it all, i will just recommend a setup that will do almost eveything you have mentioned: (assuming you have a DS Lite)
M3 Lite Perfect + Passcard3 + MicroSD (up to 2GB)
That can play patched DS games, GBA games, DS and GBA homebrew, and DSLinux. The only thing it cannot do is use the Nintendo DS Browser.
for all the above ^
check the buyer's guide in my sig.
basically, you should get an r4 [or m3 ds simply] and the m3 lite perfect(NOT pro). instead of the m3 lite, you could get the ezv 3 in 1, but that means i'll have to explain some stuff, so i won't reccommend it.

nintenut:This is going to sound a bit odd, but it works, put your lips around the trigger and blow really hard, it works.
bee_cup: My DS Lite L button don't work...
nintenut: Put your mouth on it and blow, gets the dust out, and sounds obscene!
