The DS General

ds is shit bye

>>50178055
what the

I bought a DS.

But then I realized I never leave the house, so I sold it and now I emulate.

;_;

i came on my ds's screen

>>50178055
i lol'd slightly

>>50178137
i... yeah, me too ):

DSi XL.

Y/N?

I might get one since the speakers on my Lite are a bit borked and really quiet.

i still have original ds

>>50178442
Fucking gross. How can you play with that pitiful backlight?

Waiting on an R4 card...

>>50178566

So you can just download roms and put them on a memory card and it works?

>>50178566
>my japanese coach

Are there flash carts that work with the DSi yet?

I sort of stopped paying attention a while ago, since I have a Lite.

>>50178660

>>50178650
If you have an R4 or similar, yes. MicroSD card fits in the blank DS cartridge. You plug microSD card into PC and slap roms on it, then put it back in the DS cartridge and play on DS. It is exactly like you actually bought the games.

Playing FF tactics A2 atm and its fucking awesome! a must play for all those with a DS.

>>50178663

Yeah there are some. I got one to replace my lost R4 in case I end up getting a DSi XL.

>>50178750
I was so excited about it, but when I actually played it I was disappoint. I was expecting something as good as FFTA but instead I got a watered down version with a terribly shallow plot.

I mean really, no extra damage etc for hitting them from behind? Fuck that shit.

Surprisingly though FFXII: Revenant Wings turned out to be a very enjoyable portable FF romp.

>>50178838
I agree.

>>50178838
Urr, you do get extra dmg if you hit from behind on the sides and I find that the plot is equally deep and enticing when you get into it.

I like them both, they are different games that ofer you different things but they are both 10/10 games.

>>50179203
I meant, from the front or at the sides - sorry.

>>50179284
Shit, another miss type.

From behind or at the sides...

I have the original DS, but the top part is starting to break off. I might have to get a new one soon..

;_;

>>50178566
>implying you'll be able to play inside story without a patch

Casual piece of shit.

I can't understand the praise and hype this garbage gets. There are like 3 worthwhile games, everything else is pure and utter trash.

Thinking of buying this for pokemans, worth it?

My DS is a fucking beast. It emulates loads of great games from Gameboy and NES to more recent titles, and my M3Real is filled to the brim with delicious roms

Except for Pokeymans. I buy my Pokeymans games.

>>50179559
Sage? Really?

Youre saging a topic about video games just because you dont like the system?

Keep your fanboy shit to gamefaqs, you raging faggot.

>>50179689
Heart Gold/Soul Silver? Yes. It is worth it.

Diamond/Pearl/Plat? No, not really.

>>50179864
>thinks the DS is anything else than shit
>calls me a fanboy

Oh, the irony.

So 50 bucks for this R4 thing? Or is that a ripoff

Elite Beat Agents made my buy my DS. True story.

>>50179956
Think of it this way, you're paying $50 for every single DS game that has ever come out and that ever will.

You wouldnt be getting ripped off even if it was $200.

>>50179980
HE WAS A SK8ER BOI, SHE SAID SEEYA LATER BOY.

It's a shame EBA was utter shit. I was looking forward to it so much after the joy that was Ouendan. If only they didn't localise it with fucking terrible american pop songs.

might and magic: clash of heroes was here


all other ds games are faggots (except maybe tetris, because you cant go wrong with tetris, then again, it doesnt have the korobeiniki soundtrack anymore, so its kind of a faggot too)

>>50180050

>It's a shame EBA was utter shit.

wat

$50 for an R4? Why not buy a CycloDS or Acekard 2?

>>50179914

>my first game was halo. Anything that isn't a HD fps is terrible. My opinion is fact.

>>50179837
how do i get non ds emu's?

Playing this. Playing as a Mage with low vitality going hardcore mode.

>>50178650
well...basically.

>>50180095
Sure, the gameplay was there, but everything else felt completely empty and left me feeling incredibly disappointed. They took a good game and butchered it for the American audience. Completely ruined. Why they have to do this sort of thing is beyond me.

They almost did the same thing with FF13, but fortunately it doesn't extend beyond MYYYY HAAAANNNDDSSSS.

>>50180050
...but shitty jpop songs are fine? Weeaboo much?

>>50180146

You can get your flashcard to run emulators for Gameboy (Lameboy), NES (nesds), etc. I looked it up on http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Nintendo_DS
because the list had download links and everything.

>>50179837
Tell me this kind sir. Is there a way to get GBA roms working with my DS cart? M3real.

I just want to play Sonic Advance and FFTA ;_;

>>50180100
Sure, son, whatever helps you sleep.

Enjoy your gimmicky, shallow shovelware. Fucking Nintendron­es. Thread reported.

>>50180050

Your weeaboo is showing.

As for the rest of us:

I WAS BOOOOOOOORN IN A CROSSFIRE HURRICANE

>>50180236
Sure, theyre fine because I dont understand them.

If youre honestly saying Avril Lavigne is better than Jpop (which I am in no way defending), you are insane or a 13 year old girl.

>>50180279
>reporting a videogames thread

what, illegal content? rule violation?

>>50180314
>Getting trolled so easily

>>50180272

There are no GBA emulators for the DS. You can buy the M3Real GBA expansion pack (slot 2 card) for like 20 dollars and play all the GBA games you want. That's what I did, anyway.

>>50180279

No son. It is you who is reported.

I'm a DS fanboy who managed to convince a mate to buy one. Now we play Mario Kart and various other games during breaks in college. People frown when we're cheering and shouting, but in reality they're just jealous of all the fun we're having.

Currently playing the new Ace Attorney game, along with finally getting TWEWY working. Opening and closing the lid, what a hilarious fix that was.

Best handheld out there, hands down.

>>50178387
no. My blue DSi is juuuuuust the right size

>>50180346
No idea how I can get one of those in Australia, though. I was lucky enough to find the normal M3real in my local smalltime computer parts store.

>>50180314
Reported for fanboism. No one except Nintendron­es can talk positively about Nintendo.

Do you use the microphone in the Pokemon and Ace Attourney games?

Why the hell did they take hte GBA slot off the DSi anyway? I mean, what am I supposed to go with my GB & GBA games now

Waiting for a non moonspeak version of Infinite Space.

Fighting Fantasy was ok until it became imba.

Still playing and furiously masturbating over the vast customization options of Front Mission.

Can't even bee asked to Pirate the new Zelda.

>>50180394

Tough break. I happened to run into a tiny-ass webshop selling it, and amazingly enough they didn't rip me off and it got delivered within two days.
Currently breezing through Pokemon LeafGreen.

>>50180459
Yes I love shouting OBJECTION! HOLD IT! TAKE THAT! EURIKA!

psp survives on emulators, otherwise it has very few games.

you rage you lose

>>50180099
i got my r4 for 5 bucks with shipping included. That was awesome. Currently playing ace attorny and spirit tracks. Works great. Also has anyone gotton wifi to work with the pokemon games on the r4. I am not sure if i ever did. I just want to be sure i will be able to connect with soul silver.

I wish at Nintendo Summit or E3 that they annouce FF 5 and 6 remakes for the DS.

>>50179956
>$50
Dude, Acekard 2i is $10.

I've tried playing Spirit Tracks, but for some reason I found it to be a drag. The same was true for Phantom Hourglass. :( Sucks, because I was a big fan the old Zelda games.

Anyone with good recommendations for obscure DS games?

>>50180633
Super Metroid DS and I would die a happy man.

And sadly you can't emulate it on DS as it's always missing sprite layers.
My best bet is to play emulate it on PC and use my DS as a wireless controller.

>i got my r4 for 5 bucks with shipping included

Haha, I remember that one cheap-ass site suddenly selling a bulk supply of R4's. Redhotdeals.com or something like that, some Hong Kong kinda deal.
Best site for buying large quantities of nail-clippers I've ever found.

>>50180340
>realizing what utter bullshit I just said, claim it was trolling.

>>50180702
Get SNEmulDS and it plays fine except a few issues.

>>50180699

v's recommended games list has a load of games covered. Maybe try out Umihara Kawase? It's a Japanese platformer, but I hear the gameplay is excellent.

>>50180726
ya dealextreme.com they dont sell em anymore. It was awesome though. The only problem with r4 is that i had to find really obscure unofficial firmware because the manufacturers haven't updated it since 2008. But now i am doing fine.
>>50180699
i just got into this game called contact. its pretty fun so far.

The hinge on my light started cracking, so I spent 4 bucks on an exterior case with hinges on it. So hopefully that'll keep it safe.


So the cycloDS can't play GBA games? Where can I get one of these M3 cards?
