Whether intended or not, this article gives the appearance of your website advocating piracy.

When are you going to give one away?

Sounds pretty nice. Will it be able to read programs from a larger GBA slot media card/adapter? (Or at least allow a homebrew program to load from GBA itself - I can't imagine why this wouldn't work anyway)

Just hoping it's 'expandable'.

How in the world are we advocating piracy? The article makes no mention of using the device to play illegally obtained software, but instead focuses on utilizing the device to gain access to the hundreds of useful/cool homebrew applications written by people worldwide. We certainly do not advocate the using of this device for illicit purposes, regardless of what people may or may not do with it.

The other downside: List price is $130. Yes, that's right, the same price as a shiny new DSLite.

Whereas you can get a SuperCard Rumble($35) + Nopass($25) + 512MB($20) microsd for under $90 with shipping (maybe even less if you look for deals). And it would perform all the same features, as well as being expandable (just buy more microsd cards). And for another $20, upgrade the sc rumble to sc lite, which also plays gba homebrew, and can function as a 32MB RAM extension (for the awesomeness known as DSLinux)

Wow, this looks really freakin cool! It's way too much $$ for me though.

I'll stick with my M3 Lite, with two 1GB microSD cards, thanks.

So what if it goes into Slot 2? I don't see that as a problem, really (and with the Enamel Navy shell, it's "camoflagued" very well).

I priced it around $125 myself, looking to buy the stuff soon, as I just got my shiny new black ds lite.

This setup is if you want something that isn't going to ruin the aesthetics of your DS lite. Also, it has better capabilities than the "Extreme". You could use a smaller memory card to reduce the price
Superkey - $25
Supercard Lite (black) - $55
1GB MicroSD card - $40
USB SD card reader (portable, like a stick) - $4
Total: $125

If you don't care about the aesthetics.
Superkey - $25
Supercard SD - $45
1GB SD card - $25
USB SD card reader (portable, like a stick) - $4
Total: $100

These may seem close to the Extreme, but the combination has better capabilities.

Wait, so the DS-X won't be able to run GBA games? Wow, I was anticipating this thing for weeks now thinking that it would. Bummer.

This will however play SNES and NES roms with the proper emulators as well as run unpatched nds roms and allows wireless download play with other unflashed DSes. It can also work as a PassMe. It has built in MP3 functionality and you can listen to music with the case shut too. It even had a disco mode too.

Not one of the options that are currently available are "drag and drop" like the DS-X. It's even comaptible with 99.9% of the "illegal" roms out there. With the next firmware upgrade it will be 100% compatible (it won't play the new Pokemon)

There is a review over at gbatemp.net and Kotaku will have theirs up within a day or so.

Great concept, but too pricey and limited for what it can do.

As mentioned above, there are many slot-2 solutions available (e.g, Supercard and M3) and there is also the new Neo2 from the neoflash team which allows you to play unpatched clean backups directly from your SD Card, this works surprisingly well too...

One other slot-1 solution that does almost everything else the DS-X does capability-wise, is the Ninja-DS, although you would have to put up with its large size out the back of your DS.

Overall the DS-X is probably the most complete DS-Only solution for homebrewin' but the asking price is extortionate. I say wait for the Acekard, and the NDSGBA 1:1, which will provide similar slot-1 capabilities, using a microSD for additional space.

The link seems dead to me I'm afraid. Too bad, it seems quite interesting.

Justin, it's funny that you'd act like the very thing you're accusing me of being.

I never said this website DOES encourage piracy. I said this article gives the APPEARANCE of encouraging piracy. I was trying to warn the site's writers to be careful.

o0joshua0o:

It does no such thing. Please learn the difference between "rom" and "homebrew". Your ignorance coupled with your stubborn and pompous attitude is about enough to make us throw up.
