Also does anybody know if i can download movies and music onto a Mini SD supercard? If so How much space does 1 song take up and 1 movie? IF you have to buy something else what is it? ty!!!!

Well, movies and music vary in size depending on the movie/song.  If you want to play movies you need to convert them to dpg format and use moonshell to play them.  Batchdpg is a good converter, you will need avisynth v2.56 or higher and Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1 or higher to run it.

BatchDPG : http://ls5.cydonianknight.com/index.php?download=BatchDPG_v1.0.exe

AviSynth : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023

Microsoft .NET Framework : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

Not sure about mp3s though, ill let someone else explain.

songs takes up 1mb per minute usually of 128kpbs encoded mp3 as a rough estimate.
movies are.. i have no idea i was able to put around 168mins in about 512mb of space on mine using moonshell (free homebrew) it in dpg format (there is a converter that comes with moonshell)
it was anime though, so ya can get away with more quality degredation, but also have to remember the ds has a super small screen (256x192 resolution) so its going to be hard to see, but better than nothing.

Also since this doesnt come with a Mini SD card where or a Mini SD card reader where  can i get othem? And what kind of reader do i need? Thnx!

tennisgy

ummmm well most mini sd cards come with an SD adaptor but to be sure get a MiniSD reader from Best Buy or someplace and order a MiniSD from Newegg(extreemely cheap)

yes that is a good deal

ok tennisgy i looked for a  mini SD card and found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820180614
Will that work or is there a different brand that works better? Or do i need 2gb? Or is it overpriced? Thank You!!!

Oh and it said that it comes with an adaptor so i didnt look for one.

michaelarth

so would this one work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820183184
But one guy said it doesnt work out fo the box? I dont know you tell me tennsigy.

O and by the way thx for helping me Tennisgy!!!!!

tennisgy

If you get a miniSD supercard that means it takes miniSD memory cards(its sort of a hard idea to grasp, I know) like this one which I have and was also refferring to(it works great BTW)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820183011

or this one which has a little less memory but is cheaper
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211024

I would take the first one because its faster and has more space but is still very cheap

Hmmmmm Well i read some of the comments about the first one and they say it doesnt work that well so idk. Also is ther a 2gb Ritek Mini SD? thank You!

sonicwind

Transcend has an 80x one 2GB for 40$ i think thats a decent deal.

tennisgy

It works fine plus it has a lifetime warranty
