Where can I buy a Ninjapass DS Flash 512mbit?

Hi · December 20, 2006, 03:30:38 PM

All of the websites on the internet point to winsunx. It seems to be the only site that has it.

However, winsunx must have decided to longer carry the Ninjapass DS Flash 512mbit, because I can't find it on the site. They seem to have replaced Ninjapass DS with the Ninjapass X9, a card I don't want.

So where can I buy the card? It looks good, but not even the official site refrences it. It seems like It's jumped off the face of the earth, leaving it's footprints on nothing but a few dead chatrooms.

What's wrong with the X9? Removable storage, man.

why would you want a ninjapass......... it is a piece of total utter crap.

Hi · December 21, 2006, 09:30:27 AM

two reasons.

1. Because it DOESN'T have removable storage.

2. Because it appears to be a "real" nds flash cart.

3. Because It's cheap AND does what I want it to do, run the opra web browser. Well, actually, that's only half of what I want it to do. I also want it to support soft-reseting to the main menu. If it does both AND it hasn't dissapeered of the face of the earth it is SO mine.

512mbit is barely enough for one game, and not enough for some like elite beat agents, also i dont think it supports soft reset, and by definition, the 'real' card cannot be able to soft reset

Good point.

I guess the main reason I want this card is because it's cool.

I bought a gba flash card for my sister for x-mas. But I wanted to make sure I could get the card to work before I gave it to her. So I tried out some gba games. Something is diffren't about playing on a card that works EXATLY like a regular card. I'm not sure what that thing is, but I enjoyed the game more than I did on the supercard.

Therefor, I want to get something for myself that will give me that same enjoyment. But since I have and nds, (my sister has a gba.) I want to be able to do it with nds games, not just gba games.

It's a silly reason, but it's true. I'm not sure if I will get this card or not, but first things first, where CAN I get it assuming I did want it. Are there ANY stores that are still selling this product???

I'm sure there is, but you're gonna have to be very dedicated to find it.

What I want to know, is why is the X9 not considered "real" if the 512Mb is?

I have no idea but if you buy one YOU WILL REGRET IT. the thing is an utter piece of garbage like i said the compatibility sucks and can only hold 1 mid sized game. This is no cheap ds-x.

I think you're all missing the point here.
The reason why Hi wants that Slot-1 card is because it serves as a cheap solutions to run the opera web browser ($15 USD)

I too wanted one of these since I already owned a SCL.
But now it's all about the SC DS!! I knew it was worth waiting for!

Wait. Want to run the Opera browser and be able to soft reset to the menu? DS-Link does both of these. Opera runs flawlessly on this card, and the soft reset works flawlessly. The compatibility rate is excellent, and it takes removable media. Just flashme (if you have not already) and pick this baby up. Best of all worlds!

Hi · December 22, 2006, 08:23:34 AM

I'd love to get a dslink... But then I'd need to get a microsd card as well. The ninjadsflash is because it will run the opra web browser AND be cool, like I said. I know the fact that I want something just because It's cool is silly of me, but I want it. Could someone PLEASE tell me where I could get it. I searched on google for atleast three hours yesturday. I'm a bad google searcher. If someone knows where I can get this card could they please tell me?

You do understand that 512 MegaBITS is completely different from 512 MegaBYTES don't you.

8 bits make a byte

So that means 512 MBits = 60 MBytes

60 Mb isn't that big...

I was already aware of the diffrence between megabits and megabytes.

zektor · December 22, 2006, 10:15:18 AM

You are going to be able to fit ONE game on there in many occasions. No room for music, movies, or more importantly, MORE games. Oh well, whatever floats your boat. The reason you cannot find one is probably because the demand is not that high (because it is not a great seller) and the retailers just do not order the damn thing.

sinkhead · December 22, 2006, 10:18:39 AM

Most people think it's crap.
That's why shops don't stock it.
