DS-Linker 8G (1GB)

Hi h8uthemost. Why did you miss your R4 ? I'm asking because I don't want to miss my M3 DS Simply after I sell it.

h8uthemost · March 27, 2007, 10:28:47 PM

Well, the biggest thing was Soft Reset. I cannot stand not having that on the DS-Linker. I don't know why it, or any other of the clones, don't support this yet. Hopefully it's implemented in a future firmware update.

And also, I'm just addicted to flash carts in general. So once I put the R4 in the mail to trade it, I just started missing it. Although it's usually the DS-Linker in my Slot 1, and the G6 in slot 2, I still like to use that R4 every once in a while. Plus now I have a back up slot 1.

I'm also going to order the EZ Flash V, or M3 Simply soon. Probably the EZ Flash since the Simply and R4 are so identical.

And out of curiosity, why are you selling the M3 Simply? Do you just not like it, or are you selling it for a different type of flash cart?

Just wondering.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, you're switching it for the 16G DS-Linker. If you really care about Soft Reset, than you're going to miss the Simply. But my 16G DS-Linker just showed up yesterday, and I love it. I haven't even filled it up all the way yet.

Plus, you won't have to worry about the cart not running some game, or that game locking up. The cart handles every game just flawlessly.

you know that soft-reset is very hard to accomplish. Especially without patching which was really suprising to me. Its definitly a great feature but you have to understand all the work that must be done so that every game works under every single game or everyone will start to complain even if its only one game.

h8uthemost · March 27, 2007, 10:42:26 PM

Yeah, I guess that's true. But, it would be nice if they even did something like the EZ FlashV has. A patcher, so you can implement it in whatever games you choose.

I mean, just anything like that would be well appreciated by it's users. I wish I knew how to make a patch like that, I definitely would do it.

hey guys,i am in need of your help.I have my DS Linker and im having a few problems. For animal crossing it wont let me get a friend code.It gives me an error saying that i should Turn of my power and try again.And also with Jump Ultimate Stars when i play it gives me this Caution screen and it freezes.I dont know what else it says due to the fact that its in Japanese but it wont let me do anything.

So is there a way i can play Jump Ultimate stars without getting it freezing and can i be able to gather a friend code on Animal Crossing

Try to change the Save Type of each game, by selecting it on menu, and pressing "SELECT+dpad right/left". For Animal Crossing, the correct save type is "FLASH 2Mbit".

I've heard that soft reset of M3 DS Simply doesn't work in some games. I saw that you like flashcards and will get EZ-Flash... what's the reasons for getting one ? Is the expansion slot that come with it ? I'm just asking it, because I had an EZ-FlashII 512Mbits (slot2), and I liked it for GBA games, but I hated for NDS Games... EZ-Flash Team doesn't give the same support as Supercard, M3, R4, DS-Linker has... Maybe they changed for this new EZ-Flash V... sorry for my bad english...

The EZ flash V is just as good as all of the other brands in terms of compatiblity. You only get the expansion pack if you buy the EZV bundle.

h8uthemost · March 28, 2007, 09:50:28 PM

Yeah, I'm just going to get the EZ FlashV, not the 3in1 bundle anymore. Since the Opera Browser has been patched to work with the G6, I don't have any need for it anymore.

And I just want to give it a try. I've never had an EZ FlashV brand, I"ve heard they EZ Team is excellent. I also want to try out the Hybrid Tool too.

metalcaipira · March 29, 2007, 12:08:22 PM

I saw on DS-Linker page a DS Browser for download. Did you try it ? Is it working ? I've tested so many games and all worked very well including the Saves. Is there any game that's not working on DS-Linker ?

The Frisk · March 29, 2007, 12:57:43 PM

so far Jump Ultimate Stars doesnt work

h8uthemost · March 30, 2007, 12:41:10 AM

Are you sure it's just not a bad dump?

EDIT:

Yeah, you must've gotten a bad dump. I just tried it, and it works flawlessly.

This card is 100% DS compatible.

The Frisk · March 30, 2007, 12:22:59 PM

ok just redownloaded it and it still does it. It doesnt mess up when it first loads up but it gets on a screen where it says Caution,after either the first level of the game and also if you goto the data option and try to go back to the main menu.It freezes at those points and wont go any further

I just got my DS Linker (thanks to RealHotStuff), and it is great. I played though a bit of Castlevania POR, and it ran great. The video of Castlevania: DOS was just amazing, I have never seen it run so smooth, not even on my R4DS with the Kingston japan. I am really impressed right now, and the menu itself isn't that bad either. I just hate the time it takes to upload things into the cart.

h8uthemost · March 30, 2007, 09:07:52 PM

Yeah, the write time could be better, that's for sure. But it does run games beautifully.

Let us all know when you get the review up Pharaoh.

And Frisk, did you redownload it from the same site, or a different site? The one I got, ran beautifully. I also trimmed it with the R4 Trimmer.
