Hi,
it seems that homebrew type options are now available for DS, which sounds fabbo. But, can I attach older style DS to the PC to drag and drop, or is it onlyu DS Lie?

Any advice gratefully received.

I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    Most of them take SD cards, which can be put into a USB card reader and then accessed by a PC.

    Yeah, it's not the DS that's connected to the PC, the cartridges you buy for the DS either have built-in memory or a removeable microSD card that you can connect to the PC and transfer stuff to/from it.

    thanks chaps... Just to clarify, cos I'm such a complete novice at anything beyond surfing... I can attach the SD card itself to the PC to do the drag and drop thing, then put it back in the DS?

    Sorry, bit of a dimbo; I really need to do a course to know my way around the PC.

    Yep, you'll usually get a microSD card reader with the card.

    Now now, they specifically stated it was for homebrew. :P

    OP what you need to look for is an R4 card, you should gte the stuff needed to allow you to drag and drop files to the card

    Ah ha Jim lad.

    Nah, not savvy enough to pirate, can just about press play on the dvd machine.

    Thanks chaps.
