Using Nintendo DS to access internet, play MP3 & MP4

happy2bhere

Thanks for advice, still confused though....is there anywhere that directly compares the features of DSTT, M3 DS Real, CycloDS and acekard 2?

I basically want something that is fairly future proof and can handle 2gb memory easily without slowing appliations down. It is mainly to use DS to listen to music, watch films, access internet via wifi (if possible?!) and copy games (ones that i already own of course!!!). I'm not really fussed about access to cheap modes.

Sorry if this is becoming a bore, I'm technically challenged!!

EDIT
Also, whats homebrew, DS-roms and passkeys ???? Have images of dodgy beer!!!

Also, i want any risk of data corruption to my ds...is this a risk with the above cards?

ANOTHER EDIT
Hubby has just asked me what format the films would need to be in to be able to transfer them to DS...good question?!! And how would i transfer a dvd into the format required?! Soo many questions!!!!

To play media such as films and music you will need a program called moonshell which is easy to get hold of if you type 'moonshell' in google.
A word of warning though about one of the cards you are considering.
I cannot get moonshell to work on my Acekard2. It might be my fault but I have followed all the relevent instructions and it does not run on my DS. Games load up no problem and it may work for others but definitely not for me.

I have order the R4 for DS from memory bits and you can use quidco.

Just found this thread after searching the internet for help with R4. I ordered an R4 card from Memory Bits, only its managed to blow the fuses on two of my dslites
I put the first one breaking down to bad luck, and thought perhap (at the time, it was just a flat battery) so tried the R4 another ds and the same thing happened. After searching the net with the symptoms of the dslites it seems that their internal fuses have been blown (which apparently can happen with using R4 cards). So serves me right. I now have two deaded dslites. Gutted

Man thats bad.

I don't like the R4's, I like the DSTT's and the N5's.

The genuine R4s have not been made for some time now and could only handle up to 2 Gb. Most of the ones still on sale will be fakes, especially those promising to work with bigger capacity SDHC cards.

Get a cycloDs, that's what I have and I have an 8gb microSD card. Get the black one it looks more like normal DS carts.
