I got a DSi from eBay and Im looking for some dope games to buy. I got Pokémon Platinum from a friend, and Ive been looking for some Mario and Kirby games. What else do you have in mind?
What do you like to play? Kirby Super Star Ultra is a definite if you're looking for Kirby, I also liked Mass Attack, but it isn't a traditional Kirby game by any stretch.
My top DS games are The World Ends With You, Tetris DS, and 999, but any of those may not be up your alley.
>Buying DS games
just get a flashcart you filthy casualGhost Trick: Phantom Detective and Ace Attorney are both based. All the Professor Layton games too.
>>340006423
Well I do enjoy RPGs and platformers like kirby/mario. Super Mario 64 DS has got my attention too
>>340006049
Get a flash cart, a decent one is less than 20 bux and you're not really hurting nintendo at this point.
I liked the DS Castlevanias a lot, some people are mixed on them but they are p cool if you're a Metroidvania fan.
>>340006646
I did play the mobile port of Ghost Trick, it was awesome, and yeah Im not into flash cards
>>340006864
>yeah Im not into flash cards
but why
it's free vidya and fucking easy
>>340006049
Sonic Colors DS
Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin
Feel The Magic
The Rub Rabbits
Puyo Puyo 20th
Contra DS
Metal Slug 7
GTA Chinatown Wars
Endless Frontier
>>340006864
>yeah Im not into flash cards
So you're going to spend more money than you should buying second hand out of print games which doesn't support the developers anyway?
Just get a fucking flashcart.
Get a flash cart
>ALL THREE Castlevanias
>Contra 4
>Super Mario 64 DS
>Mario Kart DS
>Metroid Prime: Hunters (was best for its multiplayer, though - always use a thumb nub to aim)
>Tetris DS (best version of Tetris)
>Chrono Trigger DS (best version of CT)
>>340006049
Buy a R4.
http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Nintendo_DS
Welp, I took a min to search for a flashcart as many suggested, I dont know jack about them. Can somebody recommed one? Im looking up on eBay
>>340007497
Literally any R4, they all are clones of each other.
DSTwo if you want something fancy.
I found this one on eBay, I think Im gonna get it. I just hope there was a way to play GB games as well, but it needs another special type of card Ive read
>>340006864
be prepared to spend a gorillion dollars on some of the best games for the system
Some of my personal favorite RPGs:
Dragon Quests IV, V, VI, and IX
Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light and the remake of 3
Contact
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon
RPG recs
Etrian Odyssey games, specifically III
SMT: SG
Radiant Historia
Best version of Chrono Trigger
Best version of FFIV
The Dragon Quest games, specifically V
>>340008147
That one doesnt work with the DSi.
Source, i have that one.
>>340008654
You could try asking in
>>>/vg/hbg
You cant play GB/GBA games on the DSi, only on the DSLite and DS.
Since there's no more onlime for regular DS there really is no excuse to not get a flash card
>>340009438
Unless its pokemon.
Any other game has no excuse.
>>340008654
chances are you don't. there's a shitload of unbranded R4s just like that one.
>>340009225
you can play GBA on the DSi thanks to the DSTWO. it's a crapshot, though. like GBA on the PSP.
and it's 60 bucks.
>>340008147
I think any flashcart will play NES and GB. you want a R4i Gold 3DS RTS.
>>340006049
The World Ends With You
Ghost Trick
SMT: Strange Journey
Solatorobo
Thank me later
>>340009757
>chances are you don't. there's a shitload of unbranded R4s just like that one.
Youre right, its the "Upgrade version".
>>340009645
why wouldn't a flashcart work with Pokémon games?
Get a Supercard DSTWO, it runs GBA games and even NES
>>340006049
I know you're not particularly looking for more Pokémon games, but Heartgold/Soulsilver was and is my favorite game I ever played on DS, Johto starters plus Kanto and Hoenn starters after you beat the game.
>>340009871
>Solatorobo
Don't do it OP
>>340009874
I wonder how many R4 clones exist in total.
Anyway all R4 like this dont work with the DSi.
Other clones like R4 gold, infinity, etc do.
An acekard 2i will work with the DSi
>>340006049
>not just getting a 2ds
Why? You get all of the new games.
All Castlevanias (Order of Ecclesia is my favorite)
Elite Beat Agents
Pokemon Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
>>340010323
this. i have a 2ds also with an r4i gold
>>340010143
more than you can count. and some of those do work on the DSi.
but there's no reason to get one anyhow. it's a toss between the DSTWO and the R4i Gold 3DS RTS.
just avoid the color coded ones from www.r4isdhc.com, they're fucking everywhere.
>>340006049
If you like rhythm games and wacky humor, Elite Beat Agents is loads of fun. The Japan-only "prequel" and "sequel" are great too.
>>340010323
Price?
$10-$25 vs $70-90.
Op just get a Supercard DStwo, it even works on my N3DS on the last firmware
>>340010321
not with firmware 1.4.5 it won't.
>>340010392
personally I find it fucking hideous. and the black bars and blurry resolution with DS games just ruin the experience.
a DSL is much better.
I've been wanting to buy an r4 card for a long time. Every website looks so sketchy though. Are there any on ebay that work with a 3DS? I don't need it to do anything other than original DS games.
>>340011020
Fucking read the second post above yours
>DSi
Why the fuck would you get a DSi, aren't they more expensive than the older models that have more relevant features? Does it even have any CFW to speak of to justify the SD card slot?
>>340011020
DSTwo or DSTwo Plus and R4i Gold work with 3DS, of them work if you use CFW on DS.
>>340011227
I don't see it on ebay
>>340007497
AceKard 2.1 works great for me, two years running.
>>340008147
Just bought this. I wonder what viruses he will pre-load the SD card with.
>>340011020
DSTwo is a meme card, get an R4i Gold.
>>340011317
of them work if you use CFW on DS.
All of then work*
>>340011227
>DSTWO
>for a 3DS
>drains your battery twice as fast
>for 50+ bucks
>when you could get a R4i Gold 3DS RTS for 16 shipped
>>340011020
they are sketchy and ship from China, yes. there are a few that ship from within the US but I don't know any. none of them accept PayPal as far as I know.
you could bite the bullet and get a R4iSDHC.com flashcart, they're always pop up on eBay. but you might regret it later.
>slow menu
>iffy compatibility
>buggy kernel
>built-in timer that requires an update every year
>>340011308
an exploit was found ages ago when the eShop first launched but the game was quickly pulled and the project died off.
so no, not to any degree of actual functionality at least.
>>340011434
Acekard only works up to 1.4.4.
here, 'secret' eBay listing for 25 bucks. best flashcart you can get unless you're looking for emulators:

>>340011441
you best store whatever comes in that SD because chances are you'll never find its kernel again.
else you'll have to got around trying every generic R4 one hoping they don't brick it.
>>340012425
You could always try Wood or acekard kernel clones.
Replaying okamiden now. Pretty good
>>340012425
>>340012663
Excuse me, I'm a complete retard. Kernel?
>>340012984
The files that come with the cards to work.
With cards like yours its almost impossible to find them again once you lose them, even when the cards are literal clones of each other you need the specific kernel they use to work, which is why a bad idea to buy cards like those.
You could always try your luck with Wood kernel(designed to work in multiple cards) to see if your card works with it.
>>340012984
it's the flashcart's 'operational system', you download it off the cart's manufacturer and put it in the SD, otherwise it obliviously won't work.
that's an unbranded R4, though. you'll never find the website that originally hosted the kernel. it's probably been offline for years now, too.
so you better back that SD up.
