I'm not going to discuss this any further. Go look at my post where I already said it's probably more expensive to do this on the DS. But harder? No, cause it couldn't possibly get any easier. Maybe it used to be harder, and maybe the PSP is just as easy, but doing it to the DS does not qualify as hard. Not when my mom could do it on her own, with all her drag'n'drop skills of working with digital photography. And no, I'm not from Brazil, I live in Europe and guess what? I can buy your those so called "modified carts" online from such reputable stores as Amazon (liked above), or I could just walk in on a retailer like MediaMarkt and find one on display. Also, do have a look at the product page if you don't know how it works. It's a DS cart like any other, you just need to buy an off the shelf microSD for it. After that it's an MP3, pictures and videos player (marketed as such) that, oh by the way, does homebrew and... your plain old ROM "backups" too. This with any firmware version or hardware revision; no DS games are required; no computer software is necessary; pure drag'n'drop to the microSD card; works flawlessly, some of these even with crazzy stuff like the GBA slot connection (for pokemon and such); and is basically impossible to foil by Nintendo - so much so, that they don't even bother with it anymore (unlike Sony). I'm also pretty sure this is all explained in the little user's manual included in the box. And let's not forguet that this is one cart where you can load all your games. A couple of people I know use it purely for conveniece, after getting the tip through word of mouth (which is how I knew of it to, as the box doesn't exactly say "plays backups"). I'm sorry, but if this qualifies as hard for anyone, they're just retarded. Expensive, yeah I'll grant you that... as you end up spending a couple of game's worth of money in it. And maybe illegal and thus unavailable in some countries. But it's not hard, not by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe the PSP is just as easy - I never said it wasn't. After all, I wouldn't know, as I don't know anyone with a PSP and have no interest in it. But all this talk about needing game X, or doing whatever to a batery, and downgrading of firmwares doesn't really sound as easy as droping 30 quid for a damn cart at the local retailer. Again I wouldn't know, but never did I say I did know. All I did was warn kber on calling other people dumb because: a) it's hard to get the ROMs, when it's just as easy); and b) it's hard to get the cart - when you can buy it online on freakin' amazon (to which I had already linked) or on an oldschool brick'n'mortar's (somewhere in the EU at the very least). But I'm glad you loved it. |
Bealive it or not many people are discurieged when they need to buy an extra peripheral for their consoles , just to play pirate games . Isnt it easier to get a PSP with a 2 gb card and pop in some games . Also , not all retailers have modified DS cards , msotly because they rather sell original games , than just one card , which is often cheaper than a game ... so yeah , for a casual gamer the fact that the PSP can play from the go pirated games and the DS cannot , this could be a turn-off :?
BTW : nice to see that many people are buying PSPs and enjoying it :)
