NDSPatcher v 0.1
With this nice little tool from ]{ain you can patch NDS ROMS (clean unaltered dumps) so that they will work on nearly all DS compatible GBA Flash Cards and save game progress in the GBA cart. If you already have a flash cartridge like X-ROM can use NDS Patcher to play commercial NDS roms that they coud not play before. (Requies DS PassMe or FlashMe)

NDS Patch Tool

First DS Backup kit that we confirmt can play commercial NDS ROMs. We tested it and discovered some interesting facts about the origins of the gba card in this kit.

What we know about NDS Neo Flash

Roms and Emu on GBA Flash Cards
Compatible with Nintendo DS

What we tested.
At this point there is NO NDS Flash Card or Linker made specificly for backup of Nintendo DS Roms so we have tested the compatibilty of Gameboy Advance Backup devices with the NDS.
At this point we looked at the most simpele and at the same time the most important things.

• Can you play Games from the specific GBA Flash Card
• Does the Card & Linker Backup set works with Nintendo DS

How we tested. Just to be sure all the Linkers and Carts were first connected to GBA SP and after we nade sure they work - we put them to the DS test...

"NDS Dreaming" Competition (Closed - see the results)

Nintendo has announced more details of its up-coming new dual-screen portable gaming device, the Nintendo DS. NOA has finally confirmed Nintendo DS (NDS) release dates and suggested retail price. Price tag in the US of $149.99 (£84), and 15,000 yen in Japan (£76). At the first month when he demand is bound to be high and shortage of Nintendo DS units can be predicted we think you will see NDS retail for a bit higher price.

DS final version design has a sleeker look and will be launched in two colors silver and black. When the device was announced in January, it was stressed that it was not meant to be the successor to the Gameboy Advance SP   - and you can easily understand the reason for that - N tries to keep selling cheap GB Advance while advancing the DS for more demanding gamers. If they would have announced that GBA is "dead" and will be substituted by new NDS - the sales of the GBA would plummet..

Surprisingly  - for the first time in the history Nintendo gaming giant, which dominates the portable games market, is releasing such a device in the US before Japan. Nintendo DS will go on sale on 21 November in the US and 2 December in Japan. (Europe will see the device on sale sometime at the start of 2005.)

Rival Sony has postponed the release of its PlayStation Portable (PSP) until early 2005. It is widely expected to go on sale in Japan first, however.

Nintendo already announced a 20% price cut on its popular Gameboy Advance and GBA SP $79 in an attempt to reinforce its position as the dominant portable gaming device.

The things we are anxiously expecting to see:

Nintendo DS Emulator NDS roms...
