FCR'S iTouchDS Review

[Tailsrulez3]

I don't like it, no cheats...

[MrXedres]

verry low cuality so i change video ok

[mizpinksugar]

can you help me? How do i import my own custom cheats?

[17thbox]

i want to migrate pokemon from a gba rom to a nds rom.

is there any ds flash card that can load games into the slot 2 and the slot 1 at the same time?

[bun314]

can it play ds web browser???

[Fr33stylePr0ducti0ns]

the quality is like someone at my school.... SHITTY

[Psqwall]

I have this cart but version 1.7 and I got all these games on the cart but none of them work and I can not figure out why help

[pokefanmaster68]

how do u make the "creating a new file" into english and not japenese

[Billyfozz]

Just get an R4 DS 16gb

[joepark93]

"both system" means when you turn on the DS, you have choice to choose sakura or real, that's what i meant. "Dota" is one of the greatest homebrew game ever it's like a WarCraft3. Finally i m still thinking between those 2 flashcarts, becasue i want to buy a 4G SDHC memory, also i don't want to spend over $50. If i buy 2g, then it does not matter but SDHC 4G and flashcart..I m still thinking. Anyway thanks for the advice. but 1 more what is big points that make cyclods is better than M3 real?

[iwakura]

I haven't kept 100% up to date with the M3 DS Real, but here are a list of some features:

In game menu to adjust lighting, activate slow motion, use real time save

text reader in game

better support

needs less firmware updates to keep up with games

better build quality

GUI is much cleaner and smoother.

[joepark93]

oh cool!! but here is another problem for me. first of all i really want to buy cyclods, but i can't because it's too expensive for me. So I thinking about M3 ds real vs supercard ds one SDHC. In my opinion both carts are similiar each other. But i really don't know which is better, and which one people prefer more... oh by the way I'm south korean!! so i wish that can change language to korean.

point is which is better?? (price, function, popularity, homebrew, games, media)

[iwakura]

by the way, my last comment was supporting the cycloDS, not the M3. Sorry if I didnt make myself clear.

if you're looking at the M3 and supercard.... I say supercard DSone, even though the M3 team has been updating a little more often than the Supercard team. The supercard still has quite a few more features than the M3 does.

I don't think the supercard ds one has korean...

[joepark93]

ok, so mainpoint is cyclods evolution is the best, and supercard ds one(new) is next, and then finally M3 ds real.............. ok. Thanks a lot If i have money i will buy a cyclo, but i don't have money so i will buy a supercard ds one!!! thank you. (but what kinda of feature that supercards has but M3 not?)

[iwakura]

Let's see...

In game text reading one of the most important.

I'm honestly not to sure as I never really got the chance to use it. However, it has a nice list of features (comparable to the cyclo) and I've only heard good things about it from other people.

Also, it runs much "cleaner" than the M3 (smoother)

[joepark93]

I know cyclo ds is really good.... that is why i m thinking about this btw. cyclo and M3 real. I heard those 2 are really good but i compared price btw those things,..It almost $20................. also i heard about if i buy a chinese version of M3 ds real, then i could download M3 sakura(new) version, so that i could play both system at a same time(ds real, sakura) another question : does homebrews are same, even flashcarts are differents? like can I play "dota" on both flashcart?

[iwakura]

You don't have to buy the chinese version of the M3 DS real. Sakura will work on the english one. I don't know what you mean by both systems at the same time though.

Yes, homebrew is the same no matter what flash cart. I don't know what this "dota" you're reffering to is.

My opinion stands. The cycloDS is my choice.

[joepark93]

hey so, will you tell me which is the best cart for ds??? R4, M3 real, cyclo ds, G6ds real, ds-xtreme. I m going to buy one of this..................but i can't decide. so please tell me what is the best of all(price, fuction, compatibility,etc.)

[iwakura]

cyclods hands down.

a bit more expensive than the rest, but it will last longer, perform better, and has more functions.

[badasschickendude]

i cant get mine to work with wifi can anyone help me?

[superjomojomo]

is this recommendable?

would you say that this is the best cheap card?

[579093]

yes....real hotstuff..theyre always reliable~

[vmagnum91]

i just want to know, is the iTouchDS compatible with the Original DS model and not just the Lite?

[Raidou10k]

Of course, there's no reason it wouldn't be.

[kgonepostl]

They gave you a sample when you got a camera like that? Damn, I could do a better review with a better camera. Too bad I don't own a shitty site.

P.S. I'm pissed off right now don't take it personally

[laeeqmaster1]

Ok i have 2 questions:

1. Does the itouchds play games such as Pokemon Diamond, Metroid, etc.?

2. If it does, can you go on wi-fi on the games?

[laeeqmaster1]

Ok forget the first question now i know u can play games. but i still need an answer for the second question

[iwakura]

yes and yes

[super6mix]

just ordered one of these..

:D

[peachcloverlauper]

I tried to emulate Pokemon Diamond on my computer and though it worked it crashed after I tried to return to either the sav file or the save state. I believe it was caused by the rom trying to access the emulator's nonexistent clock. Would this problem be solved by using the ItouchDS? If not, would any other cart solve this problem?

[iwakura]

getting the itouch will solve this problem. (or any other cart)

[peachcloverlauper]

Does the ITouchDS also have compatibility with with games that use SLOT2? That is, is there anything that does not work on the ITouch?

PS-Thank for your earlier help.

[amished037]

It's weird, I just got the iTouch DS, but the iGame menu never shows up, just the iFAV and the iCARD. Any idea on why this is?

[blueshadow22]

idk but i really like the R4 more than any thing else.....i guess its b/c ive been using it for quite a long while already.

[xTop4Zx]

Ya, lol everyone thinks R4 is best. It's just preference.

[kazumastars]

Okay , so you seem pretty familiar with all these flash carts. My brother has a DS Lite and i have an Original DS Phat and I was wondering which cards we should both get. We're not looking to play movies or music or homebrew or anything, we just want a great, cheap, flash cart to play nds games. What would you suggest?

[ShadowSeax]

Is a Micro SD card inclusive?

[iwakura]

nope

[froogin]

How do you add the cheat codes? I'd download the manual but it doesn't work for me, can you just explain it to me?

[iwakura]

I've actually never tried...I believe you just have the cheats saved in a file that you can download online...and then select them to be loaded for a game

[LakerForever24]

realhotstuff's prices are alot higher than other sites.

[iwakura]

I'm not saying this because they gave it to me, but there aren't that many website that are cheaper, and it isn't by a lot. the only website with considerably lower prices is dealextreme, but it has 2 weeks deliver (at least) and isn't great at handling reviews from my experience.

[hihowareyou22]

is there any difference in speeds of microSDs? i got a 4GB one. will it be slower than a 1GB or 2GB?

[iwakura]

differend SDHC cards have different speeds. your speed depends on what class your microSD is. if you bought a class 6 microSDHC, then it'll be far faster than a 1 or 2 gb

[hihowareyou22]

what about a class 4? thats what mine is. does the class affect speed of the games? or just load times? or what? thanks :)

[iwakura]

class 4 should do just fine.

some games just require really fast loading because they were poorly programmed (even the real game if you bought it from a store had the problem). if the card is fast enough, it can play even the poorly programmed games without a problem. however, only 3-4 games out of thousands have this problem, so it's not much tow orry about.

[swiv2d]

Atill would stick with the CycloDS but still having trouble with Moonshell I 've installed but can never play any files on it, music movies, was just curious how many gigs on your micro card.

[iwakura]

I use 2gb microSD's

you can't even play MP3s with moonshell?

[swiv2d]

Yeah like I' load them on but when I select the songs on moonshell it just lists files, all so confusing.

[Drgnak]

Wasn't there a version made for the Cyclo DS on the website? If you aren't using that, you should try that version.

[tal32123]

movies have to end in .dpg so you have to find a converter

[Tokiopopski]

I still like the R4 the most :P

[frostvideo]

Very nice reviews, watched them all but what happend to your old camera? :(

[iwakura]

actually, it's not the camera, it's the video encoder x_x I don't have the same good software I had before to encode the videos...

[frostvideo]

What kind of file does your camera video files pop out as?

[iwakura]

wmv, which is actually in really good quality. the problem is when I combine the videos, I don't have a good combining program. Do you know of any?

[frostvideo]

Windows Movie Maker is always a good and fast choice of combinding videos and adding some fade affect or text if wanted. Otherwise I know a pretty good program that I've sent you PM about.

[Nin10doFan]

Yeah!  You beat GBAtemp's review! :D

[iwakura]

yep! :D all thanks to your suggestion

[chojinhaiiii]

is there a place in america where i can buy flash carts  not online?anyway great review!5/5

[iwakura]

hmmm probably some stores carry it, but it's technically illegal so you'd have to go to "shady" stores...

[bruno953638]

well looks like i got first coment nice vid iwakura

[iwakura]

thanks! :D
