Ok, I am new here, just joined... Like this place alreay though its great!

Anyway, Just got my DSLite and found out about cards like the M3/R4 etc. Just wanted to ask a few questions about what I should get.
Now I am leaning towards the DSTT... because its cheaper
and I was wondering about MicroSD cards and what Brand to get? I wanted a 2GB SanDisk MicroSD but I read somewhere you need a Made in Japan one? Like Toshiba and the like. The SanDisk one was 10MB/Sec Read and Write speed... would that be fast enough not to lag any homebrew or Roms I put on it?

Any and All input would be great!

thanks in advance

the microSD cards that you get with the R4/M3 (if yu get the bundled packages) they're the good ones and i havent had any issues with them so far. They come with Kingston branded ones.

I have an R4 and its great. You pay for what you get these days though.

I too purchased a DS light two weeks ago, and Id actually ordered the R4 a few days before purchasing the DSL!

I have a M3 DS Real with Rumble and GBA adapter. It's awesome. I only got it a week ago. Better than my old supercard lite, obviously. The interface is really good. Also the card has SDHC support for +4gb size micro sd cards!

Cool. Thanks for the info! Hey what do you think of SanDisk Cards? I decided not to get a bundled pack with the Top Toy DS / DSTT. Although I can get Kingston or Toshiba cards... ebay is great this time of year!

Thanks for the input!!!

Hey, I just bought a TTDS Card with a 2GB SanDisk Micro SD card and they work very well together.

I got mine off ebay, has been the best buy I've made in a long time.

Goodluck!

No we are using them for legal purposes. You are talking about downloading games, that's against the rules! BAN HIM!

If your going to get a DS Flash Cart and you want it cheap then go with the R4 its the cheapest card on the market unless you go for bargain basement made in Taiwan breaks in 3 days quality.

Sandisk MicroSD cards are the some of the best cards on the market and are probably the best card you can get... although it is rivaled by the Kingston the difference between the two performance wise is unnoticeable
