Well this is my first post on these forums, so yay!

After buying a new DS after my old one sucked on account of a few too many drops I want to try some Homebrew on it before I try it on my main one.

Anyone have any Homebrew guides or what is the best one to get and what are the materials ill need to set this thing up?

Any homebrew games out there id also like, ive seen a few but have no idea how any of this stuff works.

Thanks for reading,

Check this thread for apps and games myds.com.au/

You will need a flash cart and most of these carts take a microSD card.
Which one to get is up to you because if you ask here, everyone will tell you the one they use is best.

The most popular is the R4 (I don't use this).

Supercard has had an ingame text reader for over 6 months.

I think the Supercard series are fairly good now. I think R4 is past its due-by date, since a lot of the features are the bare basiscs. I believe the site for the R4 things is down now as well due to the upcoming legal issues.

So, whats the deal with GBA and SD Cards? Do I need both?

Which is the best one for games?

EDIT: I've chosen CycloDS, so if i buy that do i need an SD card or does it have come with an SD card. Does it come with a USB adapter so I dont need an SD Slot?

How big is the software usually for the OS and games and such?

At the moment Cyclo DS looks the best.

Which ones have a built in memory expansion for Slot 2?

Do I need anything that goes into slot 2?
