I am using the latest versions of OPL and FMCB. I want to copy my ISOs to an HDD, so I need a SATA adaptor.

Which of the following adapters should i purchase ?

Kaico

Rgeek

Gamestar

????
Woah, all for 35$? Even if it's in Canadian $ it's still expensive.. Specially for the Gamestar one which you can get on Aliexpress (and such) around 15$ or less. Beware the Gamestar one doesn't have the ethernet port so keep that in mind. And there's some users claiming having compatibility issues with some games..
A better option imo, is to get an OEM Sony PS2 network adapter and get an IDE to SATA adapter. It's easy to assemble too..

Again, the price of those shouldn't be that high (and that's minus shipping?). you can get one in Aliexpress around 15$ or less too. Shipping is not much either..
Other than that, yes either should work fine, they're from the same manufacturer..

I have the Gamestar and used it for awhile and games seem to load fine.
Yea, I heard good things.. Though the lack of the ethernet port might break it for some people, since if you want to add a game for example you'd have to remove the hdd and connect it to your pc (everytime) in order to do that.. Also no online with XLink Kai for games like Socom etc.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
