Excellent idea, while you're at it you could use that same screwdriver to "disable" the top screen of the DS.To someone who's been using a 128 MB SD card with an MK3 for some long time, 512 MB with semi-perfect compatibility with roms and homebrew sounds like heaven to me
MK3... I feel for you buddie. Hope that's not your only cart :'(
512 that’s way more then anyone needs, I recommend sticking a screwdriver in the G6
Ram & shorting out the Ram to 128 or 64. Hell why on earth would you need all that
Ram? To have room to check out all the new games that come out every day? That’s
crazy talk! 64 Meg is all anyone needs.
As a matter of fact, that was my only card(with its gba card), and it even bent the pins on my DS card SLOTTo someone who's been using a 128 MB SD card with an MK3 for some long time, 512 MB with semi-perfect compatibility with roms and homebrew sounds like heaven to me

I just got my DS-X today and honestly I personally will have no problem using it with only 512. IF I were to buy a commercial cartridge I would only have one game.. so having 10 to 16 games does not bother me at all..
devante is 512 enough for you?
Good point, but I got it planned out.. When the games get too big for my G6L 4Gb, I get the G6L 16Gb that will undoubtedly be out by then. My 4Gb will then be used for GBA games & emulation of earlier systems.Yes your G6's and whatnot are enough right now when the roms are 20-64mb in size. What happens later in the DS's lifespan when games start to really push the DS's hardware? What happens as NAND (or whatever they use in real carts) gets cheaper and publishers dont care about cranking out 256mb games? Assuming you will need a couple MB of space for saves, will one game be 'enough' for you?
The technical max addressable by the DS port is apparently 4Gbit, or 512MByte (even though the largest we have seen so far is 1Gbit/128MByte) - all without using custom hardware (bank switching) like they did with some older cart based systems (so in the end it is quite possible to go as high as they'd want if they are willing to spend extra to develop and manufacture custom hardware).I still see from all the technical specs I've seen on the DS carts in the past that max size has to be 1 gigbit. But by all means, I'd like to be proven wrong to support bigger games with more depth like longer RPGs.
