Me: Is It illegal to buy a rom cartridge off ebay? Attorney: A what? Me: It plays all the DS Pokemon games at once. Attorney: *click*

GameFreak: we can’t get all the Pokémon on one Switch cartridge. Some dude: We put all the Pokémon games for DS on one DS cartridge.

Plot Twist: Proto is the seller and this was a free advertisement. I'm seriously buying this though it looks dope.

So basically, it is an R4 cartridge with games already on it.

Go through Sinnoh and Unova again? HEALL YES! would buy such an a heatbeat

Funny thing about the Black game. It's a rom hack from Drayano to make the game MUCH harder.

Especially if it's "Heart Gold / Soul Silver" those games hold price

Is it worth it, absolutely. Is it anything you couldn't mod yourself? No, you could customize a spare ds and mod it for free but this... this works on unmodded 3ds and ds lites, dsi, and 2ds. You could always buy an R4 cart too, but this would require you to find the roms yourself.

It's kind of interesting that these DS games can fit to an 8 GB flash drive, I think -- in theory, you can put all Gen 1 to Gen 5 games in one Switch cartridge, and selling it for say $120 dollars will probably have fans still be nuts for it.

This is piracy... For the seller, at least. Have fun with your flash cart!

Oh my gosh. So thats what this was. Back when I was like 7 or something, I was at a funeral for my moms friends relative, and this kid had a shit ton of games on his ds. He said something about his uncle getting it for him or something. So many years later, I finally find out the reason as to why he had so many ds games when I didnt. *It all adds up now.* Makes me nostalgic seeing how many freaking games I have now ;-;

I feel like you missed the R4 wave 10 years ago. All this was done by me as in 8th grade

I'd rather buy this than spend $30 per game cause I'm a poor baby.

“Switch support has been discontinued” That was quick.

Me: *buys the 208 in 1* Nintendo: WE GOT HIM, BOYS, GO GO GO, *Kicks down my door*

For anyone curious about R4 cards, I’ve dealt with around 150 of the R4 Gold Pro. Literally zero were defective. To get rid of the timebomb, simply install YSMenu firmware instead of the R4 kernel they instruct you to install. It is just a drag and drop of 4 files you can easily find, and it runs better anyway. Grab a class 10 micro SD card. A $5 32GB will hold around 300 DS games, plus well over 5,000 retro games (NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, GB, GBC to name some. GBA emulator runs badly so not worth it). For the ROMS, you should be able to find full libraries pretty easily. Total cost: around $15, total games: 5,000-10,000

For those of you who actually want to buy one of these, look for an R4 cart instead, these ones advertising themselves as "Tons of games in 1" have a "timebomb" that will render your cart unusable after a certain period of time.

5:48 hol up. Blaze Black 2 Volt White 2?

I'm a big fan of Kirby Mass Attack. They could totally make a version compatible with the joycons.

999 was an unexpected gem in this cartridge, but so glad it was on it. Of course there's always the Steam ver. but I love the DS experience. Never available here in the UK, and when it is copies go for mad expensive.

Honestly just buy an r4 card on amazon for like $9 and then like install the roms that’s what I do to play ds rom hacks and games on my 3ds

Q: What do you get when you buy a flash cart for $20? A: The DS' entire legacy.

I would love to make a custom cartridge with all pokemon event roms on it

this just looks like a modified r4.

I ordered this exact same cartridge a few weeks ago, and the packaging had a note attached to it in big bold letters that you should back up your MicroSD card onto your laptop/ computer before using the cartridge in case of a "rare error" bricking the device. They also promote their contact information if you happen to need assistance with anything outside of recovering lost data on that same note. Their Etsy page for the cartridge also has over 4k reviews, with a vast majority rating it 5 stars. Though it only came with the inner cartridge case (the ones you use to hold individual cartridges), so I don't know how you obtained that 208-in-1 outer case.

Wait a moment, you only have 930 subscribers? And you’re the official ProtoMario? Blows my mind.

Might buy it, i love my ds’s and i don’t have to many pokemon games. If only this was for the switch :/

You deserve a gold medal I’m so glad you tested all the games to make sure they work🙏

Have absolute respect for you man! The sure amount of time and research you put into this video confirming if this DSgame(games), works on multiple DS systems, is just crazy.

5:48 That's Pokemon Blaze Black 2, a rom hack of Pokemon Black 2

I love these types of videos! I hope you'll make more reviews of bootleg products like this 😄

I remember the days of wishing for a GBA cartridge that was "Every Game Ever" that was exactly what you'd think; all GBA games in one. I can't believe that dream just came close to true.

Hell, if i didn't have the carts myself, I'd buy it just for the Dragon Quests. The DS remakes go for almost the price of a Heart Gold/Soul Silver at most stores.

Thanks for the feedback proto, I just saw this one online and was thinking about picking it up myself. With all that said, I'll probably pick one up. Thanks.

why does nobody notice that black 2 is actually a from hack blaze black 2

Btw Pokemon black 2 & White 2 are Pokemon blaze black and Volt White in this cardridge

DS OFW: $30 Per Cartridge (CIB avg) All In One: $20 DS CFW (Homebrew): Free

In my opinion the 2DS feels great in my hands. It’s not too top heavy.

When I was younger my friend had something like this and I thought it was the coolest thing. I remember my family took me and my brothers to the fake electronics market and at the time (11 years ago) they had a list of a bunch of games and you got to choose which games you wanted and then theyd make a cartridge for you. I didn't go through with it because I wanted a premade version like in the video.

Hello guys I just got my 208 in 1 in the mail today it works really well no glitches no problems at all save files work I’ll update if anything bad happens

On this cartridge (which I have) b2w2 are blaze black 2 and volt white 2 rather than the original so if you are purchasing be careful

this is literally just an r4 with games downloaded on it. its no different from just downloading the .nds titles off the internet

The real question is: Can you transfer them with pokemon bank?

After playing pokemon on emulators I cant go back on ds. It's too slow, I have to have fast forward on at all times

I bought this for my brother before he went back on duty in California and i tested it out and i love this thing

So an R4? I got mine in Mexico for 10 bucks

Kinda tempted to buy this since I have my Black 2 and White 2 completed w/ shiny charms for hunting and I don't have an extra game to play. Thanks for the video

I got one of these at a swamp meet when I was 7

Thank you, kind sir for informing me about this. I wish I had learned about this like a month prior so I could have a bunch of Pokémon games to distract me during this quarantine… well better late then never

I have this one and it’s honestly awesome! It seems to work fine on my DSi XL, my original 3DS, and my 2DS. The BW2 games are modded on mine but every other game I’ve played on it has been normal. For anyone else looking to buy this one, I will note that if you jostle the DS too much your game may crash, such was the instance when I was playing FE 11. My game crashed and I lost about 30 mins of progress, so just something to note. I’d still highly recommend it, I got to try many new games and even was introduced to one of my now favorite games of all time, Ghost Trick!

12:16 my favorite sentence in this video: "Is it illegal? Apsol-utely! It's piracy."

Man, I bought this exact same cartridge a month ago for the dragon quest games. What a weird coincidence to see a video on it around the time I bought it

I already have an R4 with a lot of games installed, including every DS Pokémon game, so I'm good for now.

Proto it's not a problem with the DS reading games, it's actually on nintendo's blacklist...

Mom: you can buy one game Me:

When he said Ben 10 was bad I was so fucking pissed. That game was fucking insane

This is super illegal lmao! Great content!!

Just bought one a couple weeks ago. It was only $10 and so worth it.

Just ordered the same cart today on AliExpress for $16. Nice collection of games. I'll be using it on a DS Lite.

I got that same exact cartridge for my DSI XL and I'm very happy with it.

I bought one a while ago & it's great. I got rid of singer of the ROMS & added some that I got online. Best purchase ever note I don't carry as many games as I used I too.

10 years ago I had all Pokemon from DS consol on my wonderfull DeSmuMe emulator.

Essentially, you purchased an R4 with nothing but all the DS titles on it. There's a lot of these out there and it's nuts barely anyone talks about this.

Plot twist: he's the one selling them, this is secretly an ad

3:50 Holy crap i have the exact same dsi!!

Yeah, there’s already 3DS compatible R4 flashcarts out there.

I love your whole attitude about this bro thanks for the video and the information now I’m gonna go buy me one of these things now.

Oh you got a DS XL too. I always thought my XL was ugly compared to the regular sized ones

*Nintendo wants to know your location*

That Black 2 looked like a rom hack, might be the difficulty hack. K forgot what it was called, blaze and volt was somewhere in the titles I think

There is a way to get back to the Menu! Press L and R And ABXY at the same time and it takes you back to the menu to select a ROM.

He didn’t mention that the black 2 and white 2 are actually Drayano’s Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2 I already have this cartridge and you can trade between one of the rom hacks and regular games.

Just homebrew your 3ds, you’ll be able to play all of the first 7 gens of Pokémon,p with rom hacks.

Everyone's already said this, but this is just a bootleg r4 clone. I wouldn't trust these cards preloaded with games, as they could have what's called a timebomb on them. Basically after a certain date the card no longer functions. If you want a card like this, I'd say get an "r4i gold 3ds+ rts" (that's a mouthful). It doesn't have a timebomb, and I would say it's the best of the r4 clones. It can also be used to easily mod your 3ds. You mentioned that you thought eventually a 3ds version of a card like this would start popping up on the market. They actually already came out with a 3ds flashcard. It was called gateway 3ds, and at the time it was released it was the only way to play backups of your games. To my knowledge, you could only store 8 games on it period. Once a game was on the card it was on there forever. I don't think we'll be getting anymore 3ds flashcards anytime soon, because instead of buying one of those, you could just mod your 3ds. Not only does modding a 3ds offer more features than a flashcard, but it's also free (at the time of writing). As for ds flashcards, they'll probably stick around until ndsbootstrap gets full compatibility.

Legally speaking flashcarts like this a gray area. Its very illegal for the sellers to make these if they're operating in America, but the bootleggers making these are in like Guangzhou, China so yeah copyright and IP laws are basically nonexistent in China so they'll continue to get away with it till the end of time. As for America though its technically not illegal to purchase such things because whether you're aware that piracy was involved in making a X number of games in 1 console/flashcart in a court of law you're legally presumed to assume the product sold to you was made legally and you're not at fault if you purchase it even if that turns out not to be the case at all later. That's why in America bootleg crap like that is sold in flea markets and at places like bed bath and beyond and Walmart. Leagal issues get lost in tranlation further when a seller sells to another seller then they sell it to the consumer. The only guy that could potentially be on the hook legally is the manufacturer and only if they're located in a place (I.E. pretty much any first world country that isn't China) that has antipiracy laws and companies that would actually be willing to pursue legal recourse.

Transformers and Ben 10? How dare you slander my childhood.

It must have been my mind playing tricks on me but I think I might have saw the sims when he was scrolling through the game list

Does it also work on ver. 11.13.0-45E ??? Update: it does and im very happy with it

damn i felt called out by that comment about the cartridge having Transformers and Ben 10, those are both franchises i loved as a kid😭😂

Bruh I’m buying one already today and didn’t really need to watch the video, but the music is so satisfying and it’s nice background noise.

I’m just curious, could you use the poke transporter with this cartridge?

I have one of these not the exact model I have one that has 500 in one it's definitely worth the money I think I paid $30 + I only got it because I had some of the rom's on this cart I just can't use the actual cartridge's any more because some of pins are pretty fucked and now there unplayable so yeah it was worth the price

It has Shrek, I’m in

Cart works with my dsi and non "new" 3dsxl

1:24 switch support discontinued 🙄

I saw Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood when you were showing the back of case. Wtf, that doesn’t even make sense. 🤣😂

This is worth it just for Pokémon Black 2 imo. I can’t find the fans for under $100

I love mine. I'm disabled and have limited income and can't afford to buy old DS games for ridiculous prices. People want around 25 dollars or more for games hat can be played for free thru emulator. I have DSI Xl, 3DS XL, Vita, WII U, PS 2, and no way to buy games from anyone else besides the greedy secondary market.

I always wanted to try it but always worry about breaking my handheld

When you booted up black 2 the text near Prof juniper said "blaze black 2" is this actually blaze black 2 instead of regular black 2?

One of these is how I got introduced to a bunch of new games that I now love and follow the series of Got it back on the ds years ago

Nintendo is probably losing more money from gamestop charging used games at 3 dollars less than new.

I'm shocked this works

Is there a time bomb on this tho?

im not here for pokemon, but i saw dragon quest 5 on the thumbnail

Does it work with Firmware 11.13.0-45U current one on an Old 3DS XL !?!?

This prove that Nintendo could add alot more in the ds games

I ordered the 7 in 1 Gameboy thing on Amazon, but it hasn't come in yet, I ordered it the day you posted the vid :/

Bought this for the Pokémon-titles and the many other JRPG's on the cartridge. Just one cart for hours of fun! My DSi XL and 2DS XL will not be retired for a long time!

i legit just bought a dsi the day you posted this lol, because I was craving pokemon on original hardware not emulation
