Its so foreign to me that someone this versed in technology has never actually had heard of or even had a flashcart for his ds

"16 pounds for 500 legit DS Games". I definitely wouldn't use the word "legit" lol

"I'm not even going to scroll down here to see if there are actually 500 games" *Proceeds to scroll through all 520 games*

alternate title: guy from the 1st world discovers R4

when you repair Nintendo consoles for living but gets shocked by the concept of an R4 card

It's a flashcard. It's a card containing loads of (questionably obtained) roms

"Spongebob Atlantis Square Panties" my favorite Dickelodeon show.

My man, that's straight up an R4 card, one of the best purchases I've done

My parents bought me this instead of the individual games, that saved me who knows how much money

16 Pounds??? Jesus, that’s a lot of weight for a ds cartridge

“It was literally about 10 pounds” Idk man sounds kinda heavy 👀

When I worked in a Thrifty Shopper; I once came across one of those advertising 482 games in 1. Not as impressive as yours; of course, but when I found out that it was actually a flashcart with an 8GB microSD Card in it, it became clear as crystal that the games on the cartridge didn't really matter in the slightest. If you don't like any of the games on the cartridge, you can always get rid of them and put other games on it that you do like. You can also replace the microSD Card that's in it with a bigger one if you want more space to play with.

“You can’t save here” “oh no it hasn’t saved anything”

it's like this guy has never seen a flash card before

“Square .. panties?”

New Super Mario Bros. "Hey that's a 3ds game!" "No it's not it's a 2ds game" "No it's not a just a regular ds LITE game" Dude this guy's got his terminology back to front 😂

so, basically is an r4?

5:08 It didn't save because it said it didn't save! You even read it out loud!

I was wondering why this got recommended to me, then i watched the comments alongside the video and i understood completely. Thanks for this gem, youtube.

Fun fact You can add cheats to the games by pressing Y on the list of games

Spongebob SquarePANTYS?

"SpongeBob Atlantis Square Panties" Me: *ah yes*

Ah yes, I have a 208-in-one cart. I've had it ever since I got my 2DS, and I cherish both of them. It's got Mario, Pokémon, Kirby, Plants vs Zombies, etc. I've actually 100%'d New Super Mario Bros. on that cart as well, which I'm still really proud of! I'm never deleting that save.

2:49 I died. Atlantis squarepanties

6:12 Peppa, what are you doing in my DS?

"You can't save here do you want to continue" "Yes" *surprised pikachu face* "Oarh yeah look it didn't save my game"

I actually somewhat remember having this when I was 4 or 5. I think I played Mario Party DS and more stuff like that. Although it had a black/blue background and It might’ve been a different application but the icon it shows in the DS menu was still SpongeBob from what I remember.

I remember everyone who had a DS (two people) had these combo games. But I didn't, so I was super jealous

8:50 BRUH YOU PRESSED EVERYTHING EXCEPT FRIGGN START

Rofl, basically an acecard flashcart with preloaded roms. How much was this? Might be a cheap source for a flashcart.

I remember buying one of these a long time ago when I was in morroco and some of the games kept crashing but overall it was pretty fun

The best thing to do with that thing is to flash the cart with CFW and run unsigned code. Load that sucker up onto your internal storage and not worry about a silly cart after that.

A 520 in 1 game cartridge that really works? Gotta catch 'em all!!

An object inside of an object, which is inside of a case, which is inside of another case, which was inside of a store, which was inside of a section, which was inside of a city, which was inside of a county, which is inside a state, which is inside that country, which lies inside of a continent, which lies on this earth, which is inside of this solar system, which is inside this galaxy, which is inside this very universe we live in.

Interesting. I remember coming across something like that on Amazon when I was considering to buy Super Princess Peach for the DS.

you'd need a 40 gigabyte card for the entire library plus or minus a few gigs. ds games are 512mb on the highest end and the quality ones are about 32-64mb each, most pokemon games are from 128-256 mb, so they can consume a lot of space if you get all the versions. use these stats to plan out any future rom based projects and youll not be disapointed

You know cartridges like these store so many games, It's weird how "Memory limitations" are kind of a thing of the past, But First party developers never sell physical game bundles.

Everyone’s dad/stepdad got them one of these from a dodgy friend

I found one of these on amazon that came with movies converted to the .dpg format. Some of them were Coraline, Toy Story 3, The Polar Express and A Night at the museum. About 620 games and a handful of movies? Now thats a deal.

"Square panties" got me dying bruh

In order to save new super Mario bros you must beat a castle

For some reason the one with 520 games has mostly shovelware. The cart with 208 games has most of Nintendo's best games.

The dashboard looks cool, other than that it's just like any other R4 card

I got a 208 in 1 because a lot of what I actually wanted to play was on it, plus I learned I can trade with Pokemon black on that with my physical Pokemon Black. Which was a pretty cool thing. Then not too long ago I got a flash cart and enjoyed more stuff with that as well haha

I saw shrek and started laughing

Its just a regular NDS Flashcard. The firmware, ROMs and saves are all stored on the Micro SD. It works, you're just using it wrong. Don't bother with these emulators, many of these NDS homebrew aren't updated in years, VC injections on a modded 3DS is way better. You can't run GBA Roms off a Slot 1 NDS card. The nds don't have enough power to emulate the GBA while in NTR Mode. NTR Modr can't acess and use the GBA hardware the same way as in proper AGB Mode.

That is an Ace3dsPlus flashcart. It can be bought for about $6-$7 on its own. Then they put an 8gm sd card stuffed with nds roms and sold it for 16 pound. The bad news is youll never get 3ds games to play on it, the good news, however, you can swap the sd card out for something bigger, copy the nds games over, add roms for sega, snes, nes, neo geo, gameboy (gbc), etc to increase its player value

When you record yourself pirating ds games.

1) you just got a flash card (like an R4), basically you can download roms and emulators from internet to your computer and simply place them in the sd card. 2) you can’t have 3ds games if the card doesn’t have the little half inch extension that every 3ds game has Everyone of us was surprised that you didn’t knew existence of flash cards like famous R4. Btw I think they’re illegal. Onestly you could have payed just a few bucks for a flash card without an sd card and then download the firmware from official website and put it in an sd.

"You can't save here are you sure you wanna quit?" "Yes...Oh no! It hasn't actually saved anything." This is why you shouldn't get stoned before making videos kids...jk...kinda, maybe.

These cards work so good. Rarely will you ever come across problems but i find if you try to save too many games on the SD it will start to crash and glitch out. There’s some stuff you gotta do to update the card and you won’t ever have that problem. These carts are the best thing to emulate ds games for free

for anyone wondering how to get emulators on it all you have to do is put the micro sd card into your computer, and download the emulator for the console you want to emulate e.g., snes9x and put it on the root of your sd card as well as the game you want to emulate where you can put where ever or in a roms folder. Then put the micro sd card back in your game cartridge and put it back in your ds. When you are in the selection of ds games press b and this will give you 3 options and locate sd and press a on it from there scroll and locate you emulator, press a on it and it should open up. From there the emulator should search for the game and it will be in its directory ready for you to play or you will have to manually search for and just have to find where you put your rom.

Person: New Super Mario Bros. was a 3DS game! me: aggressive sweating Person: No its not me: sighs of relief

208 DS games cartridge that you seen in the liisting is the way to go . It has so many great DS games on it , they play 100% , and also has save files on it . I brought two of the 208 DS games cartridge for multiplayer and that work perfectly also . These are must buys for DS lovers and people trying to build up their collection and cant afford to buy these games individually.

Being the one kid in your school with an R4 was great because when you pulled out 10 consecutive bullet bills you could just pass it off as being reeeeaaaally good at mkds

When my mom got me this game for a surprise this how I discovered super Mario 64 DS

Hold up, I had a game cartridge like that once for just pikemon heart gold and it also registered as spongebob's Atlantis squarepantis

The moment it saved I died lmao I feel this man he just discovered something insane

When your UI brought up and you had mentioned the file moonshell, it brought to mind a two Parts external hard drive system that I had bought for my original DS. There was the main programming in the DS cartridge and the external hard drive would actually slide into the Gameboy Advance slot. This was at the time rather expensive at $50, but the most interesting thing that I had ever purchased for my Nintendo DS. I wasn't well-versed in the application of emulators and using ROMs, but I was able to have video files, music files, and I did find an assortment of interesting home-brewed applications that I had downloaded to this external hard drive. I definitely agree that you have found an excellent product at a very cheap price for what all you can do with it

Man, I love this Version of the intro… why haven’t we seen this intro from the retro future recently?

That's nostalgic. I had one of these. I might get a DS just to get one of these cards again.

To save in New Super Mario Bros. you have to beat the gray towers and the blue castles, then it'll ask you if you want to save

I bought one of these after watching your video and it's well worth it. Was able to delete any games I didn't want that it came with and add anything I wanted to. It really does work just like a flashcart.

Restoring and repairing old consoles and devices has always been a passion of mine gotta say love your content bro keep up the good work

Omg I actually recognized a lot of those games from when I got my first ds lite, there’s also Pokémon diamond

This ACE3DS+ is a flashcart that works with the 3DS and DS handhelds. You can actually order one with an 8GB card for less than what you paid for this. The main difference is that they did the pirating for you so you don’t have to worry about your ISP yelling at you.

“Legit ds games” I do not think you know what that word means :)

Moonshell uploads all the sounds for the DS series

So this is what it's like when somebody that doesn't know a thing about the ds makes a video about the ds. All basic rom stuff and he doesn't have a clue

SpongeBob Atlantis squarepanties Is my favorite TV special

This one is the misterious DS Cartridge compatible with your DS, DSi, 2DS, 3DS, XL, etc.

I recognised some of the games in that list, like Countdown, Deal Or No Deal, Crazy Frog Racer, Flips Percy Jackson and more. This is just a standard DS flash cart (the ACE3DS+ (not actually for 3DS games, just compatible with the 3DS and its many stability updates) from the firmware info) with a custom sticker on the front. If you put the roms for other systems in the right folders, they'll be able to load up, if the emulators are already on the Micro SD card. Otherwise you can easily add your own DS compatible emulators anyway. I used to love my Acekard 2i and my R4 3DS back when I was in my early teens, although these days I do tend to actually buy games rather than pirate them. But for £16, this is a fairly decent flash cart for those who are new to the DS scene, and DS games aren't making money for the publishers anymore, because they can only be bought on the used market, so pirating them isn't as harmful as it would have been 10-15 years ago.

"you cant save here" oh noooo it didnt saaaavee

I Remember using one of these back in the days. We call them "r4" (that's the commercial name here) I used to download every single game I came across with, and never play it at all

I got the feeling not everyone watched till the end

R4 are legendary. Most proper everdrives for other systems are very expensive, and while I own some of the high end everdrives, my R4 gold was like $15 years ago. I can backup GBA saves on it too.

I like how suprised he is by a regular flashcart lol

Its literally an r4 card

Did anyone else notice Lord Shrek’s appearance

I'm shook that a flash cart has you shook especially when you're this experienced in this kind of stuff. Wait till he gets an EZFLASH omega and how it fits in the DS lite perfectly with the alternative cover. >:]

So basically I can buy an R4, install a shit ton of roms and sell it for a higher price

I remember buying a 280 in 1 copy when I was young. I personally enjoyed using the copy.

this was the first video of yours i watched back in 2018. and you have inspired me so much. that's why im making my own second channel focusing on portable gaming devices. i will talk about All of the GameBoys. addons for these systems. forgotten systems. or just plain weird systems. i hope that you are happy for inspiring me!

Game: You can’t save here Him: Oh it didn’t save

Nice find and another great video! It appears to just be a regular R4 card (Ace3DS Plus) which they’ve preloaded .nds backups on. The 3DS logo only means it can be played on a 3DS/2DS because older R4 cards don’t work past the DSi. The price would seem worth it if you just want to plug and play the 500+ DS games and not bother downloading all of them yourself! Which may be a little more challenging to do now anyway after Nintendo took down a bunch of rom sites... haha 😆

It really bothered me when he didn’t check on the 2ds after it wasn’t working on the DS lite ...

amazing only downside is having to scroll through that monster list each time

This literally ended up being my Christmas present. Thank you for making this video lol

After looking at a few DS flashcarts, I believe that that DS cartrige went through this. Someone bought an Acekard DS, loaded a bunch of DS games on it, modified the menu, recased it, boxed it, and sold some.

I might get one of these. 16 pounds? Seems pretty affordable. But I'm definitely gonna wipe the card, replace the UI with TwilightMenu, throw my game backups on there, etc.

My uncle gave me one of these at the peak of the ds for my birthday and it didn't work so he took it and said he'd bring me a new one. I never got that new one so it's cool to see what it really was.

I once bought one of these for about $20 and it passed off as Pokemon Soul Silver. That was the only game on it, and the micro sd card that came with it only had 256 MB. Recently I switched the micro sd card for one with better storage and put a lot more games on it.

For everyone who is saying “he’s just discord flash carts”, Nintendo is really cracking down on ROM sites. It’s a lot harder to find ROMs than it used to. For £16 you get; a flash cart so you can add your own roms, a ton of ROMs already (some including big names like Super Mario 64 DS and Pokemon HGSS), and if your a collector looking for a rare box you can keep the game in that like case in it.

I’m dying at “Spongebob’s Atlantis… square panties..?” 💀

This guy has literally made a really cool and technically impressive gameboy for MrBeast, and the poor fella's most viewed video is him discovering an R4 card for the first time.

New Super Mario Bros, *THAT’S A 3DS GAME.*

You'll probably struggle to find one of these cards which has 3DS games on, because they stopped developing them and the ones which still exist are getting expensive. The current favoured approach to, ahem, "homebrew" is to use a CFW such as Luma3DS. You can definitely get a Gameboy emulator on that!

I had a r4 card when i was young so this is a trip down memory lane

R4 are useful when: - You want to have your 30 games with you but not travel with 30 cartiges . - Keep your games in a safe room while playing. - Play and programming homebrews. And scammers have found a new utlity... -_-'

I have one of those, when you are cheap it’s the best thing to buy, something else (idk if you can do it with others) you can download the games on your computer and pass them to your card, it’s pretty cool.
