just dont fucking buy flashcarts, a 3ds can run everything on there for CHEAPER ($0). homebrew is easy. Just dont pay money for pirated shit

here's a fun fact: they're making a flashcart for the switch. Prepare to start seeing these carts all over ads for temu and other sketchy sites. This Christmas will be full of confused older relatives.

I think these are going to be great for game archives so we don't lose any games.

Obtaining good pokemon games is either selling your testicles or download them

I have a 208 in 1 game, and it’s actually pretty solid

Why pay 40 bucks for a 200~ or so game cartridge when you can mod your ds

If they weren't so insanely expensive people wouldn't have to buy these, as i wanted to play pokemon platinum on my ds lite, but i wasn't going to pay the insane prices they were asking for, but it's still very much a grey area, and i wish they'd just re-release them on modern hardware, or make an officially licensed emulation device.

I originally got one years ago because my dad couldn't afford to be buying me multiple ds games and I was too young to know how to homebrew, only downside to these is the sd cards they provide are almost always going to give out sooner or later but you can just swap it with a real sd card that wont give out.

Imo it’s completely fine morally to buy these things Most of the DS (Also WII) library is abandonware at this point, Nintendo have made it clear they don’t care about preserving their stuff and third parties haven’t made an effort either. The last time a maximum of 20 titles ( drop in the pond for such a massive and diverse library) were available for purchase was on an unpopular consoles digital storefront. Which surprise closed shop when Nintendo got tired of spending minuscule money on hosting some servers. And y’know. Piracy is honestly just really based lol

Most people cant afford to pay hundreds of dollars for one pokemon game.. the ds games are pricey

Nintendo wants to know your location

I used an R4 in the past, I guess it's also a thing most people did where I'm from, as it was cheaper for most people to get multiple ROMs than buying a single DS game. I did buy Pokemon Black 2 (the best Pokemon game) a few months after it came out, because my thought at the time was to really get a legit copy instead of waiting for the ROM. If only I also had the foresight to get the other DS games physically as well.

It’s so crazy how expensive some of these retro games are getting in general

i remember playing mario hoops 3 on 3 with all my brothers as well as mario kart ds. we only needed 1 owner of the game and could join their game using the ds wireless connection. you could only race as shy guy but it was soooo much fun.

I don't trust in these flashcarts with games already installed tbh. That's why I got an R4 (which was quite cheap) and put games on it myself. Yes I could just use Twilight Menu++ but I prefer having DS and 3DS games separated -and my SD was quite full anyways, so a smaller one for DS is just more convenient to me.

nice vid! i went to look how many subs you had and i was shocked because the video such good quality keep up the good work defiantly earned my sub!😁

11:29 Glad I'm not the only one sharing this thought!

As much as you want to rip into this, remember, we can see the hshop on your DS

Does anyone know how to reset this up mine showed up in mail and within hour of use it says “Can’t open _ds menu.dat “?

I've been tempted to get one or more of these collections but i've been wondering about something about them?..Are there different games on these cartridges or do they have the same games and they just add more games to the cartridges with more games in them? I'd like to avoid more than one of these....Later

Bro is like, don't buy it, downloading a ROM isn't great either yada yada, but has hShop on his 3DS 😂

Every school and neighborhood had that one kid with an R4 card and they were automatically the most popular kid for that.

I bought heart gold for $120 cart looks very nice, normally i wouldnt do this but as a kid that game meant alot to me, i had invested 600+ hours on that save.. age 13 some jackass “friend” stole it from me and moved to the east coast right after 🤦🏽‍♂️

I'd like to know more about the cart. What software is it running? Which emulators? Which Neo Geo games are on there? Neo Geo has some beautiful games. You've got to check out Sonic Wings 2 & 3 and Windjammers if they are on there, some top fighting games and sports too, Metal Slug series, the list goes on and on

I got a couple bootlegs myself. Got a New Super Mario DS bootleg and a Dora Saves the Princess DS bootleg. Got them because they both were likely to be N-Cards which was the main reason I got them. Got them off eBay from a UK seller (and it appears that seller has normal stuff on his shop so maybe didn't know they weren't real). The errors in the label gave them away. The Mario game used a PEGI rating logo on instead of ESRB, USA text but with Europe game code. A very regionally confused label. The game code is the only thing correct on it as was indeed the Europe release of the game. The Dora cart's label was missing the 2K Play logo and had incorrect game code. (it did use the correct region text and ESRB logo though) Anyways the Mario game wasn't too interesting other then not being a real retail cart. It was some odd single rom cart with the game flashed to an eeprom chip of some sort. Unlike the cart you got it's not really a flashcart and has more in common with the GBA bootlegs. Shows up with the correct icon and works on unmodded consoles too. It wasn't an N-Card like I had hoped but that's why I got the Dora cart incase one of them wasn't. The Dora one was more interesting and was why I sought them out. N-Cards were very old flashcarts made back before the first R4's. They used internal nand to store the games instead of a MicroSD slot and required the use of a slot2 cart with a USB port on it! (you'd connect it to a PC and boot it up into a USB disk mode and the flashcart shows up as if it was a USB flash drive) The very cool thing about these carts is their compatibility is still pretty good despite not getting any firmware updates past 2008. The only games I've seen not work on them are the largest 512MB games (and only notable ones released outside of Japan that use that rom size are Pokemon Black 2/White 2) and games that used nand based save system (like WarioWare DIY). AP patches were not a thing back then so unlike the modern flashcarts that usually do some AP patches automatically you have to prepatch AP patches to the rom before copying them to the cart. (So some newer Pokemon game's AP measures will trigger on this cart which I confirmed through testing) Anyways the "bootlegged" version of these N-Cards use the icon from the game instead of their proper N-card (or N-Card clone) icon. (notable N-Card clones are F-Card, Fire Link Card, DS Linker, ExpressCart, etc) with just the single game flashed to a specific location on nand that the main rom loads after booted. (so no fancy menu UI to speak of. Just boots right into the game it was pretending to be) Unlike the Mario bootleg this one will NOT boot on unmodded consoles. For DSi you have to have HiyaCFW/Unlaunch installed to boot it from System Menu. On 3DS N-Cards don't even show up in home menu so homebrew like NTR Launcher or Twilight's slot 1 launcher are required to boot it. Anyways I figured out how to reflash the N-Card bootlegs to become normal N-Cards again so I can put multiple roms on them and that's what I did with the Dora cart. i've already written some homebrew to make doing stuff with these cards easier. I made a fork of GodMode9i (called GodMode9Nrio) that can transfer files/games to the cart with a DSi (since DSi lacks a GBA slot which was used for the USB device these cards normally use) and nrioTool which handled some diagnostic stuff like backing up important data from hidden parts of nand like the udisk partition. Right now I haven't found a way to alter the icon N-Cards use to show on the console's UI but it is possible. Someone just has to reverse engineer the DLDI driver so I can use modified write code to safely edit the banner section on nand. Long story short I got the 2 bootlegs because the hardware they used were interesting and not so much the pirated games they came with.

my 208 in 1 game goes hard

How many Gameboy games are on it? I have older flash carts but none have OG Gameboy games. BTW....Mario Hoops is an awesome game once you get in the zone. Thanks

Mine literally came with a case, I got it for £6 and it works fine, and i recommend people buy it 🤷‍♂️

Mario 3 on 3 and Mario Slam Basketball are the same thing, right?

Is the only way to change the game exiting the whole cartridge?

Pokemon games are really crazy expensive. Im lucky i got most of them when they first came out. The only ones i dont have are from gen 3 but damn they are too expensive

The coincidence that I bought an aliexpress flashcart for my gameboy and gameboy color cuz I didn't wanna pay expensive prices and I get recommended this video

Waiting on my Nintendo Switch version of this ❤

When I was a wee lad my parents got me a hacked cartridge for my dsi it had so many games on it and I don’t know where it came from but it was amazing and I no longer have it

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.

Bro has a modded 3ds yet he pays 40 bucks for a cartridge

Will all games save without any complications?

Jake is back

I bought one of these just cuz they were cheaper rhan a actual R4 card i use it for more homebrew stuff or to give myself events in gen 3/4 pokemon games

Uncle Jake your back!

Funfact:normally in all of those game cards for the ds if you press the y button and then the x button there should be a list of cheats for the game

I have Heart Gold and SoulSilver, I was offered 75 by gamestop a few years ago... Not selling them though lol

Can these cartridges hack your console?

It is a clone of the Ace3ds of yesteryear. I've had it for 3 years and these firmware cards have a ticking time bomb. What is a ticking time bomb in an Nds cartridge? It is an obsolescence program programmed so that in 4-5 years it will magically stop working. Solution? Change the firmware on the SD or go back the years on the console.

What was the rule again? Oh yeah it was "Rule 35" If a game exists it may be on a multicart.

I have one that’s similar and it works and the games save too

Where can I buy this

Does it still work?

*Do you like Pokemon?* : looks at my name....

YO THE CIRCLEJAKE IS BAK

why is dsp the face of beans 2?

If you cant buy something first party anymore and the aftermarket is scalped to high hell then Its not a bad thing. it only becomes bad once you are making money off of it bc its not yours to sell. But if you are just a fan who wants to play something from their childhood that you cant get anymore then i say go ahead.

Does it save?

i got one of those, not for the games though, i just wiped the shit, put new firmware on it, and used it to run homebrew.

WAIT ONE SECOND, I REMEMBER THAT PFP. WERE YOU THAT GUY WHO HAD LIKE A OLD KZfaq CHANNEL DEDICATED TO READING CRAPPY CREEPYPASTAS??

Flash carts with the whole library on them dont cost more than 10 dollars

shoutout to emulation

I bought a 482 in 1 for like $20 a few years ago

I’m definitely getting one

Eh, I got a flash card with the games I want and most functionality works, if retro games were cheaper I’d have no problem buying real but the bootleg will work 😂

I have a physical copy of Disney Pixar Cars. Highest bidder gets it for free

Im pretty glad youtube recommended your channel. I needed a good laugh

the switch is comin out with one too very soon

This is good for archiving ngl

never trust a bootleg game by it's cover

About the case. You should have asked the seller if it came with a box. I think i saw a few of them listed with a box. In fact i just asked one of the sellers. Also i heard these collections can brick the 3DS. Any truth to that? ..Later

I got the 210 in 1 ds games for $8.88 after taxes awhile back on ali express, it doesn't seem as good of a deal after seeing you get 4300 for $11 or so but what's weird is mine came with an actual ds case that I had to take the plastic wrap off of and had the little plastic clear case like yours does I only have a couple regular nintendo ds lites so it was fine for what I wanted

So I'm paying 40$ for a sd card adapter.

lol gray area. Gotta love my switch with tinfoil :p

11:37 me too. That art style is nice. I hated the chibi style in X and Y it was so ugly.

Emulation is forever! Use it!

I have one of these Don’t put it in a New 3ds Model Extremely Hard To Get Out It’s Ok in 2ds or ds No Problem😊😊😊

I do.

Four years ago, a regular game boy color in the local marketplace where i live used to be around R$ 150,00. A reasonable price. Checked and now it's around R$ 700,00. It's crazy that i used to buy it with extra money, just for fun. For reference, the minimum wage is R$1300,00.

I am not a boy. I am a Man😤 😂😂😂❤

😂 him:should you buy one? No because of the legality: f*** em lol what's Nintendo going to do sue China? Lol

everyone saying "mod ur ds" is stupid, does the ds lite/phat exists to you

R4 Card Better. I used it on my DS lite until I got my 3DS and I still use it on my 3DS to this day. 10 bucks on ebay well spent

Iam jake not you

I condone it. 😂

If you bought it, you condoned it. Just saying

THE ORIGINAL CIRCLE AVATAR IS BACK

i love this cart!

Everyone agrees with that hot take.

i liked this video 👍

Mario hoopswas awesome 👌

I gotta say. $100 for some stupid entertaiment you can get somewhere else or you can get for much cheaper of free is absurd
