Phube Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 Daggers - should I get a DS? I have a PSP but it's shit. I'm thinking a trade-in. I don't care about movies, photos and all the other bollocks the PSP does, I want good games.Guide me! You don't need Daggers... You need the Nintendo cleansing that only a Phube can provide!!!
hairy Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 JTB, my son has a PSP and I have a DS. I never really got on with the PSP but I love my DS. There are more quiz / puzzle games for it than the PSP and it is more fun.
James. Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 You don't need Daggers... You need the Nintendo cleansing that only a Phube can provide!!! Super. Ok, so if I do go DS which one should I get (isn't there a DS Lite or something) and does it makes a difference? Also which games are best? I have SNES nostalgia running through my blood... JTB, my son has a PSP and I have a DS. I never really got on with the PSP but I love my DS. There are more quiz / puzzle games for it than the PSP and it is more fun. Thank you sir, I'm thinking the DS is the way forward.
hairy Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 DS Lite and you dont buy games you get a M3 Real card and download the games from here DS Roms
Phube Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 Super. Ok, so if I do go DS which one should I get (isn't there a DS Lite or something) and does it makes a difference?Also which games are best? I have SNES nostalgia running through my blood... Get a DS Lite, not only is it smaller with a bigger (more comfortable for adult hands) stylus. But the screen is brighter an better. The DS also has a slot for playing GBA games, so you can play Very SNESy type games via that. Games wise I'd say: New Super Mario Bros. Picross (puzzle) Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Contra 4 (Used to be called Probotector on the SNES) Mario Kart DS Tetris DS Plus many more!

If it's anywhere near as good as Zelda on the SNES I'm there. Mario Kart and Mario Bros - superb!

I don't care about movies, photos and all the other bollocks the PSP does, I want good games.Guide me! I got the kids a DS each for Xmas...and (having loved my PSP up to that exact point) found myself looking longingly at them...much like I do to town centre totty when out with the wife. Only the PSP doesn't punch you in the arm and pour beer over your head. DS Lite and you dont buy games you get a M3 Real card and download the games from hereDS Roms And here's the rub JTB - being able to have all my groovy games with me without needing to carry around a Tesco's bag pull of PSP disks. Only the site I ordered the kids ones from is not replying to any bloody emails and has not sent them (ordered on the 13th). Jim, which Trading Standards officer did you use?

Only the site I ordered the kids ones from is not replying to any bloody emails and has not sent them (ordered on the 13th). Jim, which Trading Standards officer did you use? This M3 real card intrigues me. Do you download ROM's to your PC and then transfer them to the card (which is inserted into the DS) via a USB cable? I'm not particularly technology wise... Do I need a memory card or something to store the ROM's on? I checked Amazon and they're charging £40 for the card and rumble pack. Would I need to get a memory stick on top of this? Thank you!

Daggers Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 Do I need a memory card or something to store the ROM's on? Yup - you'll need a MicroSD memory card. The kids have 2gig ones and I've got a 4gig one. Cock off.
Unabomber Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 Just been trying to D/L some games but when I try and open them it says that it is an unknown file, is there a program that I need to download first?
Daggers Posted 24 January 2008 Posted 24 January 2008 Just been trying to D/L some games but when I try and open them it says that it is an unknown file, is there a program that I need to download first? Open them? 1. Download. 2. Unzip using your favourite zip package. 3. Move the *.nds file into the NDS folder you have created on the memory card. *You need to have a System folder on the mem card with the DS system files in.

Daggers Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 Cunning plan 1: http://www.consoleup.com/ were dead fast They tried to skunk TPH. I used them and found them fine but ask TPH about them. Damn. Two weeks and nothing. He hasn't replied to a single email or website message. Cunning plan 2: Got my DS exchanged. Yea me!

Daggers Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 I live quite near there.Would you like me to burn it down? I would like you to give the fella a good anal rogering with a cheese grater covered in Tabasco sauce.
Daggers Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 I got a couple of R4DS cards instead from the lovely people at *some random place off Amazon.co.uk*. More complicated to set up (but only because of the dumb instructions) - nicer interface than the other one.
The People's Hero Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Jim, which Trading Standards officer did you use? Sorry Dagovic, only just seen this. You received the stuff yet? I'll give you some details otherwise.
Daggers Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Sorry Dagovic, only just seen this.You received the stuff yet? I'll give you some details otherwise. Not from them - and "they" haven't answered any email to date or the telephone. The credit card company have said they'll refund the money after 30 days so I'm going down that route - thanks for the offer. Oh, and if you speak to Gary soon can you let him know the ticket office were all out for Blackpool (although I guess he already knows).

Daggers Posted 8 February 2008 Posted 8 February 2008 If anyone wants a M3DS Rumblepack I have one spare...as the tossers didn't cancel my order. I've sold one and I'll be putting this on Ebay on Sunday if no one wants it before then. It's not been out of the pack, contains the M3DS, a USB interface and a rumblepack for the GBA slot. £32 plus postage.
