Any nintendo DS experts on here?

[mick cooper]

I have 16 Gb of Nintendo DS games, as a neighbour was given them, but didn't know how to load them onto a CYCLODS card

Basically they had to go on to a micro SD card, which was then inserted into the CYCLODS card (some proprietary spec for the early DS machines - I believe)

I saw a nephew of mine playing on a more recent DS variant, which had the games on a standard DS card (or so it appeared) so I sent the games to my sister, who copied them onto a SD card

and the game shows "there is no accessible software data "

Do the new machines not play old DS software (*.nds files) or am I missing something in the SD root that is necessary to make it work?

OK - in the absence of any help on here, if anyone knows a good site for gaming where there might be a forum I could ask the question - I would be grateful if you could pass it on.

Mick, try Gamespot.com. There's forums on there, give them a bash.

I think there's software that takes care of it some how, it's called R4 I believe. If not, couldn't you just save the files and buy some blank DS cartridges? (actually that might be what an R4 is) I hope I've helped

Here: http://www.r4ds.me/ I think this might be what I was going on about

 

[mick cooper]

so is the R4 card one of these?

what is the difference?

damn this stuff is confusing

I have no idea sorry, forgive me? [-o< ummm... ask these guys, they seem to be discussing that sort of thing http://www.gamestracker.com/ds-forum.htm

Have you updated/flashed the firmware, this normally helps in other cards
