You are then able to select, run/play these items from the touch screen menu. |
For a while, I thought my DSTT from DealExtreme was defective, or just flaky. Finally found two tips to make it operate smooth: Format the MicroSD card as FAT32, not FAT Put your games files & homebrew in a folder, not the root of the microSD card. Firmware goes in the root as always. Lockups & crashes disappeared after following these tips. |
I don't understand why there is so much fluctuation in the price of this DSTT. I purchased this on Wednesday for $6.61 shipped, now it's $6.99. I guess since they do business out of Hong Kong, they have their prices pegged to a currency exchange system. So that would explain the constant changes! I love when I answer my own questions... |

Finally found two tips to make it operate smooth: Part of the problem is in their implementation of how to write save filenames. Particularly files <=8.3 FAT format. This was particular in the game Iron Man. I'm willing to bet that you had a file that was very short and the .SAV file it wrote screwed up the games. Only certain games would work after that. The FAT tables gets even worse as the game locks up and you try to run it again thus creating ANOTHER .SAV file. Reformatting the FAT table then naming the game with more than 8.3 should fix the problem. I don't know if the current 1.16 firmware fixed that issue. Doubtful since they haven't even implemented simple sorting of games. If you want to try a different firmware for the DSTT to overcome its shortcomings, try YSMENU. |
I don't know the actual cause, but I was having two problems. Games would start to load, but never actually start. Both problems appear to be solved for me by those two tips. |
I'll have to look...last time I checked they were so expensive I said "no way" on the GBA card devices. |
Sorry to be ignorant on this, but what is this for? How does it work? |
Me too, dkempson, I'd love to know how to use this. Where do you get the software to load onto these cards? What can it do? |
This allows you to play homebrew software and/or back ups of NDS roms. A nice feature is that it will hold a bunch of your ROMS on one micro SD and let your kids pick from a menu of what to play. Of course I only suggest playing ROMs you actually own. |
From what I can dig up on it... It's similar to the M3 and the R4 flash carts. |

Exactly.... Great price for it as well... |
Thanks, I've been looking for one of these on sale for ages. In for one. |
caveet emptor. there's a hube fuss about the 'quality' of these cards. apparently, half of them are defective or fake. I would advise that you look at the comments before purchasing. |
Hehe. I don't really understand what this does but I am sure my son will know what to do with it and it makes a great stocking stuffer. In for 1. |
