Hi, I was looking for something to backup my games. Searching i found various options. And i came across with the ds-extreme thing. Has any one any information about this particular one?? would i need to buy something else?? or any other recommendation?? TIA !
From what I can tell, most people will recommend you purchase an M3 instead of the ds-extreme because most people want to be able to use the upgradable storage. The current DS-X is only 512 MB of storage space, however the new one should ship middle of April, and is 2 GigaBYTES of storage space (I hate the 4 gigabit, 16 gigabit crap they pull). Anyway, if you can live with the high price, and the set amount of storage space, it should be a good product. Otherwise check out the M3's I would suppose. And if you do get the ds-x, you wouldn't need anything else, unless you wanted to play backups of your legally owned GBA games, I don't think it does that.

And it make a strange click when you put it in. And dosent want to stay in some time's But it looks like a Better made card than the DS-x
Yes you can play clean back up images of your games on a DS- Extreme. I know they are pricy but I have just purchased the newer 2GB one. Will see how it goes when I get it. Better write up of it posted here.
