Nintendo DS

Mario Kart DS is great. Equally as good as the N64 version. Metroid Prime Hunters is also very impressive, slighly repetative and frustrating at times though. Tetris DS was a little disappointing I thought in marathon mode but the touch mode makes up for it.
I've not heard good things about the browser (I dont own it, just what I've read), anyone here got it? Whats it like (better or worse than web browsing on an Amiga)?
Ita an amazing little console though and dont regret buying it for a minute.

Yeah I've heard that. I've got a black DS and was a little conserned before I bought one. I've now had mine for about 3 months, used it daily and its fine :nervous: (but very rearly clicked the screen all the way down to flat).

@motorollin

It's only a matter of time before there's a GUI and a graphical web browser :-D

 :-o The stuff of dreams! Do you run home brew on yours? Is it easy/worth the money/worth it? Is DSLinux any good?

@motorollin

I guess its not really worth getting all the home brew kit just to run it then (at the moment). I does look interesting though and (as far as I know) the PSP doesn't have Linux.  :-D  Will be very cool if the GUI can be sorted.

Thanks

@Debaser

Supposed to finally be an MP3/Media player software comming out for the DS - commercailly - anyone know the latest on that?

Did you mean the Play-Yan or the Max Media Dock? The Play-Yan is only avaliable in Japan at the moment (I found some on eBay though), but the other can be bought now.

@Debaser

That's cool. I haven't used either of them, btw, so don't know how well they work.

@Group

Has anyone here used the Max Media Dock? How good it is at running home brew? Is it better than a GBA flash card reader and Max Media Luncher/Pass Me/Wifi Me?

Thanks

Didn't know if anyone had seen this:

DS-Xtreme

Its an all in one memory card and homebrew loader and only used the DS cart slot. Looks good, if a little pricey.

Robert

Thats a bit of a shame. That would be my main reason to get a homebrew set up. Would yo say the M3 is the best to get? What would you get to boot the homebrew? PassMe? Max Media Launcher? No Pass?

Thanks for the info. Always fancied playing around with DSLinux and other homdbrew but didnt realise they were that expensive. Guess its time to save or just use it for games (but thats not as adventurous  :-D ).

Thanks

I've got a DS Lite and very happy with it. Just been looking into homebrew for it, trying to work out if its worth it. Only DSLinux has really got me excited at the moment.
Theres still games I want to get for it, so I guess until I run out of games I may hold off on the homebrew.

Sorry, for resurrecting an old thread, but I didn't know if anyone had seen Quake for the DS:

DS Quake

Has anyone played it? I would love to be able to play Quake anywhere, its one of my all time favourite games. (Sorry if this is old news to people.)

I didnt know that the other port had stopped. This one looks fantastic, it runs so smoothly. It may even make me buy a homebrew set up. Quake on the move is a dream come true. Cant believe Quake 2 is possible.
