Not an issue - the Konami retro DS set emulates 15 games and the ROM is only 16 meg.

Wow, sounds like both machines are getting shafted then. Maybe Konami are just gits.

I had that Pac-Man compilation, it was quite good. I was looking forward to the 50th anniversary Namco thing for the GBA, but it only has five or six games.

You know, it looks like our avatars are sharing a private joke with one another.

Would you like to share the joke with the rest of the class?

Hey, teacher! - Leave them kids alone!

EDIT:
Oh - Some nice titles heading VC-ward...

Hey, quick question for the War3z l33t kids like Rod out there as I'm a n00b when it comes to DS haxxorz.

Let's say, for example, that I wanted to run the Speccy emulator, the DSOrganiser thing, and also put some of my games on a single cart (and maybe try-before-you-buy ROMs), what do I need? I've found this:

R4DS + 2Gb Micro SD combo (Slot 1)

for a reasonable sum and was wondering if that's basically all I require? I want to play Starquake, Lords of Midnight and Highway Encounter. My finger is arched over the "Order Now" button. I'm guessing this is essentially the same thing as the M3 Simply card that RevStu recommended??

The R4 is ace.

Aside from it won't run GBA games with it being slot 1, its perfect IMO.

And I can definitely vouch that Starquake works absolutely fine... I was malfunnythinkin it this morning

Forgot to post the other day -

My mum opened her birthday pressie (white Lite, plus brain training and zookeeper) and was some chuffed to say the least. The phone call was like it was from a 7 year old, not someone who's had a bus pass for a few years.

If I'd have been recording it, I swear I could have flogged the call to Ninty PR department.

Thank you oddbob0! Don't really need GBA so this looks to be the thang for me.

Yep, like oddbob0 said, this is all you need. My R4DS arrived before the Lite itself

Don't think you can dump your own Roms, but they're "available" quite easily.

The R4 is stupidly easy to set-up and use, too. Just drag and drop your fiL3z from the Finder onto the Micro SD card, and you're done. Too easy, really.

They're being saved for DS Namco Museum 2?
