Smac jr tells me I can get something for his Nintendo DS (how kind of him to allow me to pay!) that will enable him to play, um... Backups of his games via some kind of flash card using ROMs.

Anyone know of this, tips on what I should be purchasing would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah I got one a couple of christmas's ago so my daughter could play backed up versions of her bought games.
Ours was called a supercard, cost me about $110 from Ebay and consists of 2 gizmos that go into the 2 slots on the DS with a micro or mini sd card fitting into one of the gizmos.
Also comes with some easy to understand software.
Ive seen ds games illegally packaged on torrent sites, if anyone ever suggested using one of these gizmos for playing illegal copies of games such as those available on torrent sites I'd hugely discourage it.
The 'supercard' looked like this, the part that went in the other end was called a passkey or something similar.

Tremendous. Thanks for that.

I think I have found what I need, it requires no passkey so only comes with the one card (that has a micro SD card to insert into it) that I can use to backup our games. Can't hurt to have 2 or 3 copies of the games I have already, just in case one of my other personalities want to play as well.

I have seen the ROMs on torrent sites, when I was browsing in disgust. I hope people boycott those sites.
