And yes, it plays Lord of the Orb!

Oh, wow.  Now I really wish I had a DS flash cart.  Does it work well?

[idolminds]

Seems to work quite well, and according to some comments I read its got good compatibility. Though I only ran LotO (because I haven't played it before and its the only Atari ROM I have).

Sweet.  I noticed there's a GBA version in that file.  I do have a GBA flash cart, so I could try that.  I'd need to find the PC-connection hardware and software.  It's all stored away, and the PC where I had the software installed is dead.

I'm not entirely sure how the whole GBA cart with DS stuff on it thing works. There are slot-2 (GBA slot) devices made for the DS. That was the original flashcart stuff until the slot-1 stuff came around. The .ds.gba files are for those slot-2 units.

Just not sure how they differ from the regular GBA flashcarts.

Oh, so this is some sort of auxiliary file to the NDS emulator then?  Yeah, I couldn't do much with it.

That's so cool, what they did with the touch screen.  I watched that little vid on their page.

I'll give it a try once I get Julia's old DS post-Christmas and the R4.
