Thanks very much for your advice. My research had shown that the supercard / superkey combo was probably my best option. And by the by, your heart rate monitor looks pretty crazy. Cool stuff. Thanks again! Awesome. Thanks very much for your advice. My research had shown that the supercard / superkey combo was probably my best option.

Cons: No extra memory, can't play GBA homebrew If you want a device that does everything, get the <a href="http://www.electrobee.com/product_info.php?ref=4&products_id=14" rel="nofollow">SuperCard Lite + SuperKey</a> -- This basically has the best compatibility of all available devices, lets you run GBA files, and has an extra 32MB of RAM in it (used by a few applications like DSLinux). Cons: Costs a bit more, requires either FlashMe(hacked firmware) or a NoPass -- luckily natrium is giving free SuperKey's(a type of NoPass) with all SuperCards, so you are covered. In addition to the above DS-devices you'll also need a MicroSD card, but they are pretty cheap. You can get 1GigaByte from <a href="http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston-1gb-microsd-secure-digital-card/q/loc/101/204134655.html" rel="nofollow">buy.com</a> for $15...and if you use Google Checkout as a new customer, you get $10 off!

I didn't know how many of us were out there! Haha, anyway. I just found your blog, some exciting stuff going on there in both areas. I also wanted to as you what hardware you use for your homebrew stuff? I have been poking around for awhile, but haven't settled down on anything yet, and I just can't wait. I have a DS Lite. Any suggestions? Thanks, and maybe I'll be showing my face around the community more once I get set up! drMikey Oh my lord, a fellow Flash developer who wants to develop on the DS!
