Mooney Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 To use ARDS with a real DS game cart: 1. Put the ARDS into the DS card slot (slot-1) and boot up the DS.2. When prompted, take the ARDS out, and put in your DS game cart.3. When the AR software detects the game you inserted, choose your codes and press GO.4. If you chose the option to save codelist changes, you will be prompted to reinsert the ARDS. Once the changes are saved, you will be promted to reinsert the game card. You can add/update codes using the PC software and a USB cable. And no, it will not work with a flashcard. Also, if you have a slot-2 (GBA slot) device, hold "Select" while booting up with the AR inserted to load that slot-2 device in DS mode (Just like a PassMe/NoPass card).

Haldrie Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I didn't know you could use the ARDS as a passme. Now I need to get a slot-2 card and try that out. I got an ARDS last month but haven't used it much since I got my R4DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassMe is a device that lets you run NDS games off of a slot-2 flashcard/cart. For more info, see the links in my sig and use Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how does that work why would you use slot 2 if you have slot 1?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haldrie Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Also slot-2 cards came before slot-1 cards so it was the only way people could run NDS roms on their DS until slot-1 cards were finally made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 so basically what your saying is you get an action replay, a blank gba cart, and a real DS game You put the AR in your DS, along with the GBA cart, boot and do the swapping stuff, and you can play GBA/DS games off the GBA Flash cart? Thats awesome, im so dumb for selling my DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haldrie Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Only newer slot-2 cards support running NDS software. Some run them better then others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
