Well my friend just got a DSL and I told her about flash cards. Is the DSTT still a good buy and is it easy to use. She is bad with complicated stuff and is there a beginngers guide for flash cards?

Hehe Moo said:The DSTT is great, but there are quite a few problems that you face having a flash cart like this.
These include:
- Rom loading failure
- Corruption that requires constant reformatting
- Any long cheats run of the screen and are unreadable.
- Notes that are underneath the cheats are not shown on this flash cart
So there you have it. Tell your friend to get a CycloDS or an EDGE or something. Just don't get an R4 or M3. Overall, the DSTT isn't really that bad.

I've never had a single instance of the first two problems you list (sounds more like a defective SD card issue to me), and the last two problems are incredibly minor and can be eliminated by using YSMenu anyway.
The last two points are fixed in YSMenu, and the Rom loading failure is due to fragmented ROMs, or if the rom is uncombatilbe. I've never had corruption failures.Hehe Moo said:- Rom loading failure

Hehe Moo said:Bri have you bought anything from DealExtreme?
I heard the prices are amazing...
Yup! The prices are great. The shipping time stinks (usually 2 to 3 weeks if the item is in-stock).
Ah.. ok. I don't understand how they can sell stuff for 10 bucks that is usually sold for 40-60!cepheus said:http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15613
Order this one! It takes a while to ship as with all DX stuff but it is the new DSTT (U-shaped microsd slot).
Note that that one doesn't have a microSD reader with it, so you'll either need to buy one separately or get this one (which comes with a crappy microSD reader for less than a dollar more): http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10289
