British cheat product specialist Datel has announced the latest addition to its range - the Action Replay MAX DUO, which allows players to use cheats for both DS and GBA games on Nintendo's new DS console.
The product, which sells for UKP 29.99, is essentially two different products in one - a GBA cheat cartridge which can be updated with new cheats over the internet, and the MAX Drive for DS product, which also allows users to archive DS save games on their PCs, which is particularly useful for games which only have a small number of save slots.
Datel also plans to create a selection of "Powersaves" for the DS which will have built-in cheats, and can be downloaded off the company's website.

The much talked-about controller for Nintendo's next-generation Revolution console is still under development, according to designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who explained that the company wants to avoid an overly complex design.
"We're at a stage where we're adding and removing various kinds of functions, which has been very fun," he said at a business strategy conference in Japan.
The company wants the control to be basic enough to fits it "All-Access Gaming" philosophy, which it hopes will encourage non-gamers to try out Revolution and its current line of handhelds.
President Satoru Iwata unveiled Revolution, which will be released next year and includes broadband access to Nintendo's entire back catalogue of software covering 8-bit right through to 64-bit as well as GameCube backs compatibility, at the company's pre-E3 press conference in mid May.
Adding his thoughts at the meeting this week, Iwata said: "We expect that you will be surprised with the Revolution's controller," in comments reported by US website GameSpot.
Further Revolution revelations should be made before the end of 2005, according to previous comments from Iwata.

In a Japanese press conference yesterday, Nintendo president Saturo Iwata gave us a few more tidbits about the Revolution, as well as more news on how the company's latest titles are doing.
Flanked by Shigeru Miyamoto, Iwata-san returned to his mission statement of bringing the simplicity and fun back to gaming, promising that the controller wouldn't be too intimidating for gamers old and new, and that it'd be wireless - sort of what we knew already, but interesting nonetheless. It seems, however, that a lot of time is going into developing it, with Iwata promising that we will be "surprised by the Revolution's controller." A touch screen, maybe? It'd make sense...
Talking of touch-screen magic, the DS has been a rampant success with Nintendogs, the tamagochi-esque dog simulator, being the DS' greatest asset, having a unisex appeal to Japanese gamers (40 percent going to female gamers) and thus flying off the shelves - could Iwata have been right to keep it simple?
The Revolution itself will allow gamers to play all GameCube games with all peripherals - those DK Bongos and Wavebirds will be fully operational - and we wouldn't be surprised if some sort of SNES controller á la the japan-only Hori (SNES-shaped one) is released to coincide with the Revolution.
On the subject of oldschool games, the internal memory of the Revolution at 512mbs will allow gamers to save their back catalogue onto the system, and if that space isn't enough, take the games onto SD Cards and save them onto their PC - could this be the end for the Nintendo emulation scene?
We're still waiting for the physical details of the Revolution's controller (it's currently undergoing testing and experimentation as we reported yesterday, and any actual games announcements. Iwata's promising it to be a "virtual console," less powerful but more fun (apparently), and will be announcing more as the year trundles along.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has wafted away a little smoke surrounding the next-gen Revolution, killing off rumours surrounding the next-gen console's featured retro download functionality while speaking at a business strategy conference yesterday.
Revealing that the Revolution's system to download back catalogue Nintendo console games is called Virtual Console, Iwata-san confirmed that first-party games from Nintendo's previous consoles released for download onto Revolution will not be made available for free, saying "...we have no plans to distribute [the games] without charge."
However, for users to gain access to the downloads it might not simply be a case of paying up on a per title basis. Iwata-san stated that Nintendo believes "there's a number of ways that we can use the system, such as to offer a bonus download with the purchase of a new game, or allow some games to be downloaded during a limited time during a campaign period."
Although much of the focus on Virtual Console in past weeks has been directed toward first-party titles to be made available, Iwata-san said that Nintendo hopes to create a format that can additionally be used by third-parties "to make a profit by using the resources from our past."
He also let slip that we'll be able to download demos to our DS at home, although didn't elaborate on this feature. Nor was any mention made of DS-to-Revolution connectivity, which surely must be on the cards, but Iwata-san did touch on Revolution's internal 512Mb flash memory briefly - it will be used for downloading games through Virtual Console, for saving game data and for expansion of the Revolution's capabilities, whatever that means.
Satoru Iwata spent time talking about Nintendo's online service, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, during the business conference too, saying that it hopes that 90-plus percent of punters will use the service to play online games.
In Japan at least, Nintendo is to establish 1,000 wireless hotspots in key areas and shops selling Nintendo products, and users won't be charged to play games published by Nintendo online. It could be a different story with third-party published titles though, third-parties potentially charging for online play.
It was also revealed that Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection users will be able to shut themselves away from the general pubic and choose to play online in 'closed', private sessions just with friends if desired.
And if you're concerned over a lack of wireless internet connection in your home, the good news is that, according to Famitsu, Nintendo plans to release a USB network adaptor that you can plug into your PC that'll act as a point of connection for Revolution and DS.
To date, Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing DS are Nintendo titles confirmed to feature Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection functionality, although it won't be too long before the two are accompanied by similarly geared-up friends. Iwata-san said during the conference that 25 third-party publishers are currently working on games that'll support Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Hello,
First of all, just registered, liking the site  .
I have a question which I hope someone here can help me with.
I can't find any decent information about it.
Using Wifime and my Nintendo Ds without a flashcart I can easily
send those ripped demo's from e3 and the others and play them
perfectly fine.
Whenever I use Wifime and a homebrew game such as GorillaDS or
any other homebrew game it sends the game, boots up and when I see
the Nintendo Logo on the TOP screen it just fades out a bit and freezes.
I was thinking this was because of the firmware that i haven't patched but when I try to launch that firmware application using Wifime it does the exact same thing ( freezing at logo ).
A friend of mine is having the exact same problem, that's why I decided to post about this problem in the hope someone can explain what I'm doing wrong or what I should do.
Kinds regards

According to a recent article in Famitsu magazine downloading classic Nintendo games onto your Revolution will not be free. Boss man, Satoru Itawa, explicitly stated the fact, but added that some games might be available for free download as a bonus for purchasing a Revolution title or through special promotions. Packaging retro titles with current games is nothing new, but perhaps Nintendo will put a revolutionary spin on the concept—say, buy Mario Revolution (not a real title) and download any three Mario-related games from the past.
No word yet on the cost of downloads, or whether or not pricing will vary based on generation. We’ll keep you posted.

The latest issue of Famitsu reports that Donkey Kong will be among the titles scheduled for release on the upcoming Nintendo Revolution. This is the first news of the cybersimian, spawned in 1981 by Nintendo creative whiz Shigeru Miyamoto, heading for next-gen consoles.
Other games announced at E3 and confirmed by the magazine include new games in the Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Smash Brothers, and Metroid franchises. Square Enix is also developing a version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the console.
That means three of Nintendo's most popular franchises have been confirmed for release on the Revolution. Super Mario is currently the company's top-selling franchise, with 181.17 million units shipped worldwide to date. Donkey Kong is the company's third best-selling series with 46.51 million units shipped worldwide, and the Legend of Zelda series is its fourth best-selling franchise, with 46.33 million units shipped worldwide thus far.
However, one of Nintendo's second best-selling series, Pokemon, is curiously missing. With a total of 100 million games shipped worldwide as of last year, it's difficult to imagine the Revolution will proceed without a game based on the pocket monsters.

The latest issue of Famitsu features an article covering Nintendo's next-generation Revolution console. While the magazine didn't present any new information on the machine since May's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), it did note that the Revolution could possibly play more than 200 Nintendo games from days past. During its E3 press conference, one of Nintendo's strong points was the announcement that not only would the Revolution be online-ready, but it would be able to download and play titles from the company's vast library.
To date, the company has released 221 games for its consoles in Japan: 74 titles on the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System), 54 titles on the Super Famicom (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), 45 titles on the Nintendo 64, and 43 titles on the GameCube. Neither Famitsu nor Nintendo has officially confirmed whether all 221 past titles from Nintendo will actually be downloadable for play on the Revolution. The figures presented by the magazine are simply head counts of past titles released on Nintendo's consoles, which serve as a rough estimate to the volume of games that consumers could possibly download and play on the Revolution.
However, it's also possible that the Revolution will actually end up playing more than 221 games. In a previous interview with Reuters, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata disclosed that he is in talks with third-party game publishers about including their old Nintendo console games in the Revolution's downloadable game library. Pricing for Revolution downloads hasn't been decided, though two possibilities are to charge users per game, or to sell prepaid cards in stores.
But will all of Nintendo's published games actually make it to the Revolution? One issue that could hinder the availability of some of the company's games is copyright problems. It's already happened with Nintendo's recent Game Boy Advance title, Mawaru Made In Wario (WarioWare: Twisted!). While Mawaru Made In Wario included minigames that were based on classic NES titles, the graphics and names for Kung-Fu and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out were altered from their originals, apparently to avoid intellectual property issues. (Kung-Fu was originally released in Japan as Spartan X, which borrowed the name of a 1984 Jackie Chan movie.)
Elsewhere in the article, the Revolution ranked as the top next-generation console of interest for Famitsu readers in the latest issue with 226 votes. The PlayStation 3 ranked second with 183 votes, and the Xbox 360 was third with 117 votes.
With very little spec details disclosed during E3, the Revolution has been the subject of many rumors and speculation, to which Nintendo's public representatives have not commented on. Aside from the already common assumption that the console's controller is where the real revolution will be, some media outlets are hypothesizing that the console itself might be meant to be carried around, thus the reason for it being as small as three DVD cases. Its quaint size could allow users without Internet connections to carry the console to a wireless hotspot and hook up to the Web. Another possible feature of the Revolution is the stand that snaps on to it might actually turn out to be a cradle for recharging, which would explain why Nintendo presented it together with the console at the E3.

News from <a href="http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3644&&lsaid=219793" target="_blank" >Lik Sang</a>
<BLOCKQUOTE>There was many a day last year when a black Nintendo DS was nothing more than a dream. Since then though we've seen black and white, followed by turquoise and candy pink, plus a PokePark limited edition and a Pepsi promotional piece. Today the next flavor was announced however, and launching simultaneously with Naruto: Jump Super Stars on August 8th, Nintendo predicts it'll be red hot.
As with the silver, black and two blue NDS editions, this red colored version retains its stylish black base and buttons. The picture above is a preliminary internal sketch, final design will be revealed when available. Preorders are already taken right now for US$ 169.90 only.

Nintendo president Saturo Iwata has confirmed today that the online service for the Nintendo Revolution will offer a full downloadable and playable demo service.
Speaking to a press conference in Toyko, Iwata-san confirmed that the demos would be stored on an internal 512Mb flash memory, though he declined to mention whether this would be a free service, though we would have to presume it will be so.
Despite months of rumour and speculation about the proposed design of the Revolution's er, revolutionary controller, Nintendo general manager and gaming genius Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the controller should still be considered a work in progress and is not finished yet. Nintendo is still in the experimentation and refinement phase on interface and design.

While we're still in the dark as to the true 'revolution' of Nintendo's next-gen console, the pre-E3 announcement that the Revolution would allow gamers to download any first-party home console game from Nintendo's past went some way to countering fan disappointment.
But the questions remained: which old-school Nintendo games will we be able to download and play on Revolution? And how much will they cost?
Well, the latest issue of Japanese mag Famitsu claims to answer the first question. In its latest issue, Famitsu has an in-depth look at Nintendo's next-gen console flanked by a list of 221 first-party NES, SNES, N64, 64DD (souped-up version of the N64) and Sattleview (obscure early attempt at an on-demand downloadable game system) games.
The full list of games is printed below. We've contacted Nintendo to verify the accuracy of the list and we'll let you know as soon as we hear back.
But whether the list is accurate or not, the important question is: how much will these games cost? We're still awaiting a definitive answer - Shigeru Miyamoto talked of a nominal fee at E3, while Nintendo of America vice president George Harrison suggested that the downloads would be free.
But Nintendo of America president Perrin Kaplin went on the record with website Planet GameCube yesterday saying that plans for the downloadable games had not been finalised yet.
"It is possible that players will enjoy these games without a charge from Nintendo," said Kaplin, "or there may be some pay structure for accessing the actual product. Our goal is to make it as easy and inexpensive as possible, which could be free."
What's this? Nintendo keeping details about its new console under its hat? Whatever next? We'll keep you up to date with the plans for The Revolution's downloadable content, but in the meantime spurt your old-school Nintendo love juice all over this hefty list:

I do some freelance writing for various gaming sites and magazines, and I'm looking for a good way of capturing still images from Nintendo DS games.
Ideally, this method should be inexpensive and shouldn't require a serious hardware modification, but I'm open to suggestions.
Any ideas?

Nintendo has finished collating and formatting all 221 of its first-party NES, SNES and N64 titles, which will be offered to Revolution users via free download when new the hardware launches in 2006.
According to an article in the latest issue of Japanese games magazine Famitsu, Nintendo will definitely offer every first-party title it's ever published for its three pre-Cube consoles for free download from day one.
Famitsu also reconfirmed that Nintendo will allow third-parties to make any number of their games available, though points out that the pricing of such titles is at the discretion of the publisher in question and as such won't necessarily be free.
While it's clear Nintendo's motive for offering its back-catalogue to customers for free is to shift its new console, third-party publishers have no self-serving motive for giving their games to Nintendo for free, so are expected to use their titles to add purchasing incentive to their own Revolution game releases.
Famitsu has also published new results for its ongoing reader survey, where readers vote for which next-gen console they're most interested in.
Revolution is once again on top, slightly extending its lead with 43% of the vote, while PS3 has suffered a big drop on previous results to 35%, and Xbox 360 has climbed to 22%.
Whether or not these figures will translate to actual real-world market share remains to be seen...

Nintendo's DS continues to top the hardware sales rankings in Japan and has now outsold the PlayStation Portable in the year to date figures - while quirky crossover PS2 RPG Namco X Capcom has topped the software ranking.
The success of the DS has defied expectations from most market watchers, who expected the PSP to catch up rapidly with the sales lead Nintendo's console had built up in the fourth quarter of 2004 once both systems were in good supply at retail.
However, a strong line-up of software for the DS has kept it selling better than its more powerful rival for the last few weeks, with games such as Nintendogs putting in chart-topping performances.
Year to date sales of the DS now stand at over 904,000 units, according to top market-watchers Media Create, while the PSP has sold 892,000 units - which, combined with the DS' far more impressive performance at launch in late 2004, puts the Nintendo system way out in front of Sony's platform.
Looking to software, the Namco-published crossover RPG Namco X Capcom is this week's chart-topper, leading a top three entirely made up of new games - with Enterbrain's PS2 title Bewick Saga at number two, and Bandai's anime-licensed DS title SD Gundam G Generation DS at number three.
Four other new titles make it into the ranking this week, helping to propel sales further out of the major slump they experienced earlier this spring. Genki's Racing Battle: C1 Grand Prix, Gust's Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana 2 and Square Enix' Hanjuku Hero 4: 7 Nin no Hanjuku Hero, all on PS2, occupy places five to seven respectively, while US-developed Cube title Metroid Prime 2: Echoes comes in at number nine.
Also still selling well is Nintendo's "not-a-game" DS title DS Training for Adults: Work Your Brain, which is at number four in its second week of sales - further proof, if any were needed, of the platform's potential to reach beyond normal gaming genres and, indeed, the normal game purchasing demographic.
