DSTT – 5 Things You Need to do Before You Buy

To get the most out of your DSTT there are a few things you should do before you buy one:

• Make sure you buy from a website with a good reputation as some sites sell low quality DSTTs.
• Don’t trust customer feedback shown the seller’s website. I know of a leading DSTT retailer that has 100s of glowing reviews on their own website (not a single negative one) but according to customer feedback on an independent sites like PriceGrabber, a massive 60% of customers have been dissatisfied in the last 6 months (and most of the positive reviews had been made before they received their order). Stick with trusted dealers like r4ishopper.com who have an average customer rating of 4.85 out of 5 on PriceGrabber.
• When your DSTT arrives in the post in a couple of days you’ll want to get it working as soon as you can so download the the latest version of the kernel to put onto your SD card today.
• To handle all your music, view and image files, get the latest version of Moonshell.
• Make sure you’ve got some good homebrew games to play like the awesome Still Alive DS
• Get some cool homebrew applications like DSOrganise which will turn your DS into a PDA!

The DSTT Nintendo DS

With the DSTT you will be able to save music and make playlists, browse pictures, watch your favorite movies and read e-books as well as much more. All you have to do is load what you want on the DS TT and put it into your Nintendo DS and you will have access to everything you have loaded. You can also save your games on the card, for easy access when you want to play. It is easier to have one of these cards as then you have everything at hand and you won’t have to carry different items around with you. With the DS TT you can have music, books, games and movies altogether for your convenience.

Some of the features of the TTDS include; original cartridge size, easy to use (just plug in and play), drag and drop from computer to memory card, accepts cleanROM, offers high speed SDHC, accepts all TF card speeds, direct saves to TF card so you won’t lose your data, you can automatically notice and produce types of saves, and enjoy the built in energy saving feature. The TT DS also supports functions like the WiFi game, DS browser; DS rumble pack, Fat or FAT32, Moonshell, Homebrew, soft reset, download play, four scale lightness changer and much more. The features of the TT DS will make you want to go out and get it right away.

This device is perfect for someone who doesn’t like to carry many different items around with them when they go out to a friend for a games or movie night or even just being at home; it is easier to look after one item. With the NDSTT it will be a good idea to keep it in a safe place at all times. Find one safe spot for it and keep putting it there. If you have just one place for it when it is not plugged in you will not lose it. Remember, if you lose this device all your saved data will be gone unless you have it backed up somewhere else.

The one thing many people worry about when they purchase something as technical as this is how to install it. With the DSTT card you don’t have to worry about that as it is all very straight forward, but the instructions will still be there in the box. You should not have a hard time at all when you first get the card and are waiting to use it. It is easy to use. Even the kids will be able to use it themselves when they want to get to a movie or maybe a game they are currently playing. You don’t have to get up and do it for them if they are old enough to understand how to do it themselves.

Purchasing the DSTT card for your Nintendo DS or DSi will possibly be the best decision since deciding to buy the Nintendo itself. It is a great invention that you will love if you are a serious gamer and like to watch your movies and love listening to music.

What is the TTDS?

So the big question on everyone’s lips is “what is DSTT”? The NDS TT is a slot one flashcard that features many options like cheats, SDHC, and soft reset, and it saves straight to the micro SD. It is a great investment, and even though there wasn’t news of anything like it before, it just suddenly appeared. People are normally skeptical about buying products that are new on the market, but not with the TTDS. After a short while on the market it was already high in demand, therefore the supply of the product was low and wasn’t available in all areas.

When you order or simply purchase the Nintendo DS TT it will come in a cardboard box and should have a plastic tray. If the packaging is original it should have reflective silver lettering that you will notice first. The back of the box will list the features of the NDSTT and you will recognize it right away because of its professional appearance. The great aspect about the packaging of the NDS DSTT is the packaging itself as it protects the contents of the box so that it cannot get damaged. You can keep the box so that when the DSTT is not in use it can be stored in its original casing. That way you will know that it’s safe and you will know where you put it.

It is important that you check the contents of the box before you leave the store (if you are purchasing it brand new, that is). Even though the contents of the box may vary according to the deal you are purchasing, the contents should include the Nintendo DSTT with a plastic covering, a ramble pak, DS lite USB charger, easy installation CD, GBA & explorer pack and the SDHC compliant card reader. Make sure you have everything the box says you should have, otherwise going back to the store to get your missing parts might be troublesome. Don’t be ripped off. Know what it is you are paying for.

If you don’t know what the TTDS looks like, it is a white card that is about the same size as a normal DS card. It is durable, a flush fit, and is sturdy. If your TTDS card has a slight “bump” in the front it is just because there is a chip underneath the shell. It is nothing to worry about. It will only stick slightly when it is inserted into the slot and removed again. It is no serious problem and not all of the DSTT cards have this. It was just a few of the first made ones.

The micro SD slot is perfect as it is spring loaded and it can be accessed from the top of the card. You shouldn’t have any problems with your NDSTT, but if you do just be sure to take it back and have it replaced as you can’t go without one! Your gaming will now be better than it has been before. You will want to play more because it is easier when you don’t have to look for cartridges.

Alternatives to the NDSTT

There are lots of alternatives to the NDSTT which all do a similar job, some just have different specifications to the others. Even though many people are after the R4 DS it is said to be low in supply as the demand is too high. There are many reasons why your Nintendo needs something like this. A few of them include that you are able to play homebrewed games for free, play back-up games so that there is no need to carry around cartridges, and it can be used as an MP3 player, PDA word processor, mobile phone, video player and web browser.

The one thing that one has to remember when they are looking to get their hands on something like this is that they have to be careful because there are many fakes sold out there. They will look identical to an original NDSTT and you will be told that they perform the same way, but they will in fact do nothing of the sort. They may be able to perform like the DSTT does but they will not be as reliable. The fact remains that it is not the original; therefore you cannot expect it to have the same features and do what the DSi DSTT does.

With the R4 DS you won’t have to worry about keeping all your cartridges together and keeping them safe, because you will no longer need them. If you have the R4 DS or the DTSS you can have all of your games backed-up onto a certain SD card. The SD card is then read by the R4 or the DTSS. So you can just carry around or look after one item instead of a whole bag of cartridges. It will be like having the Nintendo DSi, with all your games accessible within one SD card. No more time spent looking for your favorite game – maybe it’s under the sofa, maybe the dog ate it – those days are over!

The DTSS is a great idea if your kids like to play Nintendo too. Especially with the little ones as they tend to lose things often, and looking for their games for them all the time can be a pain. Now, if they have a DTSS they will not need to look for their games. They just have to keep it in a safe place and all their favorite games are right there. Or even better, mom or dad can keep it until they want to play it. Having this accessory can also save you quite a bit of cash as it costs less than most games do.

The DTSS or the R4 DS is available in many different places and can even be bought online. Be careful of fakes on the market. They may look the same but they are very different in performance. A fake might be cheaper but it will cost you more in the long run because you will have to purchase another one once the fake doesn’t work for you anymore.

DSTTi for Nintendo DSi

There is a new version of the NDS TT which is compatible with the Nintendo DSi. It’s name is the DSTTi. There is an R4 DSi as well, the same product. For many people this had to have been the greatest news in the world. When the TTDS was launched to the public, owners of the Nintendo DS were only too happy to know that now they were able to save their progress instead of accomplishing so much in the games and then doing the regrettable thing by switching off the device. Just knowing that you are able to save your gaming progress and not having to worry about losing everything makes the DS owners sleep better at night.

A few Nintendo DS owners have admitted that they have experienced a few problems with the TTDSi. The problems, fortunately, were not serious. These owners were experiencing “freezing” menu screens, and many of them, after purchasing the DSTTi, wondered if they would have made a satisfying purchase if they had bought the R4 instead. However, the “freezing” menu screen problem was quickly sorted out after many owners found a site where they were able to download a small file to fix the problem.

Another great thing about the TTDS DSi for the Nintendo DS was the fact that the MicroSDHC memory was one of the latest used and also that it had a cheat function built in to the card. If there are Nintendo DS owners that are stuck in a rut fidgeting, and at the same time wondering what flashcard to get – the NDS TT or the R4 – let’s just say that the DS TT is much, much more advanced. It not only offers high capacity for SDHC memory, but also memory for your media files.

Once you own a DSTT DSi you will not look back. You will feel more relaxed knowing that you are able to listen to your favorite music while moving around with family and friends. Not enough? How about sitting down and having some quiet time while reading an e-book. Better yet, browse through your favorite pictures and watch your favorite movies on the number one console of all time … your favorite Nintendo DS!

Times change and the technology that was new yesterday will be old tomorrow, and although technology becomes more advanced before our eyes, we can be happy to know that we are in a time of the Nintendo DS and welcome all the features and add-ons that are available for this favored console. Tomorrow something more advanced will appear on the shelves. Let it. Let’s enjoy what Nintendo makes available to us and especially the DSTT DSi card. Without it, just imagine what we will not be able to do. Things would be so much different, and the console would become very boring very quickly.

These little modifications are important to keep owners of the DS entertained. Imagine finishing your favorite video game and it is just lying there gathering dust. Now imagine someone creating a mod for that game and an extra stage is available for you to play. Very soon, you will find yourself blowing the dust off that game and playing it for the second time.
