Hello, just purchased a DS as a christmas gift for my son. What do I need to do to be able to play backup roms?

Is there a FAQ or a how to on the DS to get me started, I am finding myself more confused the further I try to get information regarding this.

Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

On a DS you just need a flash card, its like copying files to your mp3 player, simple.
I use one called a cyclo ds evolution.
No FAQ here as this is predominately a Wii forum and doesn't get too much DS coverage.
CYCLODS ... A world far beyond the realm of just gameplay ...

So are these flash cards available at local electronics stores or do you need to purchase online from a "specialty" site?

try R4 DS (R4DS), M3 DS and Supercard DS One for Nintendo DS | Console Up
You won't find them on the high street generally.

Soon I shall hopefully be a stockist myself. Just gotta put a few more things in place. Watch this space ppl

Answers to almost all questions can be found here:
GBAtemp.net -> Nintendo DS Discussions

If you are wondering what Cart to get, try posting here:
Post your questions about which flashcart to buy - GBAtemp.net

I am doing the same thing, although for multiple kids...
I have decided to go with the following, because price IS a factor:
Edge Cart: DealExtreme: $17.36 Edge DS Card for NDS and NDS Lite (Supports SDHC)
4GB MicroSD: Newegg.com - Transcend 4GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model TS4GUSDHC6 - Flash Memory
If you don't want that size, i would look for a new deal at a site like this: Search micro Lowest Prices, Best Deals at Dealigg.com

Good Luck!
