How good is the Max Media Dock (Nintendo DS)? Also, how big is the Flash card you get with it?

I really want one to watch movies on and stuff but i'd like to know how good it really is and what would be the ideal compact flash card size for someone who wants to watch movies on it?


How does it work? I hear there's some software called something moon... is it any good? thnx

Well i can give you the quick run down, as i own the MMD. I just got it three weeks ago for Christmas, (an attempt by my girlfriend to try and delve into my gaming habits) if you want to play back ups (ROMS), watch movies and listen to music, while playing Homebrew games or surfing the web, for cheap this is a good card.





Don't get me wrong, ITS huge, i mean it sticks out a lot compaired to other flash carts (the name used for things like the MMD that let you watch/play movies).





I have used it and its not bad.





My girlfriend got it for 50$ with no CF card, and got me two 1 gig cards for 20$ each from Staples, Best buy also has them on sale, as well as newegg.com





Moonshell is a shareware movie/mp3 player that you put on the flash cart then load your media files with the program. basically a windows media player for the Nintendo DS. You have to convert the movie files to .dpg before playing them, do a quick google search on that and you will have the answer in no time.





Its also awesome if you want to get the ds cartridge convertor where you can load your DS games on there, (legally) and not carry around the game cartirdges with a program called Maximum Overload (free + legal) you can also use it to download full versions of games that you don't own, which is illegal, i dont really know how to do that, (nor do i plan on it, since i support the game developers and the persons who make the games who dont get paid $100,000 + per year.)





It will also give you the chance to use free and legal programs that let you use your DS as an AIM chat client, and a Voice over IP like skype and also browse the internet, among 1000s of other things





I hope this helped.





P.S. its a dragg and dropp system, so no annoying drivers (thus Mac Compatible)





Thanks for reading.
