DS-X - Nintenod DS Xtreme Flash Card

TeamXodus and DS-X have annouced their first NDS flashcart that will be coming on the market shortly. This comes along side several other NDS flash carts that are the same size as the NDS game cartridge!This new wave of devices comes with drawbacks such as requiring a flashed NDS or a small memory capacity. However, the DS-Xtreme Flashcart will supposedly feature built-in passme support. We originally started to see Passkey/Passme devices form into this new slim, small shape of the NDS cartridge, but it has become a much more popular with development teams using it as a full flashcart. Such products as the NinjaPass, NinjaDS, Ultra Flash Cart, and DSLink have all been housed in a DS cart-sized shell.

TeamXodus's new product, the DS-Xtreme Flashcart, will function as a plug-and-play device with no computer software. You would connect using a USB-B cable to connect your PC's USB-slot directly to the DS cartridge that has a USB-B port at the top of the cartridge. It has been unclear as to how one would go about patching files to play on their DS-Xtreme, but homebrew NDS files do not need to be patched with most devices. 

It gives us great pleasure to welcome to market a brand new development group focusing on a unique range of products for the Nintendo DS.  Recent months have seen a close co-operative relationship between Team Xodus and DS-X.  As you would expect from such a close and intense joint development, the first product, DS-XTREME is completely unique and way ahead of anything at all that is currently out on the market or even being promised for release. Check out their new web site www.ds-x.com for details and product features, guaranteed to cause extreme shock waves in the industry.  We would like to officially congratulate DS-X  on their launch and wish them well for the future.
