| said by DataRiker  :do you actually need to buy anything to mod your DS? You don't need to mod the actual DS. You only need the R4DS to run the games on.
Emulator and ROMS go on a microSD card.
MicroSD card goes into R4DS.
R4DS goes into the Nintendo DS game slot.
Boot the DS.
Done.

A while back, I bought an AceKard 2 from dealxtreme.com and also a kingston 2 x 2GB micro sd cards with a regular sized SD card adapter from newegg.com.
Downloaded the firmware from acekard2.com
Finally, started to download homebrew applications. (*.NDS files).
I do not know any physical modifications to the unit itself.
I feel as though it is possible that I would be able to do more with a replacement card (that requires Micro SD) and some applications then to take the handheld DS apart. |

It all depends on what you need or want to use. I was recommended the AceKard 2 by a friend, so I followed-through, purchased a couple items, and in about 2-4 weeks, I was all set. |
