ds/usb

[blacknumbers]

I was wondering if you guys could tell me how to connect my ds to my computer so that my computer could read what was on my ds.


I was hoping if I could copy the rom in my gba game so that I wouldn't break the law when I played games via an emulator.

can you guys help me?

get a USB cord for DS

[blacknumbers]

A power cord? are you sure my stuff with my ds will show up on my computer?

[Fallen King]

i don't know if it will or not but i have never done this it is just a sugestion

[blacknumbers]

so your suggestion is that you want me to get a usb ds power cord?

[AntiWeapon]

The usb cord for my ds dosent work that way. It only powers the ds. Nothing else.

[blacknumbers]

then how do you connect your ds to your computer, and it showing everything equiped with your ds.

[AntiWeapon]

You.. can't?

kh1212 said you can rip off roms from gba games, if you had it connected to your computer.

I don't know how to connect your ds to you computer, but if you actually own a game, it's not illegal if you download it and only use it yourself.

you need a "illegal" exploit you have to make to rip ROMS from cartridges
connecting a console to your PC will not rip games

so is it legal to download a game I have already from a site?

[carey]

downloading games from a site period is illegal
the only way to legally have the game on your PC is by extracting it from your legally bought copy of the game.

as for the ROMS
its illegal to own the exploit to extract it but its the only way to legally own a copy of the ROM on your PC
(very confusing, i know)

[blacknumbers]

you just said that it was impossible to extract a copy of the game for it to be legal, because you said it was illegal.

so no matter what, everything is illegal.

[Mielé]

You need an empty ds cartridge with a little chip that can plug into a usb slot, so that it can connect to the PC

There is no other way to put games on it unless you buy a ds cartridge of ebay that already has 100 games.

you just said that it was impossible to extract a copy of the game for it to be legal, because you said it was illegal.

so no matter what, everything is illegal.

pretty much yes =P
you can't own the exploit to extract ROMS
but its virtually the only legal way to own a copy of it on your PC

just download it =P
