I had the dstwo+ until a couple of weeks ago. I bit the bullet and got an R4i Gold for $20 and it’s worth it. The interface is faster and the battery doesn’t die if you leave a game on sleep mode during the middle of the day. It’s supposedly one without a time bomb but these things are so shady that I don’t entirely trust that

yeah I think the dstwo is the one I have and it does drain the battery very fast. if the normal card is only $20 I should probably get that one

I once waited for my brother while he walked his dog and I modded his NES with the FDS audio mod while he was gone. I don't even think I told him I did it

im going to presume it gives you the famicom extra sound channel. im going to go further and say it probably it requires some sort of specific resistor being soldered in that uncle in nintendo had to have been carrying on him to even do the mod

the extra sound channel was on the disk system. and idk if theat even works on the cartridge games that were fds like metroid and loz. ALSO the fds music is worse than the cart versions

Castlevania 3 was never an FDS game, the Japanese version had a chip in the cart adding 3 extra sound channels. User loses posting privileges for one month.

I did the neshdmi mod and one of the biggest surprises was how much better the audio sounded after I did it. You completely bypass the internal nes sound stuff and it sounds so crystal clear now. The only downside is the FDS audio mod no longer works. But that's more of a reason to still keep my av Famicom hooked up instead of it being a redundant waste of space imho

My morning jackass wasn't far off tho because you need to mod an nes to hear the music in Castlevania 3(j) properly

And yeah my brother has an Everdrive, that's why I did it

I also kind of agree that this fm audio stuff usually sounds worse but I don't know if that's because of what I grew up on (some big survey was released about a year ago that basically showed Americans preferred the American Zelda title theme and Japanese preferred the FDS title theme).

Sound effects are definitely better on the FDS almost all of the time and the music in FDS metroid is better in every single way though. I always thought master system fm audio sounded so much worse than the US versions though. Like really lovely MIDIs.

Yes, I believe the only difference is if you are on the very newest firmware (5.5.3 or 5.5.2) you might have to use some browser exploit or something to "switch over" to the hacked Wii U (and this only matters if you want to hack the Wii U portion; if you wanna hack the Wii portion it doesn't matter). I know with 5.5.2 and lower you buy a DS game which you load the hack onto which makes your console auto-boot into a hacked mode. This is called "Coldboot Haxchi". Just buy Brain Age as it's the cheapest compatible DS title

edit: I just checked and it turns out this trick works again on Firmwares above 5.5.1 so yes, you can hack the Wii U portion of the Wii U no matter what firmware you're on
