R4 is awesome, got mine and an EZ Flash V Slot 2 and it's perfect.

what exactly is the EZ Flash V Slot 2? For GBA games? (because that's what the slot-2 is IIRC)

It's provides extra ram so that the DS can play GBA games via the slot 1 cart.

I have a fat DS so I needed a full size slot 2 cart, there are many more for the Lite.

Also the M3 is just an R4 but is updated slower, no other difference.

i thought the M3 could read SDHC cards? It's hard to find non-HC micro SD cards over 2gb.

Hmm, if the M3 REAL is different to the M3 then yes it should read SDHC. I think standard M3 reads only Micro SD.

First thing's first: if I get a DS, I will most likely be getting a cart because so many people say it's awesome.
So with a cart, what features should I expect from one? What is a good cart that can do most of these features? I know I want one with a mini or micro SD slot. How big of a memory card should I get?

What about homebrews? There are many for the PSP and everybody loves them, but what options are there for the DS? What functions are possible and which ones should I be looking for in a homebrew? Web browsing seems like a very important one, and media browsing (audio/video) would also be important some of the time, although I use my cell phone for audio too.

What about programming for the DS? It would be awesome to be able to create my own apps (like a simple GUI-based calculator, basic games, et cetera). I know some Pascal and a cut down version of Basic for the Texas Instrument graphing calculators. (TI-84+)

What are the good games out for the DS? I've never gotten into Final Fantasy simply because I was born at the wrong time, but FF3 and FF4 (just announced) would be good to get, right? Also lots of Mario games and a Zelda game (also one I've never gotten into).
I personally use the R4 and the official DS Web Browser ram expansion.

Some good apps that I found useful and fun are ScummVM DS, SylphAMP, DS HoBro, DPGTools, and the best out of all is DSOrganize.

I've tried to fool around with DS Linux, but it was like a foreign language, to me.

If you like RPGs then you will definitely want to check out Luminous Arc; Contra 4 is awesome; and the Pheonix Wright series is very entertaining, as well.

yeah, linux looked fun and interesting, and I saw an 8-bit GUI that was originally for the Commodore 64 (which I have in my basement )

If you have a slot 2 carts gba_exploader.nds and lameboy.nds are worth a look, although lameboy.nds doesn't require a slot 2 cart.

Thanks for the info too dskina!
