Do you actually own either a DS or an SD memory card?  They are not as alike as you seem to think they are.

I happen to own both, actually; and although I haven't studied and compared both in detail, I just figured they looked relatively the same size and shape, and they both held data.  =/

DS game, SD card.  Coincidence?  (and YES, i know that DS stands for "dual screen" and SD stands for "sans disc"...)

*goes to compare the two...*

Well, I seem to have currently misplaced the digital camera I put my SD card in, but I have a drive for one one my computer, and apparently, the DS card seems to be too wide to fit into the drive.  I guess this difference would be comparable to the rectangular memory cards that PSPs use.

According to the instruction manual of my Wii, there are different sizes of SD cards. DS games might've started out that way.

If you ever find your SD card you'll notice the DS card is not only wider, but taller and thicker as well, with less pins and almost certainly a different power draw.  DS is not compatible with SD and vice versa.  Larger SD slots can support smaller SD cards (SD > MiniSD > MicroSD) with an adapter but not vice versa.

If you wish to continue this train of thought, you're better off working with the PSP's Duo sticks.  At least THAT has some known PC-compatibility behind it.

Well, there is a DS accessory that lets you use a compact flash card to play mp3s, movies, and nintendo ds roms on your Nintendo DS.

I just wonder if it's OS is compatible with Windows based applications.  If it was, you could effectively load Viper V6 onto via the adapter's USB cable, and play it on your DS.

But, since I'm guessing it uses it's own proprietary OS, then Windows based applications probably wouldn't work on it...Which would mean that you'd have to resort to homebrew applications that were made to specifically run on the DS.  They usually make homebrew emulators of old game systems, and they might have made a Windows emulator.  I wonder...(I'll google it.)

I think I found it, or something like it:

There's a link for WinDS.  I'm assuming it's a Windows emulator for Nintendo DS.  If it works and I get a Max Media Dock and CompactFlash Memory card, maybe I can play old Viper games on the DS(though why I would want to still evades me. O_O)
