Wii Remote Charge 'N Play
Manufacturer: Unknown
Site: Buy from Goldenshop
Price: $17.00
Overview : The Charge 'N Play converts your Wii Remote into a rechargeable gaming remote. The Charge 'N Play features a USB charging dock that keeps your Wii Remote charging when not in use. With Charge 'N Play, drained batteries are a thing of the past.
Features :- High quality 3rd party product.
- Comes with a rechargeable battery for the Wii remote control - no need to take out the battery when charging.
- USB socket on the charger stand - another charger stand can be connected at the same time.
- No need to add extra power supply - get the power from the USB port of the Wii console.
Quality/Usability : With the flood of rechargeable battery packs hitting the market, there has been different styles and different kinds.
The Charge 'N Play is a little different than all the other rechargeable batteries. The Charge 'N Play comes with a rechargeable battery and a dock. The dock has a USB cord that can plug into a USB port whether it be your computer or your Nintendo Wii.
The dock has two hooks on the left side that can attach to another dock (of course they need to be the same type). The right side has two openings for those hooks to be clipped onto another dock. On the front of the dock is a small LED. The LED is red when the battery is charging and blue when it is done.
What is unique about the Charge 'N Play is that you can either charge the battery with the Wii-mote or you can just charge the battery pack. Other rechargeable battery packs on the market require the battery to be on the remote control in order for it to charge.
The dock has two levels. The "upper level" is for the battery pack and Wii-mote. If you have a controller glove also known as rubber skin on the Wii-mote, you will need to remove it or lift the bottom high enough that it does not block the dock. The "lower level" is big enough just to fit the battery pack. The battery pack stays in place by pushing its clip itself against the upper level. Sometimes it does take a few tries to get it correctly in place. Once in place, it is snug and wont come out.
Charge time is approximately 2 hours. Once fully charged, the battery lasts for about 3-4 hours on continuous play and approximately 5-6 days with on and off play (approximately 30-60 mins a day).
Conclusion : Overall, the Wii Remote Charge 'N Play as I know of posting this review, is the only charger that allows you to only charge the battery without the need of the Wii-mote. Battery life is fairly decent. It would have been nice if the LED light turned off once the battery was fully charged. The idea of allowing another dock to be attached is good.

Team Xtender have announced another product, that they are about to release a new replacement case for the Wii which can switch between a whole lot of colours via the press of a button. The case rotates automatically between SEVEN different colors (red, purple, green, white, blue, teal, orange), but if it all gets a bit too flashy for you, there is always the opportunity to turn the whole thing off.

G6 Flash G6DS Real SLOT-1 (1GB)
Manufacturer: G6
Site: Buy from Divineo China / Buy from Console Source / Buy from DealExtreme (2GB)
Price: $64.95
Overview : Designed to backup and play anything you can throw at it the G6DS Real is the latest Nintendo DS backup unit offered by the G6 Flash Team.
The G6DS Real does not use SD memory cards, instead it comes with a built in 8Gb (1GB) of NAND memory and offers a simple drag and drop interface via its USB linker with high speed USB 2.0 write speeds. In addition the G6DS Real introduces a new operating system called "TouchPod" which breaks from the many lackluster GUIs and Moonshell systems seen in comparable products.
Features :- The real NDS Clean dump rom compatibilty & support.
- Boot clean dump images without the need for any patching.

- Extreme simple to use: just drag and drop files to the G6 Cart.
- Exclusive super "Cheat Code" function.

- No drivers & any software required.
- Work as U disk with USB 2.0 ultra fast burning speed .Standard FAT system support.
- Built-in 8G bit (1GB) or 16G bit (2GB) NAND Flash memory. No need to use the SD card & worry about the ejection problem of SD card slot.
- Perfect preformance. (Runs games without any lag or slow down. You don't need to worry about the compatibility & speed of SD card.)
- Auto detect the save type and automatically generate save file. No need to operate manual by yourself.

- Built in PDA (Worldwide Time, Memo, Note, Phone book, Calculator.)
- Supports DS sleep mode.
- Brightness adjustment within GUI.
Quality/Usability : The G6 Flash Team has finally released their G6DS Real after announcing the product over 4 months ago. The G6DS Real comes in a box with a plastic holder. Item was shipped in a regular envelope so the packaging got squashed during transit. Hopefully, resellers will package the item in a box to prevent damage during transit. In the box are the following items you would get:
- G6DS Real 8Gb Flash Cartridge
- G6DS Real card reader / writer
- USB cable
- Mini-CD Software disc
- Blue rubber protective case
As listed above, it is suppose to include a mini-cd with G6 Real software but I never received one. It was probably left out during packaging. Its OK though because you dont really need it as you can download it from their site (link further down in review).
The G6DS Real comes in only one color, grey. Like all other Slot-1 flash carts, it is exactly the same size of that of the Nintendo DS cartridges. Only difference is that the bottom back of the cart where it shows the chipset, it doesnt have plastic pin separators like the Nintendo DS cartridges. The plastic pin separators help guide the connections.
Considering the G6DS Real uses NAND memory and does not use any external memory cards, to transfer data to and from the PC, a USB linker is included. One end is the male USB connector and the other end is the female DS slot. On the top of the linker is a blue LED. This will let you know when data is being transferred. Do not remove the DS cart when the light is flashing/on. Since the linker is fairly big, the G6 team has included a USB extension cable for those tight spots where the linker wont be able to fit.
To get the G6DS Real running, like all other flash carts, you'll need the necessary files to run the SLOT-1 card. You can download the latest files from G6 Flash or from linfox. Connect the USB linker which is now black, not blue as pictured, to your PC and insert the G6DS Real. Your computer will now recognize it as a REMOVABLE STORAGE. Once the computer has recognized the G6, extract the latest files to the root of the G6DS (example X:\SYSTEM). This is pretty much the same process for the M3 Simply, R4DS, SuperCard DS One and any other flash carts. Copying of files is a simple drag and drop process. To place your NDS games, they will need to be placed in a folder called "NDS".
Once everything is placed onto the G6DS Real and you boot it up, you are given the TouchPod menu and features. The TouchPod is very responsive and accurate when selecting games and menus. The G6DS Real allows you to have up to five (5) skins. The skins are stored in the "SYSTEM" folder and consists of 22 .BMP images. The skins are selectable under the "SETTINGS" menu.
In the TouchPod, you are given a "NDS Game" tab. This menu tab contains the following
- NDS Game – Boot your .NDS games and configure soft-reset and Action Replay cheat options (only files in the “NDS” folder in the root directory).
- My Card – Browse files on G6DS Real and boot .NDS files without extra features.
- pdaDS – Starts the PDA application, which is the same software from the previous M3/G6 slot 2 devices.
- MediaPlay - Extend - A modified version of Moonshell for multimedia playback such as MP3s, videos, read TXT and see images.
- Boot – Lets you to boot slot 2 devices in either DS or GBA modes. Can be used to boot older slot 2 flashcarts or play GBA games.
- Settings – (2 options available) Allows you to change G6DS Real loader settings such as boot mode (bypass the DS menu) and skin selection (choose from 5 skins).
Every game we loaded onto the G6DS Real and tested it, worked without a problem or any slowdowns. As for homebrew, the G6DS Real has no "official" DLDI driver at the moment. the G6 team has stated that it is being worked on. The G6 team has emailed me and released the G6/M3 DS Real FAT Lib v1.0, which allows homebrew developers to create a DLDI driver for homebrew games and applications. Since there are no DLDI drivers available at the moment, the only homebrew games or applications I was able to run where the ones that did not require FAT access.
Conclusion : Overall, the G6 Flash G6DS Real SLOT-1 (1GB) is a well designed product but has some flaws. With the lack of homebrew support for the moment, this may turn some customers away. Although majority of the games I tested worked great, the claim of "100% Download Play" comes up short. I was unable to get a couple of games to work such as Clubhouse Games, Mario Kart DS and a few others.
Since the G6DS Real does not allow expandable memory such as microSD cards and being limited to only 1GB may not be OK with some customers, while others are fine with it. The G6DS Real also comes in 16Gb (2GB) as well for those who want bigger storage.
If the G6 team can improve on the compatibility of some games and get the DLDI driver for homebrew games and applications, this would definitely be at the top of the list as a MUST get product.

Now for some additional information on the CycloDS Evolution. We are currently working on a feature where CycloDS Micro and Mini can be used as a slot 2 expansion pack for the CycloDS Evolution.

The GBA games WILL NOT require patching; this will be handed by the CycloDS Evolution OS automatically.
The CycloDS Micro and Mini are already available. The CycloDS Evolution and Mini or Micro combination will prove invaluable to users because you’ll be able to play NDS games with all the advanced features provided by CycloDS Evolution, as well as playing GBA games and using the Opera Web Browser.
