AnimalMap on the DSi?

[tomnook08]

Would it be possible to use AnimalMap on the DSi (when its hacked), or is it too early too tell?

I used Animal Map with ARDS before my regular ds died AND it won't work with the DSi...

Animal Map (the Windows program) works best with the "AR MAX / DUO" hardware

AFAIK: it should work perfectly with the DSi. When connected to the PC, it uses the console only for power using the bottom/GBA slot (even a GBA console will work). When running the game, it is a legit unhacked DS cartridge running in the top slot.
BTW: still available on eBay.

The "AR DS" hardware works poorly with Animal Map IMHO.
As you point out, it doesn't work with the DSi hardware, yet. I suspect it will in the future.

If looking for the best combination for AC:WW, I still recommend the "AR MAX/DUO" hardware
(or a homebrew solution that can do full 'gamesave's not just 'cheat codes')

Thanks DSPet! =)
If I understand correctly the "AR MAX / DUO" will work with the DSi?

If so I will order it off ebay. =D

From what I understand, the Duo uses a gba slot as well..

Yes, the Duo uses a gba slot... and I do believe the DSi has no gba slot.

DsPet's point was that the Duo only requires the GBA slot for the console's power. Not specifically the GBA slot from the DS. I think he mentioned that you could actually use an old GBA system and it would still work.

Thanks to everyone who replied! I think I understand now. =)

Other advice:
Try plugging the AR MAX/DUO in your old (broken) DS console. If the power is still running it may work.
You can probably find a cheap GBA console at your local used game store (or eBay). These days a used 1st generation DS is just as cheap.

(BTW: there was a stand along GameShark product, but you can't find it anywhere)
