Sometime ago, I blogged about a little piece of software, CHDK, that would add more function to your Canon pointandshoot. I never got around to the project, because I didn’t have an SD card reader. I cant put the CHDK on the SD card.
Well, maybe, I can kill 2 birds with one stone.
I haven’t been playing my DS much either. I have a modchip device for my DS, which I bought in Korea. It worked for a time, but eventually “backup” games began to freeze during mid-game. It was annoying, because I got to the end of FF3, like the very end, and it would continuously glitch at one spot. It happened with Zelda, too. I’m not certain what is causing the freeze. I dont think it’s the games, and I blame the outdated modchip. So, I’m buying a new different card.
The new one uses SD memory to backup and store games. To put games on the SD card, you can hook it to the PC with a small USB reader, which comes with the modchip card. You see where I’m going here.
Maybe, I can get the DS to run backups again, without freezing, AND add the CHDK to my pointandshoot. Supposedly I can add some media functions to the DS, as well. I can’t wait!

Nice. I got the CycloDS modchip, today. I briefly tested it, and Zelda is no longer freezing where it used to.
However, I failed to notice that the chip uses ‘microSD’. My camera uses ‘miniSD’. So, I still wont be able to get the CHDK running. The modchip came with a free 1GB microSD, so I got lucky there. I might buy a 4GB or 8GB just for storage necessities.
