  • Setting to 2 will set the RAM to the console's maximum amount. Some games will not work with this setting.

Bug found after release

• The Reset Game option will not work in some games, causing the game to freeze instead. If that happens for your game, then the reboot method can be used by holding L+R+START+SELECT for 2 seconds, should the game not support soft-reset.

Trivia
Flipper was originally going to be released on a DS cartridge, but the original publisher went bankrupt, and was released as DSiWare instead. See this page here for more information.
