You can also check out the images below for a peek at the new cart. One of the images features the MK5 USB Linker, which can be used with any DS or DS Lite. The NeoFlash Team also says that the MK5 USB Linker is "just for link NDS to your PC only,when MK5 running not need it to work together." A bit hard to understand, but we're guessing that it means you don't need the linker to run MK5, so nothing sticks out of your DS when you use the MK5 GIGA cart.
