what is DMA Mode?(TTDS)

Whenever I DMA Mode is on, sometimes my DS game will go 'freeze!'
Seriously, what is DMA Mode?

Its something from your flash-card, put it off if a ds-game doesn't work, maybe you have to put the soft-reset off too if your card haves that function.

Then avoid answering if you aren't sure unless your asking a question that may help the person later on.Here we go...

Now let's talk about the DMA Mode. All games by default are loaded using the DMA mode which enhances game performance. There is also another DMA mode that isn't named yet that just came out in AKAIO v1.4. This new mode can fix video and sound glitches in some games and speeds up reading and writing to the SD Card. To enable this mode hold down "X" when launching a game. If you have any problems with games you can disable the DMA mode by holding down "A" while a game is loading.

There you go-I guess it doesn't always help in games.

Direct Memory Access :) Just means it can perform a function without having to go via the CPU to do so, so in essence it is quicker.

In programming, DMA allows you to read and write memory independently from the CPU. The DS has DMA hardware dedicated to perform transfers of memory. During a DMA, the main CPUs are locked from using certain memory hardware, which can cause issues with memory/cache particularly.

lol it's come to my attention that the acronym DMA relates to way too many things hehe
