So what will this cart be able to play?

.NDS - YES
.3DS - YES
EMULATORS (NES, SNES GBA) - YES (Retroarchs?)
.CIA - ?

We don't know now but if this flashcard is 25$ + it's useless

.CIA - ?

Probably not by itself, because looks like a Sky3DS-R4i combo.
The only way to install .CIA wold probably be using this Stargate for NTRBoot and installing Luma... Which is the same thing you can do with a R4i that costs less than 1/5 of this.
As for other format, .3DS is useless with a CFW, you can restore R4i for .NDS and you can inject into Virtual Console old games.

why buy a flashcard when you have rpghax ntrboothax, and other methods?

 

[jt_1258]

It'd be the same as a new DS flashcart coming out in 2010. Not a strange concept.

what does it provide that others don't is the question, what does it have that makes it great compared to others that have been around and are known to work well?

i mean there are people that would probably see the ability to easily move all their games and savestates between multiple consoles in the form of a cart with ds game support as something worth some money.

I would appreciate it if you weren't so arrogant. Until such a time when nds-bootstrap's compatibility rivals that of flashcarts to the point where flashcarts are effectively obsolete, then you can say that we do not rely primarily on flashcarts for running DS games and homebrew.

I don't think he intended to be arrogant.
Unrelated to compatibility, nds-bootstrap does have an advantage over flashcards, and that's the IR feature.
For example, say you want to use your Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver ROM with a PokeWalker. You can use a DS cart with IR built-in. The cart doesn't have to be the game you're playing, as any cart with IR will work.

You're missing the point. Can it run every game a flashcart can run as well and as conveniently as a flashcart can run it? If not, my point stands.

For every game, currently no, but in the future, yes.
Conveniently, yes. Please explain that part, just in case I misread.

It's confirmed to be $80.

 

[zaqqaz00]

$80 is pretty steep

Its 2017, we have freeShop.

Except that it isn't hours. The most time it took me to install a game from freeshop was pokemon moon, and that was 30 minutes. It's not like I have the fastest wifi, either.

but if he doesn't exadarate his point nobody will listen

Can .3ds roms be implemented in cfw? I don't see the point of buying a card in 2017 for this, as this is all it has over cfw and I don't give a shit about Gw cheats, as I play games the real way.

For CIA installs, I just queue them with FBI and make a coffee.

They can, but they are an objectively inferior format. You have to patch each rom to be able to play online with them.

Yea, I remember a while back helping someone with something related to Pokemon sun and moon back when it was first leaked and they were testing out some new cfw that allowed running games as .3ds files. I wonder whatever happened to that...

They should release it so that flashcarts become even more useless.
