Since Switch Use Cartridges like the DS Lite so i hope the Switch gets it's own Flashcard.
Probably. It's often easier to emulate a cartridge than it is to find a kernel (in this case TrustZone) exploit, and a properly made cartridge emulator would be unpatchable. Even if we do get CFW or at the very least piracy, it'll only be on certain firmware versions at first so there's still incentive for someone to create a Sky3DS-like flashcart for the Switch.
But it might take a kernel exploit before people are able to reverse engineer the cartridge communication enough to make a flashcart.
I would buy one if it were fairly priced and had plenty of decent features.
It probably won't have any features besides playing games. That would take a kernel exploit and at that point we end up with another Gateway that nobody will want once CFW is out.
Aparently gateway/sky3ds is working on somthing.
That's a rumor. Gateway are working on Stargate 3DS (and that's not a rumor, it was confirmed by the contact details and whois info matching Gateway's) and I don't think their team is big enough to be working on 2 flashcarts at the same time. They may be looking into it but it'll still be years before they come up with anything usable. And by looking into it I mean they may be trying to find vulnerabilities but I doubt they have anything yet.

I do know. They're used to play roms. And I get it's not really a flashcart, it's just a useful device to play the switch with other controllers.
So... there isn't a flashcart for the Switch yet... there isn't a "not really a flashcart," it's just NOT a flashcart

I guess lol. Atleast it's something that can be used.
