DStwo saps batteries!

But it's a great card. Plays HGSS and BW without any hassle and patches.

Isn't that mostly caused by using the GBA emulator? Well, that's what I've read anyway.

Anyway, I've never owned a Acekard so I can't comment but the DSTwo has always be great with me and never had any problems with it.

Other than a couple of titles refuse to soft reset for me.

The processor is powered nevertheless and thus uses up a bit more power. Programs that rely more on the CPU (GBA/SNES Emu for example) drain the battery faster. Still the playtime on the cart isn't that bad, but still shorter than the AK2i..

I haven't bought a card since my Evo a few years back. But now that I have a 3DS, I'm shopping for something that'll work in it, and of course, the toss up is between these two cards. Question I have is, does the processor in the DS2 run when its in the slot, or only when in DS mode. Just wondering if it basically sleeps when I'm in the 3DS system menu or playing a DSiWare game from my system menu.

No matter what, when the DSTwo is in the slot, power is drained from the 3DS. Even if you're playing a 3DS game, a DSiWare game, or when in sleep mode, power is lost to the DSTwo.

It runs whenever the 3DS is on, due to its extra processor.

I have the solution. Get both cards. The acekard2i is only $11 now.

Use it for most games and then the dstwo for those other games that only it can play.

Both of the two cards are great,eapecailly dstwo,as it can play gba games,while the price is much higher,so i would rather try cheap ace3ds card,because ace3ds card is the cheapest card in the world,and this card has a wide compatibility,it can run on 3ds/dsi/dsl console...so you can try this card.

Acekard 2i is a nice cheap budget card now, it is a great easy card for regular users. DStwo is a featured flashcard, if you care about the extra strong features, then choose DSTwo.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
