like what be more specific

If the topic is entitled is "Best Flash Card" then I'm talking about DS Flash cards. I ordered an Acekardi and updated it to use it on my 3ds. However I've read a lot of people having problems with their acekard's contacts (I had no prob with mine's) so I ordered a supercard dstwo just in case.

No.1 Acekard 2i (or The Acekard 2i for 3DS)
No.2 R4i Gold for 3DS
No.3 R4ishdc r4i

Those are the cards used most ,as far as I know, I owned a AK2i , it works fine on my 3DS.

i use an acekard 2i, I had to update it to work with mt 3ds as ive had it for quite awhile now.
but the new ones are pre flashed/patched whatever it is they do to it so it works in the 3DS straight out of the box.
also the game compatability is great, every rom ive placed on the card has worked perfectly straight away

I say the supercard dstwo because of its ability to play GBA games and the ability to not have to wait for an anti piracy patch. HOWEVER in terms of battery life if thats important to you go with the acekard 2i

Im getting a DSTWO but going to wait till the end of May to see what the update brings.

The AK2i has a negligible battery advantage over the DStwo on the 3DS.

QUOTE3DS AK2i-- snailface's battery timer (3ds version)*
1st test: 6hr 20min 2nd test: 6hr 45min

3DS DStwo-- snailface's battery timer (3ds version)*
1st test: 6hr 35min 2nd test: 6hrs 30min

Hmm - so the DS2 re-test turned out to be similar to the original test, but the AK2 somehow 'improved' second time around... Weird

So even if we take the results (like I originally did) with the 'shortest time' being noted then the DSTwo still beats the AK2i (6h30m compared to 6h20m)

IF we however do it 'average battery life' then...
AK2i 'Av Battery Life': 6hrs 37mins
DStwo 'Av Battery Life': 6hrs 32mins

Not a lot in it then... seems as though the DSTwo is pretty much consistant with it's life but the AK2i can vary

it shouldnt even be a question ,i mean if you want to spend 35$ that is
i would definitly go with the supercard dstwo,it has a gba and mame emulator,plus a dedicated snes emulator,and all the emulators have 10 slot save state with photo file selection
i got mine fro real hot stuff ,it was $35 they had it in stock and shipped from new jersey to me in boston and i got it in like 2 days free shipping and they offer insurance for $1 extra which i ended opting for,since it was only $1

i never used a acekard2i but it would be a good choice for a cheapy card,i was considering it till i found out about the dstwo

Acekard 2i no need any additional update to support 3DS,great .
Supercard DSTwo 3DS needs update,but almost can play all the games.
M3i Zero is working great on Nintendo 3DS console,and need update.
depends on which one do you choice?

 

[Adr990]

gautam, I don't think Acekard 2i worked without a update on the 3DS...

Only card that didn't need a update was Cyclo DSi (either because of it's DSi mode, or it's late release in term of the close 3DS release)

 

[shawnanastasio]

It depends where you buy it from. Some sellers pre-update the cards for 3DS.

what about the 1.4.2 update on the DSi that wasnt able to block it?

i think the best choice for DS/DSi games on the 3DS is the CycloDSi

The Supercard DSTwo only need to be updated (kernel flashing) once, to recognize 3DS.
Once it was updated, future updates will be 1 or 2 files replacement on microSD (thanks to integrated CPU).
Example : The update for 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 DSI was only 1 file replacement en microSD, useful if you first updated your DSI.

I would choose the cheap ace3ds card as the besrt ds flashcard for 3ds,i bought this ace3ds card as my son's birthday gift,he loves it so much,as it is the cheapest and simplest card .From what I've seen, it seems to be the best option right now.

I would have to agree with caus909, the Supercard DS Two is a great card.
