The Big Plan--Update *1*

If you want sturdy, do NOT get an AK2 or M3Real or iTouch!, The little clips break off and the card comes apart after a very few removals.
I have tried everything except Cyclo and my favorite, REGARDLESS OF COST is the DSTT.
It is well-made, uses standard cheats and saves. It has a choice of the factory OS or YSMENU (or BOTH if you do NOT rename YSMenu.nds to TTMENU.dat instead of replacing it). The only minor annoyance is that TTMENU does not sort the display, but that is easy to deal with.

And TTDS is $19.70 shipped at DealExtreme (cheaper if you buy 3 or MORE)!!! IT'S A NO-BRAINER.

I really haven't heard that happening to the AK2, but I think that has happened to a few M3 Reals. The iTouch is built pretty similar to the M3 Real so I'm not sure about that one.

Thanks everyone for the replies, responses, votes, etc.

But mainly I came here to post a public apology to Urza. I shouldn't have responded angrily to his post. I supposed that as a senior member of this forum Urza has a lot of knowledge about various flash cards, consoles and such, even if he wasn't helpful with his initial responce.

I had time to stop, think it over and chose my responce accordingly--even to decide to ignore him--and instead of doing any of those things, I responded in anger and annoyance and we exchanged mean words over somethings as silly as a video game. That was wrong of me to retort that way, and I apologize. I'm not looking to make enemies or anything of the sort. We're all pirates and PC-nerds to some extent or another and we've got to stick together.

Honestly, I hadn't even noticed him as a user, until the other day, even though I'm sure he's very active all over and we've been in several of the same topics if I'd just take the time to look. So, Urza, I apology for responding rudely to you.

Heres hoping to see you around all over the forums, and thanks for all the input (the genuinely useful input) that you contribute to this site. :cheers:

P.S. I seriously wasn't talking about only you, Urza when I made that comment about "If I'd known about some of the people that lurk on this site..."

SCDSone.
It has like all the features that the cyclo has and nice support. You should get it.

You know that the EDGE is just a clone of the Cyclo right? So it's the closest to a Cyclo in terms of GUI. But I still suggest you spend the extra dollars on a Cyclo, in case you might have a problem with another card.

Hmm...I'm tempted. So tempted to pick up a few DSTT. But I think that, if I can find a good seller for EDGE when the time comes that I will pick them up. I'm getting myself a DSTT asap but these cards aren't for me, they're for my brothers and I think that the Cyclo/EDGE is going to best/easiest for them.

I still haven't seen a reliable/a one that I know that stocks Edge carts(in the US). The Cyclo/DSTT will be easy to use, except for maybe the extra features that the Cyclo has.

Yeah, lack of EDGE suppliers is what worries me most. I guess that I will have to check again when I'm actually ready to order. If not then they'll probably just get DSTT or whatever is out that is good at that time.
