Hardware What is the rarest DS Flashcart?

[SylverReZ]

These are the flashcarts I own. Of those the rarest ones I got are the DS Linker, DS-Xtreme and maybe the M3 DS Real.

Very descriptive, and I am very interested in the DS Linker clones. The only ones that I have currently is the Fire Link. I am hoping to find more of these if I ever go to another gaming convention.

Rarest flashcart? It has got to be this specific one (second pic is mine):

It's the typical "R4i-SDHC" card with the wifi and 1.4 sticker on the front BUT it also has "2010.07" written on the bottom.

OK, come to think of it, it's not really that rare, but, c'mon, how often do you see these specific ones?

 

[SylverReZ]

Lets see if these become rare.

Lol my mom said she got it from some shady Spanish store in Los Angeles, this was about 12 years ago. I can't even find any information about it online, ehh maybe my keywords suck

Since it is a DSTTi clone, perhaps try RetroGameFan's Multi-Cart Update. The correct folder in the archive is "DSTTi-Clone YSMenu".

Man it took me way too long to find a picture of this, but this was one of the very first flash carts I had back then.

It had internal storage iirc and the way you put games onto it was with the included GBA module that had a mini USB connector. You needed both in the DS at the same to be able to put games onto it

That must've been... like a year or 2 after the original DS came out

@Lordmau5
The Sunny Flash is a DS Fire Card clone (https://ayasuke.exblog.jp/7491566/). Its made by the same company www.game-menu.com who created Koo Flash. You do not need to use the GBA slot-2 module to add games because just recently, @Apache Thunder has created a version of GodMode9i that supports a dozen of N-Card clones. You can use your hacked DSi/3DS to explore the contents of the flashcard, and add new games onto it. Its also very useful to recover bricked carts too in case a UDISK update goes wrong.

Another tool has been released too called "nrioTool" to dump the hidden SRL sections from the internal NAND flash for research purposes.

What do you mean? Do you have any flashcards that aren't common?
Here's a list that I've made:

Those aren't that rare, they are pretty common with cloners.

 

[Xdqwerty]

That's not rare, these are extremely common. Here are a few to list that you don't see very often.

They don't seem rare at all. The R4i-SDHC are based off of the same hardware as the DSTTi and are mass produced like the whole supply of metal. Later models sometime iirc around 2012 or later is when they re-designed the hardware.

A shame that the DSTWO+ is used by scalpers to raise the price for them.

They looked and performed amazingly, I've always wanted one of those.
