Just a random shot in the dark. Wondering if anyone has managed to download DSHBrew Loader in OpenDS from here. https://bbs.oldmantvg.net/thread-28425.htm

No matter what I do, it seems I can never create an account. Only images I've found were from AliExpress sellers, and 1 on Archive.org. Aliexpress Sellers GDrive link archive.org link
I could never create an account either. Done this many many times with no success.

If anybody has the original DSHBrew Loader, you are more than welcome to post it here. :)
 
Love the DS flashcart variety — was very into them back in the day. Tempted to pick up one of those EX4is. Are there still DSONE clones kicking around?

I bought one and it has problems with gba emulation/movie playback. It simply stays on loading screens. The games work great tho (from my first impressions more or less Ace3DS+ compatibility). And DLDI auto patching seems to be broken with the newest menu files. It works with older ones tho

I ordered this alongside some other R4 clones
I tried ordering one from AliExpress last week, they had not shipped it in over five days. I don't know if there was a Chinese holiday going on. There doesn't seem to be one on around that time. Whether they still had stock or not is unclear. Messaging them went nowhere as I was instead greeted by a message bot.

Instead, I just went and bought the DSTWO as it was more superior hands down over an R4iLS clone. Whether they still had stock or not is unclear.

I’m pretty sure Lunar New Year is still going on

Not quite flashcart but flashcart clone adjacent:

An R4 SDHC Gold Pro themed game case. :P

Ordered one myself. But yeah if Chinease New Year is still a thing right now it might be a bit before they ship mine out.

Oh yeah forgot to mention my aliexpress order arrived the other day. Though it seems I accidentally ordered the SNES one instead of the R4 one. Guess I'll try again in March. :P
Shouldn't really matter if it does what it's supposed to do and has what you need. But the R4 one does look nice and is worth getting. :P
 
I just received a DSOne cartridge from AliExpress. The PSRAM tests pass, and the original system is working.
