In my experience when they say up to three weeks, it really can be up to three weeks.

No arguments there. That is a fact.

Okay, updated the front page. Down to four carts... XD

Down to four carts...

It's actually quite sad that it has come to this. Somehow there are more different carts available than ever before, but still the amount of flashcarts suggested for easy use seems to become smaller and smaller. Oh well I guess this is one way of finding out that the DS is passing and giving way to the 3DS. If only someone made 3DS homebrew loading possible :I

 

[Rydian]

Well the 3DS has been out for a while now, it's not like the DS flashcart business is as profitable as it once was, so I'm not really surprised.

What is the difference between playing games in DS Mode and DSi Mode?

One has access to cameras, more Ram, and the SD Card.

Now for my question. I'm attempting to get a Red Dragon NDSL shell, but I also want to get an EZ Flash 3in1 for a friend, all with a limit of $25. Where can I buy both and meet my limit but not exceed it?

Same as playing DSi-enhanced games in a DSi versus a DS. Some games can make use of the extra RAM and camera. A few games require it, but mainly those that use the camera.

Excuse me Rydain (or anyone active on here). Would you mind updating the front-page with GBA compatibility info? I'm only aware of the EZ flash 3 in 1 and the gba expansion card that comes bundled with the M3 DS real.

Thanks.

 

[Rydian]

That's a more complex guide, so it's covered here.

EDIT: Added the link to the first post.

 

[fizzmaister]

Thanks

Edit: Read through that. Seems like I'm not switching away from my M3. Oh well.

I was browsing around the other flash carts threads and I saw Acekard 2i's Akaio was not really happy with hacked ROMs(for example,Pokemon Storm Silver, Blaze Black, etc). Is this true with all of Aceakrd, or was this just one of the older versions of the software? I'm trying to figure out which would be best for playing hacked ROMs, or even doing Pokemon Editing/Hacking for Gen4/5 on the DSLite.

 

[Rydian]

I wouldn't know much about that, but the few hacked ROMs I did try (like the super mario bros hack) worked fine.

Also I updated the first post with links to the official sites so people can see the cart they need to pick out.

 

[Costello]

how about you add a column in the chart that states whether or not it "plays 3DS roms"
you have the same for DSi games...

The iEvo does, but it got dropped off the list and I forgot about taking the column out of the chart. Yeah I'll add that.

 

[Costello]

it's useful to have both columns
otherwise you'd have people asking 'so which of these carts plays DSi and/or 3DS roms'

 

[Rydian]

Alright, went and replaced the images with the new versions and updated the links to the source documents.

Went ahead and removed the Ak2.1 column too, as paying $1 less for no DSi/3DS compatibility is not worth noting.

ak2.1 does have a superior build to the 2i. for those who have the dslite/phat it is a much better alternative. i'm not sure if that is worth having it in the list, but at least now my opinion is here in this thread. =)
