Hacking Best FlashCart for DSi XL?

[TVippy]

Hello, everybody!

What's the best flashcart for this system (hardware is identical to DSi?) at the moment? In terms of price/compatability ratio and ease of use, mainly.
P.S. And what is the cheapest place to buy it? Thank you.

All modern flash carts are easy to use, provided you actually buy a supported cart and not a clone, and all the supported ones run DS games just fine.

As for shops...

well id personally go for a R4ids.cn Gold
as there older cards are still even supported on the latest DSi 1.4.5 update

price, dont be tight, this is peoples problem. they want the cheapest and end up getting scammed
use one of the shops listed above, as they at least be genuine cards

All flashcart sellers refuse PayPal as a payment now? Will there be a way to get money back then, in case something goes wrong? Also, seems like I picked the worst time to get the card - all sellers aren't gonna ship until 15th Feb and even then they'll have thousands of orders to process.
Is EachGame not a trusted one? Has Gold for 4 bucks: http://www.eachgame.me/goods-9605.html

P.S. Also, some Gold PRO is coming (dual-core, LOL). I'm so confused, maybe I should get that one?
Looks like I found one? http://www.dwtechz.com/r4i-gold-pro-happy-box-for-n3dsndsidsi-xl-p-16884.html These both stores are from shoptemp, so I assumed they can be trusted..?

its chineses new years
Paypal is not allowed on any because they all had there accounts locked and lost alot

NO NO NO!!
you do not go to other websites
that flashcar dis completely wrong too
GOLD RPO DUAL CRAP!
just because they add a few letters it is not by the same creators so nothing will be compatible from the ones

shoptemp is worthless in my eyes
alot of fake reviews are on there

use the sites listed

this is the one you want

people dont seem to listen these days
exactly what me and rydian just said
people buy FAKE CLONES with different names thinnking there better

its like someone in china making a fake nokia 9910 and calling in a IPHONE5SUPERDOOPERBEST

Sorry. Thank you for your help, it's deeply appreciated. Chinese are crazy, they're making clones of clones of clones.
From the comments there: "puzzle labirint", "deep labyrinth Icon", "Metroid icon" (which was faulty???), can you please explain this:

Can we flash these cards ourselves in the future? My 3DS is 4.1.0.
The people saying the had metroid icon was it too late for them to flash because their 3DS was already 4.5.0?

• −

you cannot flash alone metroid card to 4.5 due producer didn't release an update for metroid bootloader
however now our flashcard already last version
see you

zhuzhuchina have direct contact with the manufacturers
if you look at there page you will see anyone that got a metroid card they will exchange as they contacted them and allowed people to get the new one
and they always send out the latest card, and they where even replacing faulty acekards 2i's that where having problems
thats why i always use them and recommend them

 

[Pong20302000]

many flashcardt websites closing for chinese new year.... you'd better buy one from this US based seller http://www.thegamerdepot.com/buy-wood-r4i-gold-3ds-card-for-3ds-xl3dsdsids-p-150.html its one of the few places still shipping from within the US, so delivery is normally within 3 days.

never heard of it and wouldnt trust it
members with low posts are normally fake sites promoting themselves

So, Metroid one was a faulty batch? Will I receive a working one, ordering now? Do they offer untrackable shipping? Thanks.

metroid wasnt faulty there was a bug
the team have recalled all there stock from there resellers now
shops that arnt there offical re-sellers will most likely have varying stock
zhuzhu is an official one tho and only send out the latest stock from the team
even had a few carts from there and the game headers used are not even announced on there site for a few months due to them being new new stock

Can I add a quick question , I have a Dsi XL and want a card that will work for this device and also will get a 3ds xl one day so which card now is best for now and the future ? I always say better spend once than pay twice ie get best card for both now rather then get one for now and another one for later.

The website on the sticker of r4i gold 3ds metioned here should be www.r4ids.cn

 

[LurkerA]

Go for a R4i Gold 3DS card (www.r4ids.cn).

Any UK shops which are known to be genuine? There's a lot of incredibly dodgy looking ones.
