kk dude thanks for the info, been a while since the 3ds was released, did it take this long with the DS to get a flashcard working on it?
The DS didn't take that long, but that's because security was relatively weak then.

For a more modern example, look at the PS3. It took like ~5 years for it to get hacked openly.

So I have a question. http://www.cheapr4i.com/r4i-gold-3ds-for-3ds-3ds-xl-v45010-and-dsi-v145-p-184.html , does this play 3ds roms? Does any r4 play 3ds roms? I am thinking about picking up again if you can and it sounds like these do play 3ds roms so wanted to check it here first.

Man, you should read the stickies.
Nothing plays 3DS roms since 3DS isn't hacked(not fully, and not avaiable to public yet).
All you can do is play DS games on your 3DS trough flashcards.
I recommend you R4i Gold, it's very good, officialy supported by Wood, have constant firmware updates, and yet it's cheap.

I have a question regarding flashcarts for the 3ds.

I got a FireEmblem 3ds bundle on the way and was wondering what would be the best flashtcart to purchase to play NDS roms?

I'm going to assume that it has the latest firmware.

Preferably, i'd like to get a WOOD supported cart.

Wood isn't much special, the only reason people freaked out about it was that it gave clone carts actual updates... but now the author has closed the source so it's just like AKAIO and EoS and such. Updated software that's locked to specific carts.
(A lot of carts claim they still have Wood support, but it's an older version with the version number changed.)

Anyways, we have stickies for this reason...

Hopefully they'll still update the Rev.C cards (including the blocked ones).

< 4 years. Released in Nov 2006, hacked in Aug 2010.

Your point still stands, though, as it was longer than 3DS has been out so far.

I was mag staff when hacks were actually released, it wasn't that long ago. :P

Earlier things shown were often on dev consoles, which don't check for sigs.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.
