As the title states I am looking for a flash cart to play NDS roms on a New 3DS XL running firmware 10.6.0-31U. Don't really need anything else (emulators, 3DS roms, etc.). Was wondering if I could get the advice of any of you here.
1. I hear many people recommending the R4i Gold 3DS. Is this the one I want? (http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=149)
2. Googling "r4i 3ds gold" and trying to find the product on the R4 homepage, the only product that shows is this: http://www.r4ids.us/r4i-gold-3ds.html. Is this deluxe card a completely different product? It looks like this is also able to play 3DS games.
3. As stated above my New 3DS XL has the latest FW 10.6.0-31U. Do I have to ensure I keep "updating" the R4i Gold 3DS as newer 3DS system firmwares come out? I know of the "Wood R4 firmware", is this the only thing I have to patch on the R4i Gold 3DS? Do I need to perform any sort of update first to the flashcard before using it on my N3DS? And is Nintendo even trying to block this flashcart anymore?
4. As far as risk goes, just using an R4i 3DS Gold flashcart, there is no risk of bricking my New 3DS XL hardware right? Since the only modifications being done are to the flashcart itself and just simply plugging it in when I want to use it?
Thanks guys, I've tried to do my own reading but there is so much information, acronyms, and different versions of things that it's all still really confusing ><
