tryna play pokemon ds games via flashcart on a new 3ds 11.2 w a9lh/luma. most people seem to say the r4i gold rts is the way to go. when i look online, almost every site seems super sketchy or is out of stock. can anyone recommend another card, or confirm the r4i recommendation? and can anyone link a safe site to order from that won't take a month to get it to me if i'm on the east coast? thanks!!

They look super sketchy, but that is to be expected. Take it from me @Sketchy1

Jokes aside, their outlawed in the US anyway. Can't exactly expect them to look legit if their all illegal :rofl2:. Modchips direct is a good place.

I was in the very same boat as you a couple of weeks ago. After a lot of trawling, I found out that these guys ---> http://r4ids.cn/ are gbatemp sponsors and very well regarded by the community here. I wouldn't put my card details into that website though as it uses insecure (non https) pages. If you complete an order, you'll get an order number and instructions to email it over to them, they then generate a PayPal funds request.

They have to be a bit sketchy about taking the PayPal payment as PayPal will suspend their account if they find out they are selling flashcarts. Equally, it's in their interest to make sure you get what you order because if you have an issue you'd end up contacting PayPal about the transaction.

They got my card to me within 7 days of my PayPal payment.

ight i appreciate yalls suggestions, but im not really tryna wait a month and a half to play some games. due to cny, nds-card orders won't ship until early to mid february, on top of that it'll take upwards of 5 weeks to get here. like i said. not tryna wait that long. anybody able to recommend a us based shipper (or one that doesnt celebrate cny??) that i'd be able to get the card that i ordered, within maybe 2 weeks, and that won't upcharge or do random sketchy shit like a lot of the ones in the list on the r4i site have been reported to do??? i'm aware these sites exist in a legal gray area and can't be so openly sold so some sites will seem sketchy, but if anyone can vouch for any i'd really like to know. thanks yall :^)

I ordered mine from the same site suggested by others and got in within 10 days. Even if the expected shipping says a month from now I guarantee you'll get it much sooner.

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
