Since you already have B9S, you can use any DS flash cart (sans DSTT because it overrides BIOS).
If you run DS homebrews often, buy an AceKard 2I as it is the "standard" when developing homebrews.
If you only play DS commercial ROM, buy a DSTwo (not plus,it is not worth it) as it has an on-cart processor that can "debug" (read:cheat) raw RAM on the fly.
Avoid anything if it has the word "R4iSDHC" anywhere on the cart. They all have a time bomb, which is 2019-09-03.

Huh? There going to blow up?

Not literal.
They will stop working after that date. Some of them are permanent.

No, it just means they stop working when a certain date is reached, making it unusable.

Personally I always suggest the R4i Gold Plus. You get all the benfits that you would get with the akAIO plus RTS and you has have a cart with a switch for NTRBoot for any possible future hacking.

I really won't suggest the ak2i (despite being my favorite cart) due the contact issues that make it completely unusable if you breath too hard in the general direction of the cart. The Supercard DSTWO isn't worth the price anymore. The major selling points(GBA/SNES emulation) have been replaced with ROM injections.
I would agree that every single cart made by the R4i-SDHC team is complete crap and it's completely their fault.

But there is still one selling point, that is you can directly edit the game's RAM instead of loading preconfigured cheats.
Remember that Rosalina can only work in 3DS mode, which is impossible if you are using a DS cart.

It's a cool feature and something I played around with back in the day, so I can't really disagree with that being a selling point.
I actually still have my DSTWO, but never use it because I like battery life.

The cheapest one and use YSmenu or change the time back to xxx for them to work.
Or buy like a $10-$15 card which does not have a timebomb.
My favourite tho.

Well you cannot use that trick on a 3DS.
If you change back the system time some games like SM4SH will trash the save file.

Which means nothing about not being able to use it. You can always go back for the DS flashcards to work. There is no problem with that.
Problem with other games is something else.

Also that's why I first mention the YSmenu.

one advice was to avoid all r4i cards .. R4i Gold 3DS Plus is not a timebomb ? i simply want to play nds. dumps on my 3ds im still unsure

99% of ds flashcards are called r4i, so you can't about them. Nope the gold plus does not have a time bomb.
Still, the rule of thumb for me is: cheaper is better (because I don't care about the time bomb).

If you only play DS commercial ROM, buy a DSTwo (not plus,it is not worth it)

They're the same price, and the plus gets improved battery life.

No, you were advised to avoid the r4i-SDHC brand name. r4i Gold is a different brand, and basically universally recommended. There's some debate about whether the r4i Gold or dstwo gets better battery life, I believe the ds2 (Mine is a +) does. In any case, my r4i Gold doesn't fit in my 3DS, so I can't test.

They are not. DS2 is about $10 in China.DS2+ is about $20.AK2i is about $4.The crappy R4i-SDHCs are about $7.
Remember that most of the flashcarts are made in China.

That is terrible advice and the timebomb is an issues. Although it can be avoid with ysmenu, it's still an issue that needs to be concerned about.

You just need to avoid the R4i-SDHC/R4iSDHC brands of carts, they have a timebomb. They also have a cart called the R4i Gold Pro, which is the same as the others and has a timebome.
The R4i Gold Plus (url on cart r4ids.cn) runs Wood R4, which does not have a timebomb. If you only want to play DS games, the R4i Gold Plus is a perfect match for you.

They are not. DS2 is about $10 in China.DS2+ is about $20.AK2i is about $4.The crappy R4i-SDHCs are about $7.

But they aren't that price for the rest of the world. As well most people can't buy from China. The DSTWO is normally about 35$ to 40$ US and have become extremely rare online.

Remember that most people can't buy from China. The OP is in Germany.

In the US, a DS2 is $40, a DS2+ is $40, and prices in Germany should be the same.

I have an R4i Gold that I used to install ntrboot to install cfw on my 2DS. I then flashed it back to use as a DS flash cart once cfw was installed.

Personal i like the 4th gold series (preferably 2018) they work good and you can find them for ridiculously cheap on wish (I personally found one for 4$!). just watch out for fakes, there pretty easy to tell from real flashcarts.

Why, when it is so simple to bypass it?
