I'm looking to buy 2 flashcarts and I was looking at the R4DS and Acecart. I'm looking for cheap ones so that is why I chose these two but I'm having trouble deciding which to get. I hear people saying it is hard to find a legit R4 and the Acecart has some sort of proprietary file system but it supports SDHC cards. Can anyone give me an opinion on which to get or if there is a better flashcart out there?
Your right, it is hard to find a legit R4. I would get an acekard2. it is one of the best flashcards on the market. It is simple to use. But it has no extra features.(ex. RTS,RTG) If you want extra features get a Supercard DS one(or i version).

OK from personal experience id really steer towards the EDGE as it is one reliable flash cart solid build, cool front graphics, great rom compatibility and due to the fact it was copied of the cyclo ds its firmware is usually released soon after team cyclops releases theres
p.s if you mind the wait get it from deal extreme for about $15 which is a great price heres a link to the official GBATEMP review

Then you haven't tried to run Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4, Tropix or Star Wars Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance.jakob95 said:
EDIT: Note to moderators - Is there any chance of making it against forum rules to recommend R4 cards to other users?
I think I'm gonna buy the EDGE. Do you know where dealextreme ships from? I live in the US East Coast. Also anybody know where to get cheap 8gb SDHC card? I found one on newegg for 18 dollars.

A firmware update from whom exactly? Development for the DSTT firmware (the backbone of YSMenu) seems to be dead and YSMenu updates deal only with functionality, NOT ROM compatibility. As for an official R4 firmware update... that will be on the day Satan goes to work on ice skates.jakob95 said:
Sure, most games can be made to work on R4 cards using custom firmwares, patches and the occasional cheat code (I am an R4 user myself) but if you are recommending a card to a new user would it not be better to recommend a card that works straight out of the box? A card with a real support team? A card that has SDHC support? Real R4 cards have none of these features. And the fakes are even worse...

The top 3 carts right now are M3 Real, Acekard 2, and Cyclo DS.
But that's only for DSL, for DSi it's probably:
AK2i, iTouch2, and the upcoming M3 Reali or SCDS1i.
But never get any flashcart with the name R4 in it.

No body's recomending the Supercard brand. I mean its got its problems, but it's a reliable card brand with a great team behind it.

@Psionic Roshambo i didn't go amd for one specific reason, the AI performance is way behind nvidia+1

@
The Real Jdbye:
oh yeah also DLSS is a pretty solid reason to go nvidia since fidelityfx is kinda crap
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and now with the rtx video upscaling, and sdr->hdr conversion, even more reason to go nvidia

Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different

the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now

I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)

Psionic Roshambo:
So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.

they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding+1

The Real Jdbye:
AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that

@
The Real Jdbye:
least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
