You should... Clone flashcards hurt the real flashcard makers.Oisterboy said:So, I'm asking for a DSi for my birthday.
I'd like to play roms obviously, as well as have it be the best one for compatibility (idk if you can do DSiWare yet, I haven't looked into it just yet).
I'd also like it to be under $20, and available on DX if possible.
Thanks!No cards can run in DSi mode, so that means all the DSi cards are running in NDS mode, without the "i" features.
Sounds like you might want to get an AceKard 2i.
One of the best, if not THE best for compatibility, and it's only $13.

It's a touch over $20, but... M3i Zero is also a good choice
And has some extras that you can't get on the AceKard.

I don't care if its a crappy clone. DX has Acekards for $12.drag0nzord said:i dont know that much but i dont think you want to buy a flashcart for under $20.00AceKard 2i says "hi!".

Yeah... DX = DealExtremerad140 said:@Oisterboy: They pretty much all play roms. You're looking for one that is DSi compatible and that won't be locked out w/ a future firmware update.
All the flashcarts now have pretty much 100% compatibility.
I don't think any yet have support for DSiWare.
Your best bet is to go with the Acekard 2i. You can pick it up for $25. I have no idea what DX is. DealExtreme maybe?
The problem is that there has been bad batches of AceKard2 I believe, but I've heard that sites like 0shippingzone and DealExtreme are very good about exchanging them.rad140 said:@Oisterboy: As far as I know, the CycloDS does not work on the DSi. I don't think there are any carts right now that can emulate DSiWare.Correct on both accounts.
CycloDS doesn't have a DSi version of their card...
And NO cards, even "i" versions of cards, work in DSi mode. They all use NDS mode.
QUOTE(rad140 @ Mar 18 2010, 07:38 PM) I've heard some reports that sellers have been selling faulty Acekard 2's (esp. 0shippingzone), so I'm thinking of buying an Acekard 2i instead. Is one better than the other, or is the 2i just a slightly upgraded, DSi compatible version?

Both are good if you want to play Pokemon
both are updated, and have great compatibility. It seems you just want things to be easy and simple, so EDGE is the way to go here. If you like a more complex interface then i'd go for Acekard, and thus you can benefit from AKAIO...yet again depends what you want, yet bottom line is that Pokemon, and any other future games will most probably work and recieve support from the team
DX takes usually 2-3 weeks to get to you. You can't buy it off DX either anymore. No the bypass doesn't work anymore either.Stack That Cheese said:Maz7006 said:Stack That Cheese said:which would be better, edge or acekard, getting pretty much for pokemon and i need to upgrade my r4

alright thanks, ill probably order an acekard dor myself, and an edge as a present, does dealextreme take a long time to ship?

JamesTrain said:Alright I'm looking for nothing specific just a reliable card that supports all games and has fairly good homebrew support. Personally right now I am using an R4 and as you all know... its terrible.
Thanks
NOTE: I'm using a DS lite so will an AceKard 2i work or not?
Jackthelad said:Yes an acekard2i would be a good choice and it will work on a DSlite.
Ok so now my question is where to buy one? It seems like all of the stores I used to buy from dont have flash carts anymore.
QUOTE(ivobhz @ Mar 21 2010, 12:32 PM) The AceKard2i will work. But you see, people say that the R4 sucks today, but isn't really that way...try to put YSmenu + DSTT v1.17a12 and watch the compatibility go very high and also have good homebrew support.
