Thinking about replacing my Acekard2i with an R4i Gold 3DS. Will it experience the same lifespan problem the Acekard2i is currently experiencing? As I understand it, getting one like the DSTwo would be the best option, but I don't really want to spend $40 if I don't have to and I'm also not too pleased with its battery draining resources.
If you don't care for the GBA or SNES emulators (which really aren't that great like some people make them out to be), then you can get a SuperCard DSOne instead. since it doesn't have the onboard RAM, it won't have an increased battery drain. That's what I'm doing. Also, it gets updates just as promptly as the DSTwo, which is really fast.
