weird the google cache shows that its this beach resort website that was cached on the fifth tenth, so 50% percent chance chance googles being stupid or maybe a website renovation done wrong i know that makes no sense but its just a guess, im guessing he may have copyed and pasted the website layout somehow i think you can do that?

No one has a clue what happened. Although this is a 3DS video gaming forum, I would wager the USA-Chinese tariff wars had something to do with this. :(

I do know one thing. They're not mod3dscard.com.

Also man its sucks because nobody told about that website Ive could've bought my flashcard there i don't go to home menu of this website I mostly ask questions, and go to the auto correct link you get when type in a website when you've visited the website before so I didn't see that website on the homepage.

Anyone know of a decent place to pickup a cheap DS flashcart now that's reliable?

Very interested in Tech3DS, but they seem like they're out of stock. Was planning to pickup a card from nds-card. :/

At this point, I think it's safe to say that hes folded up shop, and moved on.... As sad as it pains me to say it... but We should move on too. Flash cart sites come and go, and there's a few good ones left.

https://stoneagegamer.com/ and https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/ still make the best flash carts by hand in small batches (not mass-produced), and offer great firmware support. You pay a premium price, but get a quality product and killer support in return. To me, that's a much better trade-off than getting a cheap Chinese cart and having to rely on forum support and hacky, dodgy firmwares from who-knows-where.

Now on the "cheap+Chinese" end of the spectrum however, http://www.ezflash.cn/products/ offer decent support with their fairly-priced flash carts. I have a few of their carts, and they perform just fine for the price. And the support isn't half bad. There's also pretty good community support right here on FileTrip!

Hope this helps out anyone looking to buy a flash cart, giving you a few of the better options out there. :yay3ds:
Stone Age Gamer and BennVenn don't sell DS flashcarts though, do they?

You're right, I forgot they don't do those ones... I wonder why? Might be too tight of a workspace, or just not enough of a demand for them since they're still plentiful everywhere.

I've bought several times from https://www.r43ds.org and have never had any issues with them. Lots of others on the flashcart subreddit say the same thing so they would be a safe bet to get a card. I use them because they are one of the few that actually reply properly to email questions and have regular payment methods without weird send money in email as friends and family or some other strange payment request. And they've been around for a long time. I have used NDS-Card in the past as well. I do hope he is able to fix his site issues because that can't be a good thing at all, horrible if your site is shut down from one day to the next :(

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but didn't nds-card use PayPal? PayPal doesn't allow the selling of flashcarts, so they could have done something about it. (This is coming from my what my family that works for PayPal says. )

PayPal can't take their entire site down, the most they can do is block their ability to do transactions (and take back the money they made selling flashcarts I guess)

Yeah, I know. It was just a thought. I am not sure what happened. I had to buy my flashcart off of newegg.com (I bought 3 for about $20!)

This was their Email response:


“Website is down, it was limited because of flash cards transaction
we will fix it in 1-2 more days
once it is available we will tell you
sorry for the inconvenience to you”


Not exactly sure what that means but it seems they are working towards getting the site back up.

Because of flashcart transactions? PayPal probably limited their transactions so they couldn't send/receive money. They probably will remove the pay with PayPal option now.
