ndscard is your best bet from china. they're honest and have a good rep, but china post can take 2-3 weeks this time of year.
modchipsdirect is a good reseller based in the US so you get stuff quick (< week). You'll have to pay about 8 bucks more though.

I'm just curious, why did you decide against a free softmod like Frogminer?
About 600 people do this a day so you could too.

Maybe he wants it for DS games.
I need to buy a R4 card. I’ve been told either http://3ds-flashcard.com/ or https://www.nds-card.com/

Are both reputable?

Other suggestions??
I can vouch for nds-card, bought from them a couple of times and had no issues. I suggest the R4i Gold 3DS Plus, it's the best one.

Honestly I don’t know WHAT I need. I mean, I’m working on learning the CFW stuff.

My kids (3) got DS’s for Christmas. None of us have ever owned one. The boys (8 & 9yrs) have Pokémon Ultra Moon and Y, The Legend of Zelda and Mario Kart 7. My daughter (18yrs) has Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart. I just ordered a DS and I have nothing.

I don’t know much if anything about the games. DS vs 3DS or their availablilty. I don’t even know of a DS game that I want to play.

I just assumed that whatever I find in terms of games online it would probably be a combination of the two.

Would I be fine with 3DS games only? (Probably hard to answer and more personal to the individual)

Am I overthinking this??

I have this whole other thread going on how to get started. I just thought this was going to be an easier question so I asked it separately to get more responses/recommendation on WHERE to buy.

Here’s the other thread. I wasn’t trying to create a new long thread. I know that is not polite to those helping me already.

probably my fault although i and others have suggested frogminer i was still talking up ntrboot (as a potential unbricking utility/tool) due to the op having 4 3ds consoles (3 of which operated primarily by children)
that fredminer you suggested for lakersfan was really simple (i walked her through it) and went without a hitch it was the simplest cfw install walk-through i have ever done

i think you answered this in your post...

(Probably hard to answer and more personal to the individual)

I don’t even know of a DS game that I want to play.
...sounds like a no to me

better to overthink than never consider

I confirm to the op from this tread ...i have a ace 3ds plus and r4 gold 3ds rts,both of them works with a 64 gb microsd card sandisk.You are asking 64 gb its too much for nds card ?well you are right but to get the best games from nds games usually you need 32gb of space(thats include translations games and good hacks pokemon&mario).

Hey, man. I was helping someone out with a problem related to this.
His 64 GB card didn't work on his Ace 3DS+, and a quick glance about that flashcart's product page said it supports SDHC or up to 32 GB. That would imply anything bigger doesn't work.

How did you manage to get your 64 GB card working on your Ace 3DS Plus? Does it recognizes the entire (actual) ~60 GB capacity?
