So the AceKard remains something special then, at least in terms of ability to be read and written from GodMode9i?
I have an R4i Gold 3DS Plus, and I want so badly to switch over to using it as my main/only flash cart, but I am 100% hooked on this feature.
I'm regularly in a location where I want to copy GBA saves to my PC to run them off an emulator for a few hours before moving the save back to my 3DS. It's not feasible to FTP over wifi at the location where I'm making this copy, and opening the 3DS with a screwdriver every time I need to access one file is kind of a pain. GM9i and my AceKard have been hugely useful, but also frustrating for two reasons. If I leave my AceKard plugged in, it drains my battery like crazy. I'm talking system dead in under 24 hours just for having this flash card in the slot. Unplugging the card is also a bit frustrating as I've had to use several of the "paper tricks" just to get its pins to make regular contact with my 3DS, and it doesn't always like to slide out without some of that paper and plastic catching on things.
Would the Gold Plus be able to be read/written to if I flip the DIP switch over to ntrboot mode? I hardly ever use it as an actual flash card unless I'm hosting Download Play games or playing Retro Game Challenge.
