Hi, I picked up a 2DS last week and am looking to get a cart. I'm going to use it mainly for DS games and am not really concerned about emulation. However I might get something that supports 3DS games. I see a lot of options out there and was wondering if you guys could give me a recommendation. Thanks!

Even if you were to get a cart for 3ds games anyways, they can be tricky to deal with. For example, s**3ds has several different versions that can only support certain games (due to Nintendo changing security measures in retail games throughout the system's lifespan). There are other carts, but since you can play any 3ds title as a digital copy with little to no risk, I highly recommend just buying a ds flashcart (mentioned above) and getting cfw via the recommended guide.

3ds flashcarts are basically useless now a days, it doesnt give you the ease of yse and compatibilty as the cfw can do. It can also easily ban you because flashcarts tends to use the same cart id.

If you only want to play ds games, choose the cheap Ace3ds plus. If you also want to play ds and 3ds games and don't care about the price, Stargate 3ds can support them.

No. Just... No.
Why would you get a $90 flashcart when you can CFW your 3DS and pick a $20 flahscarf (or less)?

    Lol, yea I'm a Xbox fanboy. I'm on Series X.
  • The_Dizzy_Vizzy @ The_Dizzy_Vizzy:
    @K3Nv2, lol, who does?
  • The_Dizzy_Vizzy @ The_Dizzy_Vizzy:
    @BigOnYa, if I were to get a new/current-gen console it would definitely be the Series X. Do you, in your opinon and experience,, do you think that the Series S was a bad idea for MS, becuase between the Series X and S, the developers are building games to the lowest common denominator (the Series S), so you never really get to see what the X can do???
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The S is still a good choice for half the cost can't really tell the difference unless you nitpick
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I have a ps5/series s and it's hard to tell the difference tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I've never played on Series S so don't know, but its not 4k, 120hz, Ray Tracing like the Series X is.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can upscale series s to 4k
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    30fps prob tho
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Doesn't really matter your eye won't tell the difference
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's half the cost so you'll have nifty features but to the average I just wanna play Xbox there won't be a huge difference
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If you got a nice gaming pc you can just get PC gamepass on that. Gamepass Ultimate lets you play on both console and PC.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can even use smart tv/ firestick to cloud game off gamepass, but obviously not nearly as good, fps dips, low rez, long load times.
  • The_Dizzy_Vizzy @ The_Dizzy_Vizzy:
    @Everybody, while I have a computer that can run plenty of games (inc ray-tracing, big FPS, etc), I am at heart a console gamer. I work in front of a computer 8 hours a day for 5days a week. Trust me, when I get home from work and want to play a game, it sure as hell won't be on my PC. I don't want to sit in front of a dual monitor setup (and yes I know I can hook my PC up to my TV but that would be missing the point), I like the simplicity and the informality of a gaming console. But I read all your responses and appreciate what you have to say about the Series S/X. Biggy menitoned that Series S runs games @ 30fps, not all games I'm sure, but I'd seriously be missing out on that 60 FPS. Once you go 60, 30 FPS is way down the ladder...

    @The_Dizzy_Vizzy Look at @Everybody 's profile
  • The_Dizzy_Vizzy @ The_Dizzy_Vizzy:
    Ok, I'll fix that, so long as I think I know what you're talking about...
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @The_Dizzy_Vizzy yea if you can afford it, and your tv is a 4k HDR 10, then obviously the Series X is better, I forgot it has ray tracing also and the Series S does not. But both are good to enjoy games in current gen.
