I have an AceKard 2 (not the 2i). There is no way to get it working on a DSi XL right? For that I'd need to order a AceKard 2i? Just wanted to confirm before I went a head and ordered one. I'll be picking up the new midnight blue DSi XL next week to replace my DS Lite.

Another question since we're on the subject. Anyone know how long Shoptemp takes to ship to Western Canada (approx)? They ship from a US location unlike the Chinese competition, right?

Yup the AK2 is for DS and DSLite, for the DSi you need AK2i~!

About shipping time I don't know much, it also depends if you want free shipping or are willing to pay extra. If you pay extra it will be between 3-5 days, otherwise it will be between 2-5 weeks.

Shoptemp ship from Hong Kong, and how long it'll take will depend on the shipping you order.
Free shipping is estimated to take 2-5 weeks, but many people report it can take less.
Ordering express shipping like UPS should take less than a week.

There's full details here.

Remember, some people do have contacts issues with the DSi XL and Acekard 2i and have to pull the cart out slightly for it to work. Have a look in my guide in my sig.

Awesome, thanks for the replies folks. Nice guide as well tk_saturn I'll take a look!

Just to make sure, the Acekard is still one of the best bang for your buck flash carts right? It was back in the day when I got my first one, just wanted to make sure that is still the popular opinion? No new Acekard killer at this price point? I know about the R4 with wood firmware or whatever but I'd rather stick with what I already know which is Acekard with AKAIO.

Thanks again!

The R4 with Wood is pretty good and awesome value, but won't work on any DSi/ DSi XL or support MicroSDHC cards.

As far as DSi cards are concered, yes the Acekard 2i is still good value. You have carts like the DSTWO, but if don't need it's extra features, why pay $20 extra for them?

As far as "bang for your buck" goes, I'd definitely say that Acekard 2i with AKAIO is best if you need DSi or SDHC, and R4DS with Wood R4 if you don't need those.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
