Hacking Best Flash Cart: In Terms Of Compatibility

[I am r4ymond]

SuperCard. Everything works with it.

Every Game Works on it? Including Pokemon HG/SS. Does it constantly updates?

Like, almost every week the files are updated. The Supercard Team is always working to improve Supercard (EOS).

[Sabregod]

So Everyone agrees that AceKard w/ AKAIO is the best. Right?

I'm not a Noob
I have a Brain
I will not be using 8GB+ of Memory. I have 4GB and i think it's enough
I will be buying AceKard for AKAIO; Not AceKard's Official Firmware
I'm Planning to order an AceKard in Leetmod. I think it's cheap & Legit
I have a DS Lite. So i think i couldn't play those DSi Exclusive Games.
I don't play GBA Games

What? The EZFVi receives updates like, every two weeks or so. They've got good compatibility, and better service than the M3 Team.

The Supercard most definitely beats most of the flashcards out there. Nearly ALL games work on it, and the ones that don't only have a couple of small issues. Updates come out very quickly, as I am r4ymond said.

Maybe my post was a little misleading, here's my list a little more clarified.

Acekard and AKAIO (AKAIO team, that is) > Supercard team> EZF team > EDGE team = Cyclo team = M3 team >> Anything utilizing YSMenu >>>>>>>>>>>> Others >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>R4.

Not that big a difference. Nowadays, most of the frequently bought flashcards have great compatibility though, so they're all very close together. The AKAIO team isn't that big a leap from the Supercard team, EZF team, EDGE team, Cyclo team, or M3 team. But the team's compatibility is slightly better. Only slightly.

I'm confirming 16GB works as i've been using 16GB mircosdhc since i got my ak2i last september

 

[elixirdream]

Uncle FEFL,
have to agree with what you said
this is why i always recommend users

ak2i, cylcods, m3, supercard

however, ak2i will always come first for me

due to the awesome cheat engine!

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

SDHC is a standard, the max for that standard is 32GB. Unless Sandisk wants to pull shit out and release a 64GB microSDHC for 700+ bucks or something. You won't see anything higher than 32GB microSDHC on any flashcart with microSDHC support.

I'm Going To Buy An AceKard

I hope Leetmod sell legit AceKards

 

[Dark^'^Knigh]

Is it AceKard? I'm Planning to Order an AceKard in Leetmod. So is AceKard the best Flash Cart when it comes to Compatibility? Does Leetmod also sells Legit AceKard?
EDIT: BTW I'm Going to use AKAIO as an alternative firmware for my AceKard

I decided long ago that game compatibility is not the sole factor in making such a decision. Reason being "game compatibilty' is a variable between all of the carts - meaning sometimes a new release will work immediately on one particular cart without the need for an update, whilst requiring an update for other carts. However, it often works in reverse where the same cart requires an update, whilst others don't....this does occur occassionally.
Your question might be better worded to include which games you need to run now, as no one can pedict a products compatibilty going forward.

One thing is for certain - avoid any R4 branded cart, DSTT, any other clones floating around (usually ID by FW requiring YSMenu).

 

[Rydian]

ezflash Vi has great compatibility and update faster than any other flashcart they were the first to have a flashcart to work on dsi and already fixed pokemon HG and SS USA
i say get the ezflash ViThe acekard 2i worked with HG/SS when they came out.

-/+ DOES NOT PLAY DSi EXCLUISVE GAMESTo clarify for the OP, no flash cart currently plays DSi-exclusive games or can use any DSi features.

-/+ DOES NOT PLAY GBA GAMES ALONE, NEEDS SLOT 2 DEVICE FOR THAT WHICH REQUIRES NDS OR NDSL

And again to clarify, no current cart can do this (save for emulation, which all carts can to one degree or another but it mostly sucks).

 

[Gariscus]

I'd recommend CycloDS it is at least 2nd(if not 1st) after Acekard 2i . Basically if you can afford it get a CycloDS. If you can't afford it get a Acekard 2i.

 

[Rydian]

Basically if you can afford it get a CycloDS. If you can't afford it get a Acekard 2i.

Yeah, cyclo has more features and acekard's cheap, but the two are pretty tied in game compatibility.

 

[Shadow#1]

Acekard with AKAIO firmware you will not be sorry.

 

[Sabregod]

Could someone verify if Leetmod sells Legit AceKards

 

[Shadow#1]

Get it here Acekard2i

 

[Sabregod]

Get it here Acekard2i

Do they ship to Canada? And how long is the shipping takes?

 

[lolzed]

btw leetmod seems to be selling legit ones,guess you'll find out when you put AKAIO on it
