And from an American seller? I'm sorry if this comes across as a bit lazy, but I've never bought these types of things before and I don't even know where to begin.

Depends... What are you looking for; 3DS Flash Cart or NDS Flash Cart?
NDS: R4i
3DS: Gateway (Depends on which official reseller you look at)

A DS flashcart that will play on a 3DS is what I'm asking.

So a regular R4i will work? Do I need to get a R4i-Gold?

If all you want is playing nds games or homebrew,r4i gold from r4ds.cn is a good choice , supported by wood team, with a top game compatibility and price is hard to beat . Now N3ds firmware has been updated to v9 2.0,r4i gold 3ds can directly work on it as well.

r4ids.cn is the site he meant.

Wait, they have 3DS flashcarts (that is, carts that play pirated 3DS games) that work on the latest 3DS firmware?

it's cheap but the build quality is shitty which you will face issue like the card not recognizing the microsd that you have to reinsert it many times to get it working. slight nudges on the system and your game freeze. poorly constructed microsd slot or contacts, don't really know which one is the real cause. if you were to switch to a different game and ejected the card, maybe just a little contact with the microsd card, the next time you put it back to the game slot you have to remove it again and blow air onto the contacts or into the microsd slot, keep on reinserting until you find the right 'position' to get it properly recognized by your ds. better spend more on a more reliable one for longer-term usage. definitely not recommended to get the r4ids.cn card.

If you want higher end NDS homebrew, NDS ROM loading, and willing to deal with a significantly worse battery life: DSTwo Supercard

If you just want standard NDS homebrew and NDS ROM loading: R4i RTS 3DS from r4ids.cn

The DSTwo Supercard has internal hardware for improved performance for homebrew coded for it, but at the cost of battery life and is more expensive. As long as it has support behind it, it will probably never be permanently blocked.
The R4i RTS 3DS is just your standard flashcart. It's not as costly and doesn't hurt battery life to any significant degree. It could also be blocked permanently on possible future firmware, though Nintendo seemed to stop caring about DS mode flashcarts.

Wow, I've never had that happen to my R4i Gold ever in the two years I've been using it.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
