I was out last night hunting for a place to buy an AK2i and a dstwo for someone at lowest price and it was harder than usual all the chinese retailers seem having a hard time.
heres the retailers i used to buy from in order of preference

1. Shoptemp- Man shoptemp was the just shit the best store ever.

2. Dealextreme- They just had the best prices. They stopped selling them and opened ndscardsale.com which does not have AK2i and DStwo (i guess supercard and acekard dont like them for some reason)

3. Lightake - Wuut? they only have 1000 r4 clones now.

4. 0shippingzone - they changed to realhotstuff.hk; that sounds fishy.

5. Zhuzhuchina - They don't do free shippng anymore apparently.

Well what is your most trusted sites now? I finally bought them from priceangels i think its banned from gbatemp i hope the acekard is real. suprisingly they shipped 7 hours after my order which is nice

EDIT:it was before gbatemp revamp

zhuzhuchina is really good, and I once used 0shippingzone. The thing I like about 0shippingzone is they provide an image of the parcel before they send it.

Oshippingzone and realhotstuff.hk are the same store. I just found that out two days ago. Go log onto their website and it will redirect you to realhotstuff.hk

Priceangels is what I use now that DX stopped selling cards. Priceangels is most likely a DX sister company because they use the same stickers and similar product codes to mark their products.

The one time I did business with Zhuzhuchina they really impressed me.
I believe it was 12 days from China to the US.
Would certainly do business with them again.

ZhuZhuChina (not just because they gave me a free R4 :P). They're cheap, reliable and post a picture of your parcel before posting. They also have good delivery times, no more than 14 days which is great coming from China.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
