I currently have a DSi and I regret ever buying it, I can't load my special pictures in it, it only loads AAC for music, the DSi Ware thing sucks and I SACRIFICED the GBA slot.

Now, I currently have an Acekard 2i with AKAIO, I can currently play DS and GB/GBC games thanks to the emulators. As for my question, if I buy a DSL, will I still be able to use my Acekard 2i in it, and will I need additional hardware (another flashcart) to play GBA games? Or can I load them from SLOT 1 somehow?

Thanks!

1. Its not that hard to drag your song into itunes and click convert
2. Your "special pictures can EASILY be loaded on a flashcart
3. You say dsiware sucks just cuz your too lazy to spend any money on it.
4. GET AN IPLAYER

Excuse me but we are not discussing the DSi here. Stay on topic and stop trolling.

Excuse me but you are not a moderator so it is not your job, ok ?

i have an acekard 2i, a DSL and a 3in1 EZ (SLOT2-DEvice) and I can only recommend this combination...and yes to play gba games without iplayer you need additional hardware like the 3in1...

5 sec searching would have answered that...... You could have answered all your questions by yourself if you had searched....
You can only emulate gba games if you have an iPlayer flashcart, and even then the emulation is very far from perfect.

I got a DS Lite because of the GBA slot and so I will be able to update the Acekard in my daughter's DSi if a firmware update bricks it. I figured I didn't need the camera. I've been happy with my choice so far.

I have to agree with getting the Iplayer instead just wasting money to get a new DS and possibly a EZ3in 1

    @BigOnYa Godreborn sadly went crazy. I didn't spoke a lot with him, but on Discord he messaged me for some weeks before he left. Not sure if I may share his personal situation, but honestly it's nothing he didn't made clear over here. I'll try to be brief: He was having a bad time due to bipolarity. And he was messaging me that he wasn't feeling good emotionally speaking.

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Then something happened between Chary and him, again, nothing he didn't made publicly already, but if curious you should check his last threads.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Then, after that last thread, sone users began to mock him. I tried to mock him because he was giving me over 80 notifications per day about his "jokes", but I just stopped replying. I think he took personal the whole situation of me not replying to his same jokes repeated over and over and his personal thingy with Chary was the drop that spilled the glass or whatever. So he got banned fir his behavior towards Chary or something.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Really can't tell much as the last thing he wrote me via Discord was: "you hurt me really bad with your last joke" (He joked I sucked hus BaNaNa all day and I told him that Chary wouldn't even touch him with her bat whilst his mom sucked my BaNaNa every night) and I think he took it really personal. Mind you, that was my first response after 3 months of constant "Juan sucks my BaNaNa" jokes every day.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Oh yeah forgot about the entire Chary thing lol
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    And then he went even crazier and began blaming everyone for his situation (be aware that he's bipolar and I personally live with a bipolar person and I know how bipolars behave and excuses their behavior against others) so I immediately knew something was gonna get awfully wrong, even Flame and I talked a bit about that, and I warned Flame something like this would happen soon.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    But yeah, basically that... Godreborn couldn't take a joke when he was the one that started it all. Again... not justifying my one joke... but it kinda got me tired. Hehe. So... there...
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    that was such a rabbit hole
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    The only time I answered to his constant jokes left him with a bigger rabbit hole. He basically asked for the tip and I gave him the whole BaNaNa. I'm kind, gave him more than he could take.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    No but seriously... heh... he kinda asked for it... for 3 months or so. I'm kind.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, well thanks for the info. I had no idea.
