even i think r4/dstt should die but with ywg updating r4 then whats the reason not to get r4? the only reason for me not to get r4 would be SDHC?
in my opinion...
as long as a card is being supported then a 5 USD, 10 USD, 40 USD flash cart should all being the same
if money is the issue then i don't see why not getting the cheapest (r4)
EDIT:
for topic starter...just bump around the forum and you will see various threads about which to get
r4 is as good as other cards as long its being updated...
however, it only supports up to 2GB SD card
if you are intending to store lots of games, movies in your SD card then stay away from r4
m3? i won't recommend this to people.......
it is not that they suck.... they seems to have some issues
mostly new games + patch
ak2i? is great as long normmatt keep updating AKAIO
scds2? hmmmmm the hottest flash cart in town....
i would say is a pretty good card and i think those team sc guys are on some agenda
at the end of the day.. weigh in what you want and decide yourself
