Now I know this sort of topic has been probably posted a hundred times before, but I did try to get onto the GBAtemp IRC to ask advice on a cart but wasn't able to connect, on either the CGI or java programs, or mIRC or Opera chat. (Though that's another problem)
After using a DSTT for a year an a half I upgraded to an M3i about 4 months ago for the features, and I must say I was a little disappointed. The whole case feels really flimsy, it's corrupted my data once, the load times are pretty slow and froze far more often, soft reset is quite a lot harder to use, save states were difficult to get my head around and certainly not as useful as I had hoped (trying to use them in heart gold to get huge scores on the coin game met with tragic results =P).
Although, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE INTERFACE. It is smooth, sorts alphabetically, easier to skin with, and simply visually appealing.
Meanwhile the DSTT had extremely fast loading times, soft reset was easy to use and fast, and the casing was rigid and strong feeling, but it's interface was terrible and it's firmware had little to no official support, games were listed by the date they were loaded, skins were difficult to use and while it wasn't *quite* as klunky as touchpod, it was still pretty slow scrolling.
So while my DSTT was great, and the M3i had an irreplaceable interface, I've decided to upgrade.
At first I thought Supercard DSTWO, because of all the snazzy features, but reading the review to it it didn't seem too much different from the M3i in terms of a flimsy feeling card, freezing issues, features which aren't quite upto par etc etc.
So, I just need some advice on whether to get a DSTWO and hope that the software gets better (though the hardware won't), hold out for a hardware revision, or get something else entirely. I was thinking Acekard 2, RPG or cyclo, because I had heard good things of all three.
Please help, or direct me to a condensed fact sheet where I may find everything I need to know.
Thanks for your time
EDIT: Not to mention the M3 microsd reader crapped out on me after a month while I STILL use the one I got with my DSTT years ago, despite it going through the wash twice.
