A friend of mine at school wants me to buy and set up a flashcart for them and are willing to pay me for the trouble (I do love to profit from my nerdiness) but I'm not too sure of what flashcart I should say would be the best for them. They're running on a DSlite, looking for a 4GB MicroSD and probably to spend as little as possible.
He just wants something capable of running 90% of ROMs clean (he also wants Pokemon Black/White but I'll patch that up for him) but something cheap so SupercardDSTwo is out. I can easily recommend a SCDSOne(i) (assuming the i variant works on the DSlite) as I have one myself and it works perfectly but I know it isn't the cheapest. Having no experience with the rest of the carts I figured I would ask you guys.
For instance is it better to buy an Acekard 2.1 or an Acekard2i? He doesn't need any DSi support but does the old cart run a different firmware and been abandoned?
Also I know that the R4 is severely outdated and doesn't work too great but certain models have been given a new lease of life by the WoodR4 firmware. Which ones on Shoptemp support this and is the firmware as good as anything the Acekard or Supercard teams can come up with?
Are M3s still a viable option in the grand scheme of things? I've heard they're very slow to update firmwares etc.
I know there a lot of threads that ask this every single day but, hey, every person wants something different from their cart so the threads are justified...kinda.
Thanks in advance
