That would be dependent on the game and would go back to the point of support being vital. If Nintendo branded games suddenly had a method of circumventing the use of playing the games on a flash cartridge and the negligence of a team to not determine or fix the issue in due time, this pretty much makes the use of said flash cartridge negligent for a large majority of players whom would play these games. I think the review on the Acekard 2 was great, but I think you're undermining the validity of future support. I wouldn't solely put this ideology to strictly flash cartridges but more so to any product I buy. Future support, driver compatibility, etc. is a vital part to the usability of a product.. If it doesn't have dedicated support, what good is the hardware or features if you can't even use it for its intended purpose? Hence, support is quite important.
This brings a question to mind. I don't know much about flashcarts (or the developers), so I was wondering, how is the support of AceKard. I went to their site a few days ago just to check it out, and the vast majority of the posts were in Chinese. And what little posts were in English, a person (I assume part of the development team) would reply back in very broken English with answers that didn't really seem to help. Either that or directing the people to email someone in AceKard directly. So I was wondering, is/was Acekard good about responding to criticisms/problems, or do they just ingor the majority and go at their own pace/liking?
