Hi everyone. I'm interested in getting a new flashcart, since i have M3i Zero and I'm not happy with the M3 team. They seem dead, the software has bugs...
Anyway, I would like to have some advices and opinions on what cart should I get. Also I'm going to give my girlfriend a pink DSi for Christmas, and get her a cart along with the console. And I don't want to buy one that seems dead. Give some advices please.

Thanks in advance.

Basically, it all depends on how much you're willing to pay.

For ~$5 (+memory)
Get a LEGITIMATE R4. The one sold at ShopTemp is a legit 1:1 clone that can run Wood R4. Don't even bother with anything but the original (no R4i/R4+/R4 Gold/etc.)

What you get:
NOT compatible with the DSi

Here's my copy-paste on it.


You have three choices for carts that have proper support/updates.
[*]The original R4.
NOT "R4-III Upgrade", NOT "R4-SDHC", NOT "R4i", NOT "R4 Gold", NOT "R4 Red", NOT "R4 King"...
NOT ANYTHING ELSE WITH "R4" IN THE NAME! JUST "R4 Revolution".
  • Price: $6 from shoptemp.com
  • Advantages: Can use Wood R4, giving it compatibility with modern games.
  • Disadvantages: No DSi support, limited to memory cards 2GB and lower, no special features.
  • Rank: The cheap card for somebody that just wants to play some games on a DS/Lite.
[*]Acekard 2i
  • Price: $15 from shoptemp.com
  • Advantages: Can use AKAIO, giving it compatibility with modern games. Can update itself and cheats over wifi, supports the DSi/XL, and supports memory cards up to 32GB.
  • Disadvantages: Can't do any of the special stuff the DSTwo can.
  • Rank: Mid-range card for people that want to play lots of games on a DSi/XL with some extra features.
[*]Supercard DSTwo
  • Price: $35 from shoptemp.com
  • Advantages: Supports the DSi/XL, can update itself even if the DSi won't run it, supports memory cards up to 32GB, real-time save (save states), in-game guide (show text and images from walkthroughs without having to reset the game), "free cheat" which lets you modify memory while the game is running, GBA and SNES emulator, slow motion, and more.
  • Disadvantages: The onboard processor and such means it eats into your battery life a bit.
  • Rank: Pretty much the ultimate card right now.

For the DSi, Acekard 2i and DSTWO are arguably the best cards to pick. It all depends on how much you're willing to pay. And the DSTWO because of it's extra processor, using some stuff chews through battery life.

    Sorry, the translator worked where it wasn't needed ahaha)

    ahaha very funny. only I am a developer and a master in laptop repair. I am not a fan of consoles, never repaired them, never played on them, and have no idea what you are talking about here. I just came to show you a tool that can simplify your work on modding PS4 and PS5 BIOS.

    If you do not need any tools, and you want to continue laughing and perform these tasks on modding BIOS slowly - do as you want.
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    I know that any thematic community can be very toxic to new people and will joke about them for any reason.
    But I am like that too, and I can joke too.

    Only I am from another field of activity, in which you do not understand absolutely anything, and there they will laugh at you if you come there for the first time.

    No offense, this is just a response to your jokes :)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Help me get past the rules, or else I blackmail the PS community, is what you are saying? Well no getting past the rules here. If you want to post links, you must have a certain number of posts first, it prevents spammers.

    I don't want to bypass your rules on purpose.
    But I don't have the time or desire to make 5 posts on a forum unknown to me just to publish a link to an open source project.
    If you don't need it, just say so.
    I don't need any bypassing of the rules, and I especially don't need jokes at my expense.
    I'll even delete my topic entirely if yo
    u're not interested.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @lapot2, not so much trolls as just a little over a half dozen chumps who hang out in here regularly and chitchat about various things. Usually not even gaming lol. Hence it'd probably be better to just get a few posts and interact with the community a little bit so you can share the link directly :)

    Opening up a thread and linking to your project gains much more exposure than a chat

    People in a couple of days from now might see the thread but won't ever see the chat message

    everything has its time)

    the main thing is that I like your sense of humor, mine is also very well developed xD
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    I already created a topic in the PS4 section a few hours ago
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    do you need help with your thread?
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and I also like being a fool and chatting in a chat about all sorts of nonsense more than
    sitting silently with a smart face:rofl2:

  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @DinohScene , I created a topic a long time ago, but I couldn't attach links to it to GitHub with materials for self-assembly of the device and a short review.
    that's why I wrote to this chat later :D
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    report the thread you made and write down what links you'd want me to attach to the OP as the report reason, I'll take care of it immediately ;)

    The open version, although it does not have many conveniences, but even without them it will be more convenient to work than with any other tools like ch341 and ezp2023.
    Well, the full version is still impossible to get in Europe, so this is not even an advertisement for a paid device)
