Hacking How much are you willing to pay for a flash cart?

[JoyConG]

depends on whether it would be good or not

need to see reviews and how it fares with nintendo's inevitable patching

$100+ for something nice, but they will be cheap because it's in the manufacturing

 

[basher11]

i would wait for multiple flashcarts to come out.

 

[monkat]

i'll wait until there's some worthwhile homebrew out there, or at least an interpretor (a la microluads - sorry, no accent keys on my desktop....) to try out my own concoctions.

I paid $100 in 2005 for the first NDS flash cart, and it was worth it!

One the one hand, flash carts save you £££$$$ on the games you would buy, even if you were just trying before buying as quite often games are...shit.

On the other flash carts ruin games for me, I have only completed a couple of games i've pirated but i've completed the majority of games I've bought.

So for me, it would have to be no more than an RRP game
I would probably buy off the AKAIO or Acekard team (whatever they're called) since they seem most reputable and reliable.

tl;dr: £30.

3DS Flash card price.... thats a tough one, it would depend on features.

SDHC up to 32GB (for the future since in 5 years I can see micro SD cards in the 32GB range getting somewhat affordable.)

Firmware upgradeable so they can't be "blocked" by Nintendo.

A mini USB port next to the micro SD slot would be awesome so you could upgrade it from a PC. (This would put it in the premium price range of $50+ but might also make it stick out a bit like the DS Gameshark)

Cheat codes built in would be nice, DS game compatibility would be nice too but I am not sure it would be possible.

We will probably know a lot more when the machine actually comes out.

You got ripped off then

I bought a GBA supercard and a passme for $50 in 2005 to play nds games.

 

[steves334]

id pay up to $250 for the 1st 3ds flash cart if my 3ds was paid for if thats how much they cost, and i had the $

 

[Erdnaxela]

I want some AR homebrew, then I might buy a flash cart.

 

[Midna]

Ah, Action Replay. The perfect tool for people who can't actually beat games themselves.

 

[dsfanatic5]

i like how cheap you all are, i'd pay $80 for it if i had to. if you think about it, a 3ds game will cost 5)+ dollars (probably around 60 something) so once you have pirated two of them, you've saved money on it.

+1

This logic should apply to anyone that has ever paid for an actual game. If you can buy a product that will allow you to have free games forever, for the price of two actual games, then that would be a steal? Wouldn't it? If you answered no, then I really hope the 3DS never gets hacked, because I can afford the games, and don't mind paying for quality releases.

Or people who can, but just want to play again with ar to mess around!!!

 

[DiscostewSM]

Ah, Action Replay. The perfect tool for people who can't actually beat games themselves.

Or Augmented Reality; either one will do.

 

[wii_go]

50 to 60 bucks will be the limit, but i've got 500 to 6OO for the launch day, too much games, not really want to wait for a flashcard... so after 3 to 6 month maybe but before... noway

 

[TheDarkSeed]

Now If said flash cart excelled at everything.[Wide media format playback, perfect retro, gba, psX, n64, ds(i) emulation. With all 3ds camera & mic features available with update bypass.

I'd say my limit would be $200. And that's not being generous.

Nah, AR for Augmented Reality, tss >.

 

[FireGrey]

$30 on the net.
$60 off a friend or something.

 

[Infinite Zero]

online approx. $30
that's the most I will pay for

 

[Endrit49]

$100-150
good or bad, it depends

 

[SuperMarioMaster]

No more than $39.99. But it'll be a long time before the 3DS even gets a flash cart.
