Materials needed: Nintendo DS, Axe

1). Place Nintendo DS on a hard, flat surface in front of you.
2). Take Axe in both hands and stand with feet shoulder width apart
3). Raise above head, inline with the Nintendo DS.
3). Bring Axe down with a sharp swing.

Congratulations, you've hacked your DS.

Okaybutreally, you need a flash cart. You put it in your DS (it's shaped like a normal game cart), and it has a microSD slot, you put the flash cart's system files and your ROMs on the microSD and the flash cart lets you choose and play games, to put it simply.

Note that the prices given are from chinese shops.
If you order from a shop in another country it's more expensive.

[*]The original R4.
NOT "R4-III Upgrade", NOT "R4-SDHC", NOT "R4i NDSLL", NOT "R4 Red", NOT "R4 King"...
NOT ANYTHING ELSE WITH "R4" IN THE NAME! JUST "R4 Revolution For DS".

The cheap card for somebody that just wants to play games on a DS/Lite.

[*]R4i Gold
The cheap card for somebody that wants to play games on a DSi with more storage.

[*]Acekard 2i
Mid-range card for people that want to play games on a DSi/XL with some extra features.

[*]EZ-Flash Vi
Higher-end card with even more features.

[*]Supercard DSTwo
Pretty much the ultimate card right now.


  • DS / DS Lite
    The card will work on an original (fat) DS or a DS Lite.
  • DSi / DSi XL
    The card will work on a DSi or DSi XL as well.
  • Game Updates
    Firmware updates are what let cards play newer games, these are the life-blood of the card.
  • SDHC
    SDHC refers to SD cards larger than 2GB (gigabytes). If there's no SDHC support, you can only use SD cards up to 2GB.
  • WiFi Update
    The Acekard 2i can update it's cheats (and get minor bug fixes) over WiFi without having to connect to a computer.
  • Auto Ap Bypass
    Some carts have special features to ignore AP in most games, letting you play them without having to wait for a firmware update first. The Acekard only has partial support for this right now.
  • RTS
    The Real-Time Save (Save State) function lets you save and reload your game progress at any moment you wish.
  • In-Game Guide
    You can pull up text files and images in-game, in order to check a walkthrough or map you downloaded at any time during a game.
  • Slow Motion
    The card lets you slow down the game speed as you wish.
  • In-Game Cheats
    The card lets you create and modify cheats while the game is running.
  • Special Homebrew
    The card has multiple pieces of special homebrew, such as it's own GBA and SNES emulators, as well as text/PDF reader and video player.
  • Battery Life
    Unfortunately the DSTwo's extra CPU and RAM (which give it the special features) eat into the battery life a bit.

Supposing you have a large quantity of free time, you could take a look at a few of the flashcart demonstrations that I have made so you can see how the GUI looks...if you are like me and care about that sort of stuff...

For the most part, everyone one recommends a DSTWO or AK2i...(WoodR4 kernel and AKAIO are fairly similar with slight differences)

Well what about it do you like that the others lack?
What do you mean

What is it that makes you want to get such a blatant piece of shit?

Unless of course you mean the iEvo.

Pretty straight forward, why pay for cyclo ds when you can just get an acekard for way cheaper, better support.

Okey this is what I want in a card so if someone could point me to the right dorection.

Play NDS roms I downloaded (like bootleg Roma)

Play gab rooms I downloaded (so I don't have to use slot 2 just download some .gab files from some Tom site and play)

Play media (like mp3 and avi)

Is this what you meant? If so, you're gonna need the Supercard DSTWO
