Hacking I can't make any sense of what DS Flash cart to purchase

[democracy]

Yeah the .com.cn and .hk ones run wood. No rts though but that's okay. I actually have a dstwo but I use the budget cards more, heh.

I thought they too do RTS, those lines of R4 cards are the same just different packaging.

No problem.

title to article is misleading, those are for the n3ds/n3dsxl. I almost didn't catch it had it not been for the images.

I see what you mean. On the company website though they might have some for the original 3ds/xl models, they just aren't advertised. Mainly posted it because of the OP saying he has a new nintendo 3ds xl.

I'd like to run snes, gba and perhaps Genesis games if possible. Is there any great incentive in getting a ds two plus for emulation?

I've had a DSTwo for a couple years now and it runs most snes & gba games pretty well...there is some lag, particularly on some SNES games, but I'd say the emulation is 90% or better as far as speed goes. The DSTwo+ has more onboard memory and a better cpu, so it runs the emulations better (in my experience). the DSTwo is totally playable. if you can find a the Plus unit for ~$40, I'd go that route, otherise, the regular DSTwo will suit all your needs.

thank you for relaying your experience with emulation on dstwo! Do you know of a good site based in North America to purchase from?

Modchipsdirect seems viable

I recommend R4i Gold if you want to store the cart in the 3DS while in sleep mode or while on and playing other games. It is also cheap

I recommend a DSTWO if you want the added benefit on in-game cheat menu (vs enabling them in the launcher) and save-states. I think the R4i gold may do save-states also but I have never used that feature myself.
this cart drains battery anytime it is in the cart slot with the console on or in sleep mode even if you are not using it.

The R4i Gold's RTS menu is horrible and could use some cleaning. It also doesn't work with all games.

Thanks, this is good to know.

R4i SDHC RTS is a good alternative. While the menu doesn't look amazing, all games work on it.
You can also use YSMenu on it.

I have the 3rd from the left coming my way, the R4i Gold cards fromwww.r4ids.cn

Is this the R4 card being recommended? Is it compatible with wood? seems so?

Is wood always best? Guess ill have to update it to wood after I receive it.

Bump,

Can someone advise me of this card is any good? Does it have full compatibility?

I have an R4i Gold (r4ids.cn version) and it works fine. the compatibility is pretty much 100%.

What games have you come across that it is not compatible with? Any popular mainstream ones?

I have come across no incompatible games (I use US/NA region games only) so far. there may be some obscure games that do not work but I do not know what they may be.

Thanks mate and are you using wood? Can I switch to wood without a DS lite?

you can switch to wood without a DS Lite. it is not a firmware update, it is more of a shell so you copy it to the MicroSD card of the R4i Gold.

Great, do you use wood or the or the official and why? And one last thing, does the time bomb aplly to this card?

I use wood. I see zero reason to not use it on a r4 variant like the r4i gold.
as far as I know, the time bomb problem is not an issue on this card.

Thank you, cheers!

I've personally ordered from DWTechz and ModChipsDirect. Both were pretty solid vendors for me. ModChipsDirect has warehouses in the states, so their shipping is super fast! (well, if you're in the states. )
