so the DSTWO can do DS, and GBA games and is still supported and able to be used with the newest patches? I'm debating upgrading my ambassador 3ds because my acekard2 is obviously not going to work if i update to play the newer 3ds games...
first, to answer the OP regarding Supercard,
[best card] NO, GOD NO.
[for 3DS], yes if you were dumb enough to update your firmware like a totalNoob, the smart people with a low firmware can use an Acekard2i, the vastly superior card.

to answer lleohart, SC's GBA emulation is a bit misleading, and by a bit i mean massively.
GBA emulation SUCKS, it nowhere near the real thing. of course a DS Lite + EZ3in1 plays GBA games perfectly with real hardware. supported also isnt as great as you think, a simple AP patch with DSbuff is all it takes to run the newer games, it only takes like 2 seconds.
you should do a system transfer to a 3DS XL and take advantage of the amazing eShop offerings, if you want to illegally pirate games, 3DS is the worst option.
the ideal setup would be: used ds lite off ebay and a acekard or cyclo. and keep your 3DS for eShop only.
Protip: Game systems don't come with firmware 1.0 forever. 3DS/XL units being sold now already come with a later firmware than the AK2i supports preinstalled.
which is exactly why you Never Update Your Firmware!
if you have to buy a new unit just SWAP THE MOTHERBOARD. they almost never get damaged.
and if you use a older model you can avoid all this firmware nonsense.
not sure what you mean by "rely", they allready manufactured and distributed the flachcart, you cant honestly expect them to support it forever. just because dumb kids keep updating firmware.
newer games require a siimple AP patch with DSbuff.. it takes 2 seconds.
as for firmware support, you have the option of Not updating, using a DS Lite, or just buying the games and not illegally pirating them.
Unless you want to play 3DS games as well, and don't already have a 3DS.
Because, believe it or not, there's people out there that don't have a 3DS yet. And if they want one, they will likely get one new, which means a firmware version the AK2i doesn't support.
