Yea, I know, I updated to 1.4 without reading...
So now Im buying a new flash cart cuz the ppl at r4i-sdhc are slow and I dont think theyll ever make a fix.
Anyways, Which cart should i buy thats updatable and compatible with 1.4 and other versions that may arise?

well i would go with the acekard2i, great reliability and AKAIO has great updates and such. But remember you need access to a DSL or DS to update your ak2i once you get it. And wait why cant you buy one anywhere else?

i was considering to get an M3i zero, but then people said i should get an AK2i cause its easier and had the same amount of functions as M3i Zero, and it can use the AKAIO firmware. I got it but my usb is broken, but i would say that the AK2i is good

Be aware that M3i zero can update through your pc (USB port). So it can fix future updates that you'll make by mistke. That's the big positive for M3i zero. Anyway i saw both cards and both are great. AK2i is cheap from the other hand

So by going with the comments the Acekard is the way to go.
I might wait to tommorrow and see what mor epeople have to say,l but Im pretty sold on the AK2i.

Btw whats this akaio for the AK2i??
Im gunna be a new acekard user, I think I should know what that is ;/ LOL

I love the simplicity of the r4 clones, but their teams arent reliable.

The Ez flash with the 2.0 firmware is quite nice, and is kinda like sakura with out video or movies, but it boots as fast if not faster then the m3.
I will say this thought it cheat set up isnt as good as the m3 but homebrew is far more compatible.

well ak has amazing homebrew compatibility with akaio
but if u want m3 u can get the dual loader and if u want to run homebrew then just choose touch pod firmware since it has better compatibility than sakura

i would go with which ever you preferr they both have good teams supporting it because i woundered the same thing and the m3i is what im gonna get because i dont understand akiao and that stuff but if you on a budget then get the cheaper on because there both the 2 best flash cards for dsi to date and both updatble just ak2i is kinda a pain if youve updated already

Well I've been told that the best is the M3i Zero, so I'm on it, but now I'm seeing that here everyone goes more for the AceKard2i, although what is that

honestly, buy both. As the dsi does get updates, the best way to get updates quickly is to get both carts. It's not expensive if you get them from the right sites, that's what i'm doing now. I already got my m3i 0 and the acekard2i is in the mail, i'll be getting it soon.
However, after dealing with my friends acekard2i, I prefer the m3i 0, it has better updating capabilities, so it's more likely that it will be more useful in the future.

Dll newer models of the dsi have 1.4 on it now. If you dont have access to a 1.3 or lower dsi or a ds or ds lite, you cannot update your ak2i.
