Nds-card shut down?

[THEGUY3ds]

ah thats good but still puzzling

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

if i may ask why did we break contract with nds-card

This thread should explain it https://gbatemp.net/threads/does-a-illegal-website-sponsor-gbatemp.453296/ and their advertising partnership is over.

That isn't why

Is the website working for you,what's wrong any update.

It seems to redirect or mirror the domain CraftingForBeginners.com not sure what it is but whatever rip nds-card

That was already established

Oh, my bad.

 

[THEGUY3ds]

Nds-card doesn’t even load now.

they got hacked. it says "this server could not prove that it is www.nds-card.com..."

That doesn't necessarily mean that

I have no personal ties to that site or its owners, they were a sponsor a while back but not anymore.
So I have no idea what's happening to them. If anyone knows I'd be curious to hear it, though.

 

[lAkdaOpeKA]

I've also tried emailing them, so far I got no response

Misleading title, we don't know what happened to them yet and the title made it sound like it's confirmed shut down. Should at least have a question mark at the end.

I hope they haven't shut down, they were one of the few good flashcart stores left (and with decent prices to boot)
Maybe their domain just expired and they forgot to renew it. It happens.

They replied back, this is what they said:

Yes, the site is down, we have not fixed it
sorry for the great inconvenience to you, our site should be complaint by someone

At this point, I think it's safe to say that hes folded up shop, and moved on.... As sad as it pains me to say it... but We should move on too. Flash cart sites come and go, and there's a few good ones left.

https://stoneagegamer.com/ and https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/ still make the best flash carts by hand in small batches (not mass-produced), and offer great firmware support. You pay a premium price, but get a quality product and killer support in return. To me, that's a much better trade-off than getting a cheap Chinese cart and having to rely on forum support and hacky, dodgy firmwares from who-knows-where.

Now on the "cheap+Chinese" end of the spectrum however, http://www.ezflash.cn/products/ offer decent support with their fairly-priced flash carts. I have a few of their carts, and they perform just fine for the price. And the support isn't half bad. There's also pretty good community support right here on FileTrip!

Hope this helps out anyone looking to buy a flash cart, giving you a few of the better options out there.

I think so too, perhaps the building thing could be because domain expired and someone snatched it or something before they could renew it...

Considering what they've told me, is seems a temporary issue (or maybe not, I don't really understand the last phrase)

Hi, Made an account just for this.

I have an order with nds_cards (made 18th Oct) is it likely I’ll still receive the card or is my money gone?

If the card already shipped it should arrive anyway. In case of doubt you can always contact them via email

What’s the email address?

 

[THEGUY3ds]

They replied to me with this.
Some people have complained about us, our site is blocked by godaddy, we are trying to fix it
it should work tomorrow
Thank you very much for your trust and support.

 

[FeroX]

Cool, that clears things up.
