Okay, Here's my take on the whole thing.
Acekard is better only because of AKAIO. I don't need RTS, or in game guide, or any of that BS.
The cyclo is STILL close to $50. I have seen almost every flash crt go down in price over the years EXCEPT for the cyclo, and at this point, there is no reason for it.
Back in the day, the Cyclo outclassed every flash cart available in terms of features and compatibility, and then it was worth the $50. The M3 Real/Zero does damn near everything that the Cyclo does, works on the DSi, and costs half as much.
That being said, Price point doesnt matter much to me, but you still have to be competitive, and right now Cyclo just isn't competitive with other flash carts way below the Cyclo's price point.
