Ok, it's getting kinda ridiculous how many threads there are about which flashcart to buy, and a lot of the time the threads don't even state what you're looking for in the flashcart. So, I've decided to make this thread where you can post your question about which to buy, along with the criterion.
This should include: what you're going to use your flashcart for (games, music, videos, homebrew), a price range that you'll accept, special features that you need (such as if you need the cart to be SDHC compatible), whether you want a slot-1 or slot-2, whether you want built-in memory or expandable memory, if you want rumble and/or internet browser and/or GBA, and anything else you can think of.
Each flashcart has it's ups and downs; there is no perfect flashcart. However, there is usually one that is the best for each person's personal needs. I know there are tons of DS flashcarts, and researching about all of them can be quite a chore, so I'm not blaming those people who have asked which to buy. I'm just trying to make sure the forum isn't filled with those threads. So, just post your question here, and I'm sure others will be glad to help! (Well, I'm sure I will anyways, if I'm not in a bad mood
)
EDIT: Oh yeah and if you've got your choice narrowed down to a select few flashcarts, you can state those carts. Of course, other flashcarts can still be suggested.
EDIT2: Sinkhead suggested a good code, which was
So if you were to ask which flashcart you should buy, you would copy and paste (edited):
You would put the answers to the right of the question it corresponds to, on the same line. If you had any more info, you could put it underneath the code. And if you don't understand what one of these questions means, ask by all means.
Oh, and ANYONE can help. The more helpers the merrier
EDIT3: added "rumble/web browser" and "others" to the code
EDIT4: added the "for slot-2's" line to the code. If you didn't know, slot-2 expansion packs are like the ezflash 3-in-1 where they use the slot-1's memory for the GBA roms, etc. "Its own memory" means a slot-2 that has its own memory from external cards or internal flash memory.
EDIT5: This thread is not for "where to buy flashcart?" questions. This topic has a very complete list of flashcart resellers and is for all "where to buy?" questions.
