Hacking Post your questions about which flashcart to buy

[raylgo]

Thank you Slowking. Man the Ak2's price really cant be beat... I just checked it out on dealextreme...

 

[jeffro]

Use? Games, Homebrew, Music
Price Range? Since I am also going to get myself a touchscreen replacement my max budget would be around 40 euro
Slot 1/2? Both xD
Built in or expandable memory? MicroSDHC
GBA compatibility? Sure
Special features? I currently have a M3 Simply with R4YSauto and I want just everything to work (Prepared to do upgrades and stuff). I also want good homebrew compatibility,
Any flashcarts you are looking at in particular I checked the M3DS Real but I am still uncertain what to get.

I also saw something like if you pay more then 50$ you can pay later on paypal?

I am also planning to get a new SDHC Card preferably with lots of space

So recommend me something ;o

Since you only want basic basic features: Acekard2 from Dealextreme
If you want GBA-games you'll have to get an EZ 3 in 1 with it.

You can try RealHotStuff as an alternative. They are the only resellers that I know that sell the EZ-Flash 3-in-1 Expansion Pack for the Phat.

DX also sells them for phat, they are just sold out at the moment. EZ had to switch to another memory chip, since the old ones aren't produced anymore. The switch probably resulted in a stock shortage...

You might end up a little disappointed with DX, some of their suppliers are on chinese new year holidays and you won't get some of your products for a while. Did you order them separately?

 

[xrM]

Would the 3in1 be the best option for adding rumble to a DSTT/AK2? Don't need gba functions or anything, just plain rumble for nds games

 

[ShAdOwFuRi]

No, don't get the 3 in 1 just for rumble.

1. You'll be paying alot more for the features you don't want
2. The rumble sucks, it's really loud and annoying

Try this, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2953. It's alot cheaper, and has just the rumble feature that you're looking for. I don't really know much about the product itself or its compatibility, but it seems suited to your needs, you'll probably need to look into it a bit more.

I ordered them in 1 batch.

Dam, I'm sorry to say this, but you're going to be waiting for a while

 

[Rabbits_Galore]

When you say waiting for a while, do you mean waiting for awhile on the suppliers? Cause I ordered mine a few days ago and it's already been shipped. =3

What I ordered :

World's Smallest MicroSD TransFlash USB 2.0 Mini Card Reader
$1.19

Kingston MicroSD TransFlash 2GB Memory Card (JAPAN)
$5.20

Acekard 2i AK2i Multimedia SDHC TF Cart for DSi/NDSi/DS Lite
$19.40


Which was a real dumb ass move because I think I could've gotten a better adapter if I looked harder, and a better price for Acekard if I had just waited.

Exactly, you should have ordered the Acekard 2 separately so that your whole order wouldn't be delayed just because of the Acekard 2.

wao :C Well, I guess it's okay.. Knowing me, if the MicroSD came faster, I might've lost it the moment I got it.. since there's no where to put it... xD

You won't have that problem as the AK2i is shipped in 1-3 days.

I just made a change in my order

Changed my regular AK2 into a AK2i. Don't mind the 8 dollars extra. Means I'm prepared for the feature

 

[Rabbits_Galore]

loll, I can't tell them apart to save my life. I"m just winging the orders. Get whatever looks right. Thus the crappy looking adapter 8Db
