Sorry i have to ruin the 1337nes, but i have a request.
Use? Plays DS and GBA is a must. Might use a little bit of internet and other types of games too. NES and SNES capability would also be awesome
Price Range? i don't care
Slot 1/2? i don't care
Built in or expandable memory? expandable would be nice
Special features? NES and SNES support, and be able to download online games onto it. Custom interface would be cool too
Any flashcarts you are looking at in particular I've heard Cyclo DS is good, and friend has an r4, but i don't know much about these things, so i don't care.
Other?i'm new to this thing so it would be nice to have something user friendly, but i have tech friends that can help me too if there is not one that is user friendly that would better suit me.
I would also want an all in one, i would prefer not to have to buy 1 for ds games and another for gba games.
For all slot-1's (ignore if you want a slot-2):
Support slot-2 GBA? YES
Support slot-2 rumble packs? Does not matter
Support slot-2 RAM (web browser)? Perfer, but not a must
For slot-2's (ignore if you want a slot-1): expansion pack or its own memory? i don't know
Like Shadow has said, the AceKard 2 and EZ-Flash go out for a great price and very good functionallity. The GUI is very clean and simple, while the skins our their are very nice! I own the AceKard 2 and EZ-Flash 3-in-1, and it's worth the money you pay for!
Unless you want extra features such as Slow-Mo or Real Time Save, then go with the CycloDS and EZ-Flash 3-in-1. GUI is also clean and simple, many skins our there. The only problem is that they sell the Cyclo-DS for a much more higher price compared to the AceKard. If you are low on budget, go with the AceKard 2 + EZ- Flash 3-in-1. If you want the top of the line, then go with the CycloDS.

Which flash card has the best support?
I mean which one is updated the most often by the developers.
Everyone seems to like CycloDS but they haven't released a new update for the Evolution in like a year, whereas Acekard has been releasing updates regularly and more recently.
Also has anyone compiled a list of which flash cards GBATemp has given "gold" award to? So far it seems like they've given it to CycloDS, AceKard, EDGE and G6DS Real (which I can't even find anymore).
My druthers right now are to save a few bucks and go with the Acekard, but I'd like the CycloDS for the anytime save feature.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Well, the AceKard 2 has been updated multiple times. So you should have the best compatibility with the latest roms. Whereas the CycloDS does not get as frequent updates as the AceKard 2. The awards, for me, I don't really pay attention too. I just look for compatibility and price.

Also I've read on here some talk about difference in battery life for some of the flash cards...which flash card has best battery life? I generally play at lowest brightness.
