SO you would recommend AceKard2 over EZFlash V+? I want the one with best compatibilities, functions (Saves, etc..) How does the features of the Acekard 2 compare to the EZFlash V+? Thanks for quick responses.
Thanks for the reply. I don't mean having to go to the site to download a software. I mean, is there anything where I dont have to run the roms through a patcher or software of some sort? I already have one of the first SuperCard SDs with a SuperKey and I hate having to run games through the patcher and fiddle around with different settings for the save types and enabling reset and all that stuff, only to find out the game doesnt work. And then having to go back to the software and try another combination of settings to see if that got the game working.PharaohsVizier said:Ummmm for RuneEDGE's question, I believe that you are asking if you can skip the step of going and downloading the software from the site... Almost all flash carts requires the initial setup, and believe me when I say most of them are easier than you think. Quite literally you go to the website and download a file and drag it into your memory card. It shouldn't be something you want to avoid, it is no harder than getting a game file off the net and dragging it into your memory card.
Well, they are both very good flashcarts! EZFlash is a brand that has been out there for years. Probably the oldest one that still manufactures and updates! The AceKard is new to the flashcart business but is a very good brand still.luan87us said:So what do you think I should get? Now I can't make up my mind between the EZFlash V+ and the AceKard 2i. THey are both same price, I can't find teh AceKard 2 anywhere (All sold out T.T).
All flashcarts can play NES/SNES games properly. As they all use a homebrew emulator to load the games. Go with the AceKard 2i if you want the cheapest price with decent enough features and very good compatibility.Baardmeester said:Use? NES/SNES/etc emulation and testing some nds games before buying
Price Range? under 50 euro's
Slot 1/2? slot 1
Built in or expandable memory? I prefer expandable micro sdhc
Special features? Best for emulating retro platforms
Any flashcarts you are looking at in particular Cyclo DS and Edge, but other recommendations are of course welcome
Other? The flashcart build quality is at least decent. I prefer it doesn't stick out(a little bit doesn't matter) and that inserting it in the ds is like a normal nds cartridge(no weird noises or inserting is feeling weird like i heard in some youtube reviews).
Support slot-2 GBA? don't care
Support slot-2 rumble packs? don't care
Support slot-2 RAM (web browser)? don't care
The main reason I got interested in the ds flashcarts is the ability to emulate my NES/SNES/etc games for on the go. ie what is the best flashcart for playing NES/SNES/etc games on the ds? Do they all preform the same and have the same platforms available?
thanks in advance
PharaohsVizier said:Lol, no one reads the comparison, even I can't get through the whole thing, it's too long, but that's exactly the kind of detail it needed for those pesky users that ask about evveeerrryyyytttthhhhiiinnnggg
I have no idea where to buy this, since I am not a Australian resident. But, you should go for a CycloDS Evolution. It has all the features you want and more. The M3 Real has RTS, but not In-Game Guide. I would just recommend the Cyclo DS for all the features. Only thing is the pricey-nsss of it.anger2headshot said:Use? NDS games incl homebrew, music, videos, the occasional retail slot 2 game
Price Range? Not too expensive, but if the features I want push up the price, so be it.
Slot 1/2? 1
Built in or expandable memory? MicroSD, SDHC support doesn't matter
Special features? Skin support, maybe RTS, maybe in-game text reader, cheats
Any flashcarts you are looking at in particular CycloDS, M3 Sakura, M3 Real, EDGE, AceKard
Other? Most if not all R4 features at least would be great.
For all slot-1's (ignore if you want a slot-2):
Support slot-2 GBA? Retail
Support slot-2 rumble packs? Sure, why not
Support slot-2 RAM (web browser)? Sure, why not
Unless a firmware update breaks it.Echo said:If you want the cheapest thing possible, then go for the AceKard 2i. Just in case you ever get a DSi, you know that this will be compatible.
Yep no problem. And a place you can get it is at DealExtreme in case you are wondering where....anger2headshot said:Unless a firmware update breaks it.Echo said:If you want the cheapest thing possible, then go for the AceKard 2i.

Anyway, thanks for the information...
A new flashcart... Slot-1 for sure.Tempus35 said:Hello, I am looking for a new cart, the older slot 2 I have is not working very well anymore.
So I am looking for a slot-1 device that works very well, has great compatibility, updated a lot. Has support for cheats. $50 or under.
Echo said:My favorite thread to post in ^^
Hopefully, one day they should create FlashCart Guru or something for one of the categories! I would want to be part of that for sure ^^

you are going for $50 and under. You are from USA judging from the flag on your user. So I guess you have a few choices:
- Cyclo DS Evolution
- AceKard 2i
- M3 Real
- EZ-Flash V Plus
Well, I need to know a few things first to be more detailed:
Do you want to be able to play GBA games as well?
Would you want to use the NDS Browser?
Just those two.
======
The CycloDS Evolution is the top of the line flashcart. It's the most expensive but has many features such as Real Time Save (Save anywhere during game), In Game Cheats (Enable-Disable cheats during game), In-Game Guide (Read a txt based file during game) and more! It supports SDHC, and I am sure many people can support you if you have any problems while using it.
You can read more about it in the guide. I can't be in more depth then that xDD
The AceKard2i is a simple flashcart. You just load games and then BAM! Simple as that. GUI is very easy to use, so that means it is very user friendly. It doesn't have extra features like the CycloDS but it is still well worth your money if you want the basic features. It is much cheaper than the CycloDS, but you won't have all the features of the CycloDS. It is also compatible with the DSi.
The M3 Real is a middle class flash cart. Not too expensive and not too cheap. It can allow you to use the M3 Sakura, and you can also have Real Time Save. It is still a new feature though, so don't expect it to be the best as I think it's still in the Beta stage. It is more expensive then the AceKard 2i but cheaper than the CycloDS.
The EZ-Flash V Plus is also compatible with the DSi. But only some versions of it are. Some still have the old one out, some sites have the new one out. It has basic features as well, but loads roms a little slower than the other choices. It has many freebies though, which I would appreciate. Slightly more expensive then the AceKard 2i though.
Where to buy:
CycloDS: DealWoot They sell the CycloDS for $47.99. Cheapest out there. Based in USA and very trustworthy.
AceKard 2i: DealExtreme Sell the AceKard 2i for $19.50. Cheapest out there, but just takes some time to ship. Also has free shipping. Based in HongKong. Trustable.
M3 Real: DealExtreme DealExtreme again. Sell the M3 Real for $28.43. Same thing that I said about the AceKard 2i. Cheapest out there from what I see.
EZ-Flash V Plus: DealExtreme Once again DealExtreme. Sell the EZ-Flash for $18.99. Cheapest out there!
One more thing, all these flashcarts support SDHC. So that shouldn't be a problem. Also have Auto-DLDI patching as well.
luan87us said:So does AceKard 2i compatible with EZFlash 3in1 slot 2? I think i'm going to order it and the EZflash 3in1 from DE cuz it's almost as half as cheap as dealwoot >.< any other site for AceKard 2i or even AK2 for somewhere around $20 but faster shipping than DE? And if I'm not wrong all these card require a slot 2 expansion pack to play GBA right?
dark_matter said:Use? Games in general, videos, read text files (ebooks) but mainly games.
Price Range? cheap as possible under $30?
Slot 1/2? 1[ /b]
Built in or expandable memory? Doesn't matter really, expandable perhaps.
Special features? custom themes... In game save state?
Any flashcarts you are looking at in particular? Don't know. Popular is cyclo, but it is more than I'm willing to pay right now.
Other? Just want one that will play games clean and simple without problems with as little much input from me as possible.
For all slot-1's (ignore if you want a slot-2):
Support slot-2 GBA? don't care...
Support slot-2 rumble packs? no
Support slot-2 RAM (web browser)? not really
I bought an EZFlash for the gba years ago and it still works for me if that means anything.
