Ok, but I am trying to get a solid answer from the OP. I am happy you are trying to help, but for these aren't solid answers.probably made new ones but without an sd card slot to make em cheaper

Exactly it's basically not a flash cartwhat a shit of "flascard".

It is. It is a card and it probably contains flash memory.Exactly it's basically not a flash cart

You are right but it's not a proper "ds flashcart" as it does not play games. They called them "ds flash carts" because they had an sd slot and could play gamesIt is. It is a card and it probably contains flash memory.
I do greatly appreciate the enthusiasm, so don't take this personally.OK sorry
nah I don't take anything personally on the internet so don't worryI do greatly appreciate the enthusiasm, so don't take this personally.
I just kind of waited since they announced this to see if they kept the microSD slot. If they have the microSD slot that would speak volumes about this team.
It would be interesting to dump the card and see if they simply used https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s0s42cypvpqv18r/AADy_bSUOFdfF3dSPxFq3hhla?dl=0.
Yes, it does have an SD card slot. You can see pictures of the cart here:I do greatly appreciate the enthusiasm, so don't take this personally.

That's all I wanted to know, thank you!Yes, it does have an SD card slot. You can see pictures of the cart here:

It would be worse if they removed the SD slot because with the SD card slot included you can just restore a flash image to be able to play DS games.That's all I wanted to know, thank you!
Now I can officially call this cart and the team behind a piece of shit.
so is that basically just confermation that it is just another cart that has been flashed? So does that mean that if we had a backup of the flash of whatever cart this is a clone of we can make this be a real ds flashcart?That's all I wanted to know, thank you!

Yup, we just need ntrboot_flasher to support it.so is that basically just confermation that it is just another cart that has been flashed? So does that mean that if we had a backup of the flash of whatever cart this is a clone of we can make this be a real ds flashcart?
As true as that is, it does show that they spent little to no time working on this cart. If they were aiming to have a single purpose cart, then there's no reason to have a microSD card slot. It just shows that instead of either making the cart work like the ak2i or releasing their own patch for their carts, they literally just flashed a few of their carts to make a quick buck. I know it's all about money, but they could have put more effort into ripping people off.It would be worse if they removed the SD slot because with the SD card slot included you can just restore a flash image to be able to play DS games.
I think that you can't write to the flash chip from the DS. That's why there is no ntrboot_flasher support. You have to unsolder the chip and write to it via hardware (which you can see in the image in the dropbox).Yup, we just need ntrboot_flasher to support it.
The market probably isn't big enough. These cards have to be mass manufactured in order to be competetive.As true as that is, it does show that they spent little to no time working on this cart.

Basically this just reaffirms my previous statement that the cart is a complete ripoff.
I mean, they could have just kept the same cart and blocked the microSD card slot with some plastic. I know it's just as lazy, but at least it gives the illusion of effort.The market probably isn't big enough. These cards have to be mass manufactured in order to be competetive.
It has an "official" updater. You have to use their "kernel" to update the cart's flash.I think that you can't write to the flash chip from the DS. That's why there is no ntrboot_flasher support.

Are you sure that there are firmware updates avaible for the latest hardware version?It has an "official" updater. You have to use their "kernel" to update the cart's flash.
Probably cheaper to waste 10 cents for each card ("waste", it's not like they're rare or not getting back 5x of the cost) than retool a factory for what after all is a side productthen there's no reason to have a microSD card slot
This is one of those rare moments where I just want to be mad about this. I see that microSD slot and it's like, "Why?" It's like having a USB port on your toaster.Probably cheaper to waste 10 cents for each card ("waste", it's not like they're rare or not getting back 5x of the cost) than retool a factory for what after all is a side product
