I already have two super card ds2, but they are eating battery like crazy.
How the R4i gold rts? is it slim like the blue gw card?
The r4i-b9s is almost like super card ds2, hard to insert.
It fits pretty well. It has a little bit of catch, but its nothing like the DS2's ♫you-can-check-in-but-you-can-never-leave♫ feature.

The R4i-SDHC card is fine in term of inserting/ejecting from the 3DS, i don't know about battery consumption because I've never used it on my 3DS (I was almost forget I had it until I heard about NTRBoot :P)
The Gateway Blue card is good in size and consumption that's why I use it for the few NDS games i still wanna play.

Ok guys, apparently the new ak2i_ntrcardhax_flasher will work with my card, but it says I wont be able to restore its ability to play nds games without a backup. So are there any backups for the r4i-sdhc 1.4.2(not sure if the 1.4.2 part matters) from r4i-sdhc.com? The game it appears as on the menu is Alex Rider Stormbreaker.

Unless someone with the same cart (stock) and an already modded o3ds/n3ds can use ntrboot_flasher and take a backup of the cart? then you could write it back after a successful ntrboot flash using ntrboot_flasher and the backup sent to you? (not without risk though, of course?)

I don't know if the card works with the flasher. It's officially only for r4i 3ds RTS cards by r4i-sdhc.com.

Is the cart itself working? It appears you have contact issues. Wipe the contacts and reinsert the cart, then try again.

Here again:

Is it possible to convert a flashcard "r4isdhc.com" to "r4i-sdhc.com"?

Reason: r4isdhc.com has timebomb but r4i-sdhc.com no!

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
