Hacking R4i-SDHC 3DS working for all DS versions?

[kumpandjill]

I'm getting ready to order a bunch of these from nds-card.com.

Here's the link to the card: http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=146

I just wanted to be 100% sure that these cards will work with every version of the DS that's currently out.. so all firmware versions of the 3DS, DSi, etc. Sorry if I sound dumb, but I just want to be absolutely sure.

Thanks for the help!

Also, if I order a 10 pack (http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=378) it will give me the updated version, correct? The picture shows something different than the page where you order only a single card, but it links to the correct one.

Don't buy that one. It's a shit clone, they purposely refuse to update their existing carts and just put out new ones so people have to keep re-buying them.

If it's not here, don't buy it.

Okay, I see the R4i Gold is in that sticky... would this be a good place to order it?

It's a little over $15 on nds-card.com but less than $10 here. I'm ordering 15-20 so the savings adds up...

If that site updates them before sending them out, then yeah. They mention the latest updates so it looks like it's new stock, at least.

Take note that the sites with the cheaper prices often are physically in China, and thus have much slower shipping speeds. 2-3 weeks of waiting is not uncommon. I had a good 3-4 weeks once.

And even if they don't, I can update the cards myself, right? I've got a DS Lite on hand

Yes, the original DS and Lite do not have firmware updates that block modern flash carts, so they're always a solid fallback for updating.
