Reviving my Original Ace3DS

[haddad]

I got an Ace 3DS Flashcart, anyone know if I can used this to play 3DS Games? Trying to find working firmware, but cant find on the web

Without CFW, whats the best flashcart to play DS & 3DS games on the 3DS? or do I need CFW?

You need CFW to play 3DS games you haven't legally bought. Follow https://3ds.hacks.guide/ to get CFW running, and tell me your email (or twitter/tumblr) so I can help you with the "playing games" part.

with CFW and Luma3DS can I do the following?

Play 3DS Games
Play NDS Games
Play GBA Games?
Play Homebrew?

Also i know that 3ds is little diff then DSi, so you need a .cia file, then u launch it inside of FBI, and it adds to ur homescreen?

Yes to all four.

A CIA file is the installation file. You install it to the system using FBI or something like it, and then it's installed to the system. You can delete the CIA file from your SD card after that.

Yes, CFW allows you to do all of that. As for installing games..

To install a game through FBI using a .cia file from the SD card:
1. Open FBI
2. Select "SD"
3. Navigate to where the .cia is on your SD card
4. Select it, then select "install CIA"

Are there no current flashcards out there that can play 3ds,nds,gba games without CFW? Like we can on the DSi?

There are, but they are not recommended for various reasons.

Installing Luma3DS is highly recommended.

I can't in good conscience recommend a 3DS flashcart, since they're shit compared to CFW. It would be idiotic to use one. You're only going to make things harder on yourself, especially for online play, and it will all be with a deprecated experience. That doesn't even take into account the cost of the flashcart vs. free CFW. You also have many times more features with CFW, like homebrew, GBA games, DS games, emulators, etc.

3DS flashcarts pretty much aren't supported anymore, and many can't even be used with newer system versions and newer games. Don't do it.

If you want to use a DS flashcart for DS games, that's fine, but you probably don't need one.

Yes.
