Hacking Should I get an Acekard 2i?

[crazyace2011]

ok we could go back and forth I end it here to each their own.

understand. but why support a company that gave up on the users that own the card. that did update their ds and the card no longer works for them they had to move on to another card. so why support a card that doesn't care gets any support anymore. at least the r4i 3ds still gets support and people there to stand behind the card. that's just my opinion.

Well if I chose to buy an Acekard and I was pleased with my purchase, then the Acekard team did their job. I don't know why they stopped supporting the Acekard exactly, but I can't imagine that selling these carts is that lucrative.

I guess the tech support team couldn't figure out how to update the card to support the latest firmwares.

I would like to point out that I do appreciate your opinion, which is what I was after. I planned on doing some more research into other flash carts before making a purchase. I just wanted to know what other people thought and which carts deserved more attention and focus from me.

I will end with a promise that, having owned basically every Nintendo DS flash cartridge from this generation, that none of them can even hold a candle to the DSTwo.

Duly noted. Thank you for your input.

don't get me wrong I own the dstwo card also. I love the feature of having emulators to play other systems off it. but I play more ds games than the other emulators. I would say about 2 or 3% I would play a emulator and the rest would be ds. I agree the tech support and keeping the card alive is one of the best features going also. what I don't really like is how the chip sticks out a little making it hand up in the system a little bit but you can get use to it. I run the imenu on it and its a lot better than the default setup it comes with. which imenu isn't a easy thing to setup it can be tricky. but whatever card you go with you should be fine.

So it seems realhotstuff.com has been suggested twice as a retailer. I was also looking at DS Shop. I noticed it was one of the resellers on Acekards web page. Does anybody know if they are good with other carts? I know it is based in Texas, which is a couple states over for me. So that would also work for me.

RealHotStuff has been around for like seven or eight years (before I even started out here) and they've proven very reliable. And they're in Jersey!

Jersey ain't too bad, other than the guido's. I kid. I had heard of them before and I seen them as a trusted seller on Acekards and R4s pages.

DS Shop on the other hand... never heard of it. Link me the shop?

Ah! They're nice folk! I actually like working with them. They're not bad, but the only downside is they are China based. The website says they're from the states, but that's not exactly true. RealHotStuff is one of the very very few actual US resellers.

Really? So where it says that I could expect my card in five days from them is a lie?

Take those quotes with a grain of salt. Unless you order expedited, but the cost of upgrading to expedited will be more than plenty to secure a DSTwo. Ordering out of China is about two to three weeks, maybe longer with the fact that the holiday gifts still might be going out.

Well that is good to know then.

If you need help with resellers give me a shout. I'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction. But for now, RealHotStuff.

Anyone else you would suggest? I looked at RealHotStuff and it seems they are out of the Acekard. I am tempted to get one of each type and try them all for myself and see what works and what I like.

I'd recommend NDS-card.com, but again, Chinese. The resellers in the US (that are actually legit!) are very very few.

Yeah, I have found this out the hard way. It really is most unfortunate. At least with Chinese retailers, prices are cheap.
