Don't get the R4 if i were you and you knew that the acekard wouldn't work for you look into the M3i0

 

just find a pre 1.4 updated acekard

 

Any idea where I can find one?,I tried ebay but it looks like the one on there wasn't up graded. Would I be able to upgrade the Acekard to 1.4 from a DS lite (not a DSi).

 

Guess thats my only choice. I'll have to find somebody locally that has a DS lite i can use and just upgrade the card from there. So back to one my original questions. What is a good site to purchase a Acekard 2i?

 

Thanks, I'll check out RealHotStuff. Also what is the big deal with R4i. Besides it not being good and sucking. Does it just have less support than acekard? Or it just because it's a Chinese knock offs?

 

There are several dozen carts, all named R4i. It's the most well-known flashcart name, so clone-makers keep abusing it's prior reputation. People advise against them for several reasons: can be difficult to determine which firmware you need, can be difficult to determine what kind of cart (DSTT, Acekard, etc) it's a clone of, several of them are just plain poor quality, most are poorly supported if even supported at all, and so on and so on. Avoiding anything named "R4" will just make things easier on you, and if you eventually need help with it, buying a legit brand cart (like Acekard 2i) will make it far easier for us to help you. Many R4 carts do function as advertised, but it's best to avoid them to prevent headaches down the road.

 

Get the M3 Zero for your DSi. You won't have to worry about your DSi firmwares since it updates it self with that USB thing. Plus Sakura is pretty good if you turn off RTS and Softreset if you do that than you have 100% compatibility. With RTS and Soft-reset on you will have 90% compatibility.

EDIT: I would have recommend the Acekard though if I wasn't pissed off on it right now. Whenever I touch the Acekard 2i the game I am playing freezes and I always like to touch the flashcart and push it down a little idk why.

 

yeah i'm thinking of picking up both Acekard 2i and the M3i0. Is there really any major difference between the two? They all pretty seem to do all the same thing.

 

M3i Zero is more about GUI where the AK2i is more about playing games.

 

I just looked that up. It looks nice.. I'll probably just buy it when it comes out... whenever that is. I just picked up the Acekard 2i. Should be here in 2 to 3 days =). Hopefully all will work out.
