Its not so much just here its the whole fairly recent trend of being overly anal about forum categories that bothers me. Sure there is another more approriate category but it is also relevant enough to the R4 to be let go, especially to a new user. Not exactly very welcoming when all that happens is that they get moaned at for a very very small mistake.

@kingkevin: The EDGE will be fine for what you mentioned. NDS games are not region locked so Japanese games will run fine. Be aware though that most dont have an option to play in English.
 
Im use to being bitched out at forums. TRUST me, I post on several Britney Spears forums and they are NOT nice. Ive also been frequenting video game and emulation forums forever, so Im use to the way gamers act. I think the only forums where people are truely nice are doll forums. lol


Ill continue to post here. Hopefully my EDGE wont give me any issues.

It's not where this is posted the problem, it's the question. I'll edit this post everytime I find a link that answers this question from this forum.

Talk about a slam dunk! Well done...I would love to see spectral's blushing face right now.

Off-topic: gee, I hope kingkevin is actually a female going by what was said in latest post. Otherwise....its a "not that there's anything wrong with that" moment

What did I say? Its funny yall say "zomb powned" or whatever when Im rolling my eyes at how much of a loser psychoblastur is. Anyone to care THIS much about me asking a question and taking that much time to post all of those links, REALLY need to get a life and lighten up.

sorry, my "blushing" face was actually me laughing and rolling my eyes. No one was "ze oh me gawd powneeddd" here freaks.

With that attitude of yours, I'm not surprised you get bitched at every forum you visit.

On the topic, the Acekard had bad batches a while ago, but they released v2.1 a while ago. This version shouldn't break down after a few weeks, it's a redesign. And indded, you could have found that answer on this forum if you searched for "Acekard2 failure".


PS. Saying someone should get a life while you self visit Britney Spears forums is not nice

please stfu. I was bitched at FIRST on the 1st page. All I did was ask a question. Sure its been asked before, but I had OTHER things to say and to add to the discussion plus I had questions and I wanted answers for my specific criteria.

I researched for HOURS before I even asked a question, and then researched MORE after I asked. I came to the conclusion tha NO ONE should buy an acekard 2. They seem really bad. Edge seems to be the best and most popular in its price range. Im going on info not just from this forum, but other forums and even the websites that sell the devices themselves. Looking at the dates that most negative acekard 2 info was posted, I would say the bad batches are still rampid.

What's with your attitude?
As you can see, I've made the list because I was trying to make a point of how you really do not need to make a whole new thread asking for what card is better, because it has been answered SO MUCH TIME.
and you call me a loser because of that? you start to remind me of beve/hexane.
Users that have made this question have been flamed in the past threads, and there is no reason that you shouldn't be. I haven't flamed at you, but instead tried to prove to you why that last rule in my stickied thread exists.
Posts are sticked for a reason, it's in all caps for a reason, and it says "IMPORTANT" for a reason AND it says to read before you further ask a question about the R4. Your ignorance is what makes you the loser, not me. Please consider what is already here for you without needing to create a whole new topic in the thread where you will receive nothing but flames.
It's not a lie. about half of this thread is full of flame wars.

Please read ALL of the topics I have posted on the list. The "OTHER" things you needed are answered, too.
I have found that list in less than 5 minutes, and there should be no reason for you to take a whole hour. I didn't even use the search function.

I totally agree. Only if you really do listen to us and find out what we are trying to say, then you will become a great member.
If you ignore what we are trying to say, and try to struggle through our advices, you will only be flamed at. It's the truth.
 
see, i completely disagree with everything you said. I dont see ANYTHING wrong with the same question being asked over and over. Everyone who asks usually wants their own conversation about it to help THEM. They have specific questions and its easier. If it bothers you, or EVERYONE as you say, then simply dont reply. Or reply something like "I like the *****, try that" not be rude. Being rude is only going to cause what JUST happened. And saying "this gets asked all the time you moron n00b *der* *der*" is only wasting their time and my time reading it.

I even feel sorry for some people here (like thomasroberts http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=57937 )

Even WITH all the research I did, I still wanted to ask, and I saw quite a few "what card should I get" topics before I posted mine. It wasnt like Im oblivious to the R4 page having in excess of 100 pages almost.

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=107208&st=0

I offer opinions and ideas as to how to pick the right flash card for you.

If you need short answers, here it is:
* Don't get R4 (
frown.gif
). It was a legend. Currently there is no support.
* Don't go for DSTT (
frown.gif
). It's a very basic card with minimal features. The support isn't good either as far as I know.
* If you need something cheap (you are very sure you don't need the extra features), you may try EzFlash V Plus.
* Since you have a better choice (EzFlash V Plus
smile.gif
), don't go for Edge (
frown.gif
). It's basically similar to R4 (having similar features but it's supported currently). EzFlash V Plus is better than "Edge" (R4) and is supported too. The team is active and is keen on development. The team is actively adding more features to this card.
* If you don't mind paying a bit more, you will be able to get the top-notch card. I highly recommend Supercard DS One
smile.gif
- feature-rich, bundled with several VERY USEFUL features. You just don't know how much you need those features once you use it. Read my above link, Which flash cards / carts do you recommend buying? [Solution] for details
* CycloDS is also a top-notch card. But the problem is it isn't worth it. It's double the price of Supercard DS One. I don't see why you should get it when you can get about the same card at *half* the price!!

The EDGE is nothing like the R4. I replaced my R4 with an EDGE recently and it's vastly superior. The interface is completely different, the card works alot smoother and has more features (like built in EZ 3-in-1 support). It's more like a budget CycloDS then a R4. I'd definitely recommend it, although I don't know if it's better than the EZ V as I've never used one.

WOW. see, this is why im GLAD I asked my question. I want to thank both of you for your replies.
I actually baught an EDGE a few days ago. IT seems really popular and most everyone who has one, loves it. Group discussion is very important in selecting anyones first flashcard. I hope in the future, when the next person asks this question, we can just help them and not be hateful.

The thing is though is that if you had have posted in the general flashcart advice thread instead of in the R4 section you would have had alot more answers like that to begin with. Posting in the R4 forum generally gets you answers from R4 users, whereas the general thread has users of all different carts so they would have thrown their opinions in. I understand where you're coming from but it's like going to a Ford show and asking what the best car for you is if you see what I mean.

well you don't see anything wrong with your question because you are a noob here, like the others.
I'm not trying to call you a noob as an offensive term, but as a "beginner".
I see that you were not here for that long, and we find the same question being asked over and over quite annoying.
Why would you make a new topic asking the same question and waste space in GBAtemp's server while you could have just read another answer from a different thread?
Every word we post takes up space in the server, and it is very limited.



QUOTEWOW. see, this is why im GLAD I asked my question.
but the same answer is on another topic of the list I posted. I remember for sure about a user saying that the EDGE cart is very affordable.
Group discussion is very important in selecting anyones first flashcard.
all you need for a flashcart is the ability to play games. that's what they are for, and it's something you need to understand.
I hope in the future, when the next person asks this question, we can just help them and not be hateful.
This will never happen.
 
@kingkevin,
Well, I wasn't going to add anything to this riveting thread, but I couldn't resist

A couple of interesting observations from your posts (notwithstanding the statement that you frequent Britney Spears forums and dolls forums):
First, there was the OP
kingkevin said:
I just ordered a AceKard 2 tonight and after reading about how prone they are to breaking after a few days or weeks, I canceled my order. I see their are many to choose from but R4 seems to be the most popular. Why is R4 so popular? What is the best flashcard to get? Im super new at this. Thank!
Then, a mere 47 hours later (and after numerous argumentative posts & moments of total indecision), you advised this:QUOTE(kingkevin @ Oct 10 2008, 06:56 PM) I actually baught an EDGE a few days ago. IT seems really popular and most everyone who has one, loves it. Group discussion is very important in selecting anyones first flashcard. I hope in the future, when the next person asks this question, we can just help them and not be hateful.
Firstly, call me wacko, but "a few days ago" should put your timeframe of Edge purchase before, or at absolute least the same time as your original post
wacko.gif
There certainly seems to be contradiction in your posts. Secondly, your statement that "IT (Edge) seems really popular and most everyone who has one, loves it..." cannot be ascertained from this thread, which also proves that you found your answers as to which cart to buy in another thread....could it have been one of the one's psycoblaster linked you to?? hmmm
 
trollydave, I posted here because it had the most post out of the other topics

psycho, if your really SO worried about the space here, then stop posting useless post after me and just ignore people like me, a beginner here.

dark knight, i have no idea what your saying or talking about. lol
sorry.

Anyone know how long it takes for an average order to arrive from dealextreme with the free shipping? I have a long trip this weekend and I was hoping to get it before I leave, but now I dont think I will...
 
please read my username and learn how it's not spelled psycho.
I take that word offensively.

What would be better is for you to actually read a stickied post that actually TELLS YOU TO READ IT, because you'll find the answers of your questions on it.

if you researched just a bit harder for 1 more minute you might have found [email protected]. and then you might have been suprised by how kind the team is, how quickly they answer questions, and how honest they are about their flash kits.

@Bootsum: edge is a cyclo clone, not an r4 clone.
