Hacking The "Which flashcart to get?" Info Thread

[mrbm1234]

I just bought a ds lite which card should I get?

I have the Acekard2i for my DSi

thanks

 

[severed]

hello! and thanks for reading

i am getting a DSi XL soon and have been researching flashcarts. I have used the CycloDS flashcart in my now broken DSlite with EZFlash-3in1 (for slot2)... i really liked the CycloDS menu system and also, there support forums but they seem to be fading out now

...However my primary concern with the DSi is the ability to play GBA and also homebrew. I see popularity in the Acekard2i and, the DSTwo claims to be better for GBA and Snes emulation... but the DSTwo also says that it takes away battery life and has problems fitting into the DSi?? are these major concerns?


so basically, is the Acekard2i the best for DSi XL or is something else better for GBA and other emulation. thanks for the help, cant wait to see those huge handheld screens playing all my oldskool favorites

also, is there any concern for compatibility?? i cant wait to play Golden Sun again! thanks again

the only flashcart that allows you to play gba roms in a DSi is the supercard DStwo, you won't able to play gba with acekard2i

so i advise you to buy the DStwo

if you are looking for a shop to deal with read my signature

but attention the emulator of dstwo doesn't have the same compatibility as the slot 2 devices, all emulators have some issues with a few games but it's the only solution to play gba roms in a DSi/XL/LL

Hey.
After I get pissed of Team Cyclops I want to buy a new Flashcard for an DSL.
I cant decide, which flashcard I should get.

Acecard or DSTwo?
GBA Emulator would be very nice ...
Did I need a special SDHC Card to play games with AP? (or can I use SanDisk?)

Acekard2i is the cheaper option which can play gba games through a slot-2 device like the ez-flash 3-1 (note that the 3-1 doesn't operate like emulation.)
the dstwo does emulate the gba and snes and comes with all the bells and whisles lke movie player with out conversion. AP detection and a clean mode incase games don't work.
and no, the SD card type doesn't affect the AP bypass. a normal sd card works fine.

 

[JackyJack]

oô

AP bypass has ac2i?
And they say, that the speed of the sd card affects if some games work (for example Golden Sun)

 

[ThePowerOutage]

You do need a reasonably fast SD card though.

yeh, any good brands will do, as long as it is not fake

 

[JackyJack]

I already have a Class 2 SanDisk 4GB Micro SDHC ...

Does this work with AC2i and AP-Bypass?

Acekard2 - if you want GBA emulation the Acekard2 requires an additional Slot-2 flashcart (EZ3in1) for DSLite only... if you have DSi then you can not get GBA emulation with Acekard2 because you need a Slot2 cart for GBA... if you dont have a DSi and do not plan on getting one, then there are many flashcarts that work with the EZ3in1 for Slot2, which is the best way to get GBA besides the DStwo

DSTwo - has GBA emulation built in which is great for DSi(no need for Slot2 device) but compatibility is not perfect like with the 3in1, Golden Sun 1 should play fine but Golden Sun Lost Age will be laggy or have bad frame rate. im not too sure about the compatibility with other games but from what i hear most are more then 90% perfect... DStwo also has better homebrew and emulation compatibility compared to most other carts

SD card types may make lag worse but SanDisk is said to be one of the best so you should have no problem there


future carts may see better emulation like the Cyclo iEvo, but for now the DStwo is recommended for DSi, and Acekard2 for DSLite
good luck with your choice

should i buy this SD Card?

 

[Pyrate02]

I like Transcend Class 6 the best out of all the micro sd card brands. I have never had any problems with them.

 

[mcr619619]

can r4 can play new games?? im sorry but i can't back read right now...please tell me...tnx!

 

[Skiller23]

with Wood R4 yeah, excellent compatibility

 

[ShadowFyre]

if any of you are gettin the supercard dstwo, go for the GBAtemp version...too bad i'm dirt poor.

Which flashcart is great for the Dsi? I'm going to go with the SCDSTWO, as it kills less battery than my M3i (yeah, I was shocked too). I also heard some good news about the iSmart, but which one plays the GBA? The MM, right?

I'm not really surprised, M3i is simply the worst DSi card ever made.

GBA --> iSmart MM.

But I'd rather buy a DSTwo than a MM. And I'm really not a friend of fancy CPU-cards.

 

[777kidis777]

Okay, a DSTWO it is! Thank you for also clearing up which iSmart plays GBA games as well.
