Hacking Tried to buy R4 B9S flashcard for N2DS Xl from 3ds-flashcard.com, is this a legit site?

It been two days. I already sent payment and no response not even an email or anything to confrim the order. Im starting to feel Ive been jipped. Is there another site that is more safer to buy from? Perfer it ships in usa first.

Should have gone with R4i Gold 3DS Plus instead, it has a switch to switch between ntrboot and DS mode. R4i-B9S is just a regular R4I-SDHC (not the best cart to begin with) that's preloaded with ntrboot and costs more.

I believe the site is legit though. I seem to remember other people ordering from there successfully.

Chinese new year is still going for a couple more days, so most likely they are on holiday.

Ah that makes sense. I didnt know chinese new year was going on. Ill be patient.

Well theres this B9S flasher that should change the cart back to an NDS cart but reguardless I wasnt planning on playing NDS games, just 3DS games.

The flasher is found here, http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/down/b9s/B9S flasher V2.0.zip
I dont know if it works or no though.

It should work, but a R4i-SDHC card would have been cheaper and do exactly the same thing.
There are lots of great DS games, and you can fit a lot of them on a 8 or 16GB card, so it's a good idea to make full use of the cart

I tried to buy from that same web site this week and it doesn't let me pay with my debit card. I have bought through the site before with no issue. I get a purchase error when submitting payment. I get a reply in my email asking me to sign up and buy through a site called selly.gg that they claim is there site. It sends fake information of an item to purchase(Think it was like a graphic skin for a device) Has anyone encountered this? Is this legit? I never went through this step before when I purchased from them?

I have purchased from their new site mod3dscard, the new one looks good with Https, and don't worry, according to what I know, they are currently not supporting VISA, so you get an payment error. Also I puchased the sx os license from their selly.gg link, it works well at leaast for me.
The selly should with web service related description, but it's for payment to their product, that's my understanding, hope it can help you.

Thank you for the clarification,

It looks odd thou. The first email I got listed the sx ox license even though I had tried to purchase a stargate card. When I tried a second time to purchase the stargate card I got a similar email for the same sx ox license(again which I did not add to my basket)! I finally emailed them asking why It wasn't excepting my debit card(VISA). They sent me a different(3rd) link that the agent claimed was the item I was trying to purchase. They also went on to state that it will coast a bit more for processing fees. All this seems sketchy.

Ignore the selly os link, that is for customers like me who want to get sx os via paypal with quicky delivery from them, I remember they had a discord server, if you have some doubt, you can join there to talk to them directly, oh, I found the link for you https://discord.gg/4hgvJY8.

The processing fee I know too, o n their site , the sx os is 29.9, but on selly is 31.2, paypal fees. A little more higher, but I get what I want, so that's fine with me, they have voucher code to use, maybe you can ask the seller to give you.

Did you go through with the purchase and if so, did you get what you paid for?

Like you did, I'm getting kind of a bad vibe from these guys after a similar experience with inexplicably failed credit card payments, followed up shortly by badly worded autogenerated emails about contacting them about completing the transaction and SXOS licenses.

I understand flashcards can sometimes require, let's say, "delicate", transactional methods, but at the same time I'd rather not get ripped off if it can be helped or having my CC info caught in a phishing net.

Anyone else who's dealt with them, feel free to chime in also.

I’ve ordered several things over the years from them without issue. I recommend using PayPal as it is generally the easiest. Sometimes banks will block your card from going through overseas mostly due to it being not your normal location or etc.

No I didn't go through with it. First because they keep sending the "wrong" link for something that I do not put in the shopping cart(wrong price also). Second because they "sell" you something that isn't the item as described. I didn't want to buy it and not get my item.
