Hacking What are your thoughts about the iEDGE? Should i get it?

[zzz92]

I'm a new dsi xl user and i'm seeking for a flastcart. i've seen many reviews and all but because of all the clones in the industry i'm finding it hard to make a decision. iEDGE is a card that seems to fit my needs, but i would like to know how do you all feel about the card. i hope you guys can help.

P.S. i basically use the card for playing offical games that's about all, but i do want a quality card with a good support.

You might want to pass on that cart and get an Acekard 2i instead.

the iedge is just a cheap version of the cycloDS

I'll let you know when I receive mine.

tbh, I've always found the interface on the edge very nice and quick, so I decided to grab one for my new DSi XL as well.

I have many other flash carts including the supercard ds two and acekard 2i, but I'm put off by how tight the ds two fits into the slot (due to the large actel chip) and the build quality of the acecards (2 of mine died due to the micro sd slot not being able to recognise the micro sd cards anymore)

The iEDGE is not really recommended, as there are 2 much better flashcarts now:
Acekard 2i: Good compatibility,
Supercard DSTWO: Perfect compatibility. It doesn't require any update to run all latest games and those that will be released.
The DSTWO can play GBA games and has much, much more extra features than any other flashcart to date, except the CycloDS iEvolution, which has DSi compatibility, but it isn't that stable as of now.

if you've used an EDGE flash cart for the original DS series, then the iEDGE will function exactly the same.

after receiving the item, you simply need to run the bootstrap updater (the iEDGE ships unflash for legal reasons) and then power it up and let the update do its thing (a built-in led in the iEDGE will display its progress by blinking faster and faster until it stops, indicating that the cart's firmware bootstrap has successfully been updated).

after that, you simply download and copy the iEDGE files from EDGE-DS.CN and as seen below, the menu system looks identical to what you've known and loved about the original EDGE cart.

unlike the original EDGE cart, the iEDGE does not auto-launch, but instead appears as the japanese DS title, Shikakui Atama wo Maruku Suru - DS Joushiki Nanmon no Shou

Thx very much Sausage Head! But i'm not getting the DStwo, I'm getting the iEDGE and the Acekard 2i, for build quality and support!

[ found a nice price for both carts!, just replying to say thanks and hope that this helped other people make their choice as well! sorry that it's not an answer! ]
