Hacking What card to buy

[Speed Freak]

Noobs: Stop recommending the R4, the topic creator clearly doesn't want one.

And get an Acekard 2, I heard the bad batches are all gone.

In that case, I got a bad one. Had a R4 for almost a year and had problems with ONE game so far (which I don't recall, btw). Then I gave it to my sister and got an AK2. It worked for about a month and a half and now it freezes everytime in the Nintendo screen.

Now I decided to give Edge a try, so let's see if it's good in about a month, cause I ordered it yesterday. Well, call me noob if you want, but for my personal experience, I'd go with a R4 over an AK2. I'd rather play most old games than no games at all.

Yes, that's understandable, but you can't generalize that..
It's like saying that some crappy old car is better than new broken Ferrari, it is, because it drives, but that doesn't mean that all old crappy cars are better than Ferraries..It was a bad luck that you got bad batch, it doesn't change the fact that AK2 IS better than R4..

That is 100% true. This issue is like resolved now. Even if it stops working, get it REPLACED.
R4 is garbage. Well, now it is.

Good point. But since I live in Brazil and bought my card from dealextreme, I assumed that it would take me more time and money to ask for a replacement than getting a new card. This is why I got an Edge (and can't hardly wait for it to arrive, since I don't have any game...)

You shoud've asked them first, just to make sure.
