My friend just bought a new DSi, as a present for my nephew, i've only used a dstt card for a ds lite,
never messed with the DSi, what cart would you recommend?
the dstt card is really easy to use, just drag and drop
i would like one like that if possible.
thanks

 

For a nephew? So I'm assuming just a little youngling right? You should invest in the Acekard 2i. It's very easy to use. Drag and drop. It runs all the newest games, it's cheap. It's the perfect card for a young child who just wants to play games and doesn't care much about anything else. It does homebrew as well.

It's $15.00 at ShopTemp.

I have a DSi XL and the Acekard is the best thing I ever used for it. You MIGHT have to do the paper trick if your Acekard has contact issues. It's a 50/50 it will/won't. But there's tutorials for that on here

 

Every cart nowadays is drag and drop.


You have two choices for carts that have proper support/updates.
[*]Acekard 2i

• Price: $16 from shoptemp.com
• Rank: Mid-range card for people that want to play lots of games on a DSi/XL with some extra features.

[*]Supercard DSTwo

• Price: $35 from shoptemp.com
• Rank: Pretty much the ultimate card right now.

• DS / DS Lite
  The card will work on an original (fat) DS or a DS Lite.
• DSi / DSi XL
  The card will work on a DSi or DSi XL as well.
• Game Updates
  Firmware updates are what let cards play newer games, these are the life-blood of the card.
• SDHC
  SDHC refers to SD cards larger than 2GB (gigabytes). If there's no SDHC support, you can only use SD cards up to 2GB.
• AP Bypass
  The DSTwo has special features to ignore AP in most games, letting you play them without having to wait for a firmware update first.
• RTS
  The Real-Time Save (Save State) function lets you save and reload your game progress at any moment you wish.
• In-Game Guide
  You can pull up text files and images in-game, in order to check a walkthrough or map you downloaded at any time during a game.
• Slow Motion
  The card lets you slow down the game speed as you wish.
• In-Game Cheats
  The card lets you create and modify cheats while the game is running.
• Special Homebrew
  The card has multiple pieces of special homebrew, such as it's own GBA and SNES emulators, as well as text/PDF reader and video player.
• Battery Life
  Unfortunately the DSTwo's extra CPU and RAM (which give it the special features) eat into the battery life a bit.

Supercard DSTwo

 

it doesn't count because it's not an offical feature

 

DSTWO +1

 

Supercard DSTwo, it's got AP bypass with it's "clean mode"... though you can update your cheats wirelessly with the acekard 2i.

 

Oh another point worth mentioning.

If u update ur DSi firmware before ur AK2i and ur AK2i stop workings u need a DS lite to be able to update ur firmware as otherwise its impossible because u need to boot the cart to update.

The SCDS2 can always be updated because the CPU allows it to read the update info from the MicroSD card directly just before the Cart boots.

So if u only have a DSi i would go SCDS2 as otherwise u might need access to a DS lite to update firmware on ur AK2i in some situation (like u update accidently or ur newly bought DSi firmware version is to recent at purchase).

 

How many people have two DSi's though ? DSLite and DSi is more likely but two DSis ...
