Hacking Where to buy older Cyclo DS card?

[Bobbarooskie]

Hi all I;ve been away from the scene for awhile. I need to buy my wife a Cyclods card for her ds lite.
Can anyone recommend a good place where I can buy the older Cyclo evolution card that worked only for the ds lites? The one that only used Microsdhc memory cards.

Check these shops

Also, I would suggest you get a different flashcart such as an Acekard 2i or a Supercard DSTWO instead of a CycloDS.

No get the cyclods the Supercard dstwo is a piece of crap and hardly ever gets updates well for the gba side anyways where the cyclo runs gba pefectly.

What the hell are you talking about?

The DSTWO is a great device with a number of great features such as GBA and SNES emulation and a number of things. It also doesn't need constant updates. The CycloDS is overpriced considering other flashcarts that are cheaper have more features and are updates more often.

Look at the below chart and this guide for more info

The Supercard DSTwo rarely gets updates because it doesn't need them! That's how good the games compatibility is!
Granted the GBA emulation isn't perfect but the CycloDS can't even do GBA by itself, it NEEDS and EZ Flash 3in1 for perfect GBA games.

But yeah, the Supercard DSTwo is a much better purchase than the CycloDS, it has better features, performs a lot better, and is even cheaper.

Besides, since he has to buy a 3in1 anyway to play GBA games perfectly, he should as well get a DSTwo and a 3in1 for near perfect GBA and perfect NDS compatibility.

Does the DS2 officially support the 3-in-1 like the CycloDS does? Or at least does the 3-in-1 work just as well with the DS2?

Weird comparison chart, the DSTWO supports SDHC.

It works with GBA ExpLoader.

It works with GBA ExpLoader.

So if you have a DS2 and a 3-in-1, is it better to use the 3-in-1 with all GBA games or just ones that don't work properly on the DS2 itself?

edit: I don't actually own a DS2 or I would test it myself, but I've been thinking about getting one to replace my CycloDS

Well, if you think that the DSTwo doesn't emulate the GBA games you want to play well enough, you should play them on the 3in1.
But the downside with the 3in1 is that if the battery inside it runs dry, you will start losing your save files with no warning whatsoever.

On the other hand, the cart makes a backup of the save every time it's loaded. If the save isn't backed up, it'll be obvious quite soon that the battery is nearing the end of its life cycle. Personally I've got to say that the 3in1 is superior for GBA than the DS2 if you use a DS/DSL. On the DSi/XL it's a good option, but not a must (compatibility isn't 100%, anyone who has tried it can say so.. It's still emulation). Also the CPU usage with the DSTwo shortens the battery life of the console quite a bit, which should be kept in mind when thinking of playing GBA..

I wish it worked like that.
I've had some save files (notably Yoshi's Island) getting deleted randomly, even though my Slot-1 backed up the save files each time.
