Well, I lost my R4 III, and since I might be needing to buy another one, I might as well get one that's better then the R4.

So pretty much I need one that can:

Load AR Cheats
Wifi
Nintendo Wii to DS Connectivity
Media files work
Most importantly play games without any problems

EASY TO USE.

Sorry if this topic has been done to death, as I am new to this forum.

Most flash card should not have any problem with wifi

however, from what i heard cycloDS got the best Wii to DS connectivity

Media? as long the flash card supports moonshell or other means than is cool~! m3real + sakura is the best

well if you want one that can connect to wii then you have to get cyclods or G6 Real but otherwise i would highly recommend M3 DS Real Perfect Bundle version especially because of the sakura firmware im loving it

or is it just color?

Well, the DSTT does everything you've listed above. I've had it for a couple of months now and I'm completely satisfied with it. Sadly, I can't say the same about the DSTTi, mainly because I've never used it and also because quite a few people have been having problems with it. The DSTT's obviously better than any of the R4s mainly because of numerous legal issues and update problems they're facing these days. Then again, if you have more money to spend then a lot of people suggest going for the CycloDS. It's apparently the best Flash Cart out there.

CycloDS is a solid card but overprice and lately the team haven't been updating their firmware

i think the black one is the older version
the new one should be white (i just got mine last week)

DSTT? well i will say stay away from it
smile.gif
it is a decent card but the team haven't been updating their firmware so such a long time! infact they are interested in the battle of clone wars

for me my DS is for GAMING! so ak2 should be the best choice

After going through a EZF-Advance to a G6lite to a R4 (clone) to a iTouch DS. The card that I've been most satisifed with so far is the iTouch, I'll likely get an iTouch2 when I eventually get a DSI (if I ever get one)

It says on the CycloDS page, that it can Play GBA Roms?
Without the expansion pack?

Also thank you for all your opinons and feedback, greatly appreciated.

I think you need a slot-2 card like the EZFlash 3-in-1 Plus Expansion pack to be able to play GBA ROMs on Cyclo. Been saving up to buy one for my Cyclo, in fact.

As for the flashcart Q, go with Cyclo

So far it has not let me down, and I think the little extra to pay for is worth it.

Thanks for the reply.

The only thing keeping me from Buying Cyclo is the cheat support.

Which seems a litle odd because I couldn't find a cheat editor.

There is a cheat editor, but you won't actually need it, because you can use Narin's Cheat Database.
You can find the cheat editor here, but it's a program with other features as well.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
