I'm planning on getting a friend a flashcard. I got an R4 years back, but it seems they aren't updated anymore and antipiracy is a bit of a hassle to get around now. What card should I be looking for If I just want one for roms? (posting here instead of one of the flashcard boards for less biased opinion)
 
The Acekard 2i running on AKAIO (custom firmware made by Normmatt of GBAtemp) is a great option. He releases game fixes just as fast as the commercial teams, if not faster. Otherwise, any of the flashcarts that are recommended by people are viable.

but akaio is dead
 
The CycloDS has a "stealth mode" that supposedly bypasses any anti-piracy, but at the cost of not being able to use Real-time save, cheat codes, or any other features.
 
Whats Real-time save exactly? Is that like savestates or the regular method of saving in the game?

Source? If it was due to the hacking of AKAIO to work on other flashcarts then I still doubt he's abandoned AKAIO.

EDIT: Hmm, after seeing Normmatt's user title I'm not so sure. =\

Stop spreading false rumors. It was an april fools joke that got out of hand. If it is abandoned why was there an update made to akaio a few days ago?
 
Get a CycloDS Evolution. It's supported by the actual people that make the card, with official firmware updates every few weeks. It's also easy to use and you don't have to worry about putting any 3rd party firmware on there or anything, it just works on its own. Plus, all sort of cool features like the ingame menu and perfect GBA support if you get an EZ Flas 3in1.
