I’ve been ordering a lot and have a decent amount in my collection, so I’d figured why not I’d make a thread! I have the following:

Supercard DStwo
Original R4
R4 Ultra
R4i Gold
R4i SDHC
iTouch DS
EzFlash Parallel
CycloDS Evolution
M3i Zero
Ace3DS

I’m pretty sure I have others in my collection and got a lot of R4 clones. I will be posting pictures when I have a chance.

I ordered Acekard 2i, EDGE DS, and EX4i, and not a flash card but the DSvision, which was an official Nintendo product that used a microSD to play movies.

Is that for the Original Ace3DS (DSTTi clone) or the Plus model?

Somewhat in the order I bought them:
EFAII (ExtremeFlashAdvance II) (ancient GBA cart)
SC DSOne (original non-SDHC)
R4 (original)
CycloDS
EZflash IV Sold this one to a friend.
Acekard 2i Gave this one away.
EZflash 3-in-1
CycloDS iEvolution
SC DSTWO
Gateway 3DS (blue+red)
EZflash Jr (x2)
The list should be complete. For a while, I was upgrading whenever the new best thing came out, DS flashcarts were progressing fast, especially in the early days when we quickly went from PassMe devices to dedicated slot-1 flashcarts that were bigger than normal DS carts and stuck out of the slot, to the early normal sized cards like the DSOne (which was kind of a buggy piece of crap) and then the R4 which is when we finally had a truly good plug & play solution. And then everything after that was adding bonus features on top of what was already a solid base, like RTS, slow motion, cheat searching, and built in CPU.
I bought r4ids.cn R4i Golds for family members but never one for myself since I was so happy with the DSTWO.

The PCB was quite thin just like what a normal DS cartridge would be dimensions-wise. They couldn't be bothered to add epoxy resin around the PSRAM chip to hold it into place or make the board slightly thicker, as this would significantly improve the solder balls below the PSRAM from breaking. I think that this was a design flaw from the very beginning, and it seems like it was a common issue when it first sold as I've seen several videos and forum threads of people talking about it.

It is not just the clones that were affected, but also original carts too. Clones have a higher chance of the PSRAM to not function as intended. When I bought my DSONE SDHC from eBay (an original one), surprisingly it was in working order when I loaded Evolution OS. No crashes or glitches whatsoever.

There were two variations of the DSTWO from what I could find. There was the Original DSTWO with a blue PCB (SuperCard logo positioned on the left) and then you have the DSTWO with a green PCB (SuperCard logo centered) that is a DSTWO+.

It's possible that due to a manufacturing incident involving no DSTWO+ labels, or that it was near to release and that they wanted to put out the last batch of DSTWO cards, they opted to print out regular DSTWO labels, but centered the SuperCard logo to distinguish it from the originals.

Is this the exact R4iTT you've got, or is it just for reference? These cards with the 'r4itt' text silkscreen are DSTT(i) clones, ones without a screw that say "R4iTT 3DS RTS" on the label are Acekard BL2CK clones.

I took the top picture, I didnt take the bottom one although I do have that purple r4itt. I also recall one owning the original r4

Mine's the more later 3DS RTS 2014 variant that is an Acekard clone. I'm amazed that it still works on the latest stock System Menu, even though this firmware was targeted at V7.0.0, I thought Ninty might've blocked it by now.

@SylverReZ,

R4i-SDHC Upgrade V1.4 Limited Christmas Version (r4isdhc.com)...is that a DSTT Clone? I always wanted one.
Click to expand...
That is a clone of the Original R4SDHC clones, not a DSTT clone. The r4isdhc.com cards made during and after 2014 are DSTT(i) DEMON clones.

Nintendo didn't block any ds flashcarts since I think 7.1.0 and the last one they targeted was the dstwo. I think hat no other cart got blocked in the last update that blocked ds cards

Carts.jpg

This be the carts I own. Note all the "games" you see on the right side of the game case are N-Card clones disguised as bootleg games. I have converted them all back to normal N-Cards. :D

Oh also forgot to show the EZ Flash 3in1. That was currently in my DS Lite hence why it's not in the photo. :P

Original R4
R4i 3DS Gold Plus
Purple "Revolution for 3DS" cart (some sort of DSTT clone, I think)
And an old GBA EZ-Flash IV.

Used to have an EZ-Flash V, but was convinced to trade it away since it's not really usable in a GBA or GBA Player.

Never got much use out of the R4i 3DS Gold Plus, but it was cheap at the time and I figured it would come in handy sooner or later.
