Even if the flashcard teams could have the current DSi flashcards fixed to work on the 3DS, why would they?
New bootstrap = free = no profit from being able to sell new flashcards, unless they're feeling really charitable.
Unless it's a more pricey flashcart (and thus less commonly owned than say AceKards or R4s) like the DSTWO or the iEvo. If either of those cards worked through an update, but the AceKard couldn't, I'd buy either of them right that second. And I'm sure many others would join me in that.

BREAKING NEWS: We don't know if DSi flashcarts will work on the 3DS! But we can exclusively reveal that when someone tries one on a 3DS they will find out!
Come on, this has to be the biggest piece of non-news to ever make the front page.
Umm no. If you actually read the first post, you'd see that clearly, some kinda way, GBAtemp staff or friends thereof have tried older flashcarts on the 3DS.

We have already established that, unsurprisingly, old DS-only flash carts (e.g. Acekard 2.1, CycloDS Evolution, R4 DS...) that were not DSi compatible, aren't 3DS compatible either.
