    I had an r4, and well its beginning to age, no new firmware has been released for it in a while, and after the whole mario&luigi thing, I thought I'd replace it, it was a great investment, I've had it for quite a few years.

    Anyway, what's currently the best flash cart available, but also the cheapest.
    I saw that the Acekard is 30 bucks and the M3DS simply is 22, is there a difference, they'll both play all games right ?

    I'm not much of an expert, so I'd like some advice.

    Also this might be the wrong forum, but there are so many of them, I sometimes get confused what goes where.

    Because I ony,used oit-try acekard.

    Easy to use-easy to keep running-some games may not need patching-no fake versions-and kost of all-updated more often.

    But best wait for other's to give advice-I only know of the one brand's proformance.

    The M3 Simply is an R4 clone, so no point in bothering with that.

    The best choices are Cyclo/EDGE and Acekard 2/i. The Acekard is good quality for a fairly low price.

    There's a website called Dealextrme where you can one up for dead cheap.

    Now I have my eyes set on an Acekard 2, which I can get for like 18 euro's at its cheapest, which I consider a bargain.

    But the site also has Acekard 2 clones, which are only 9 bucks, what's the difference ? and does it work just as well because if so, I'll just take that.

    the cheapest there on dealextreme is thirteen USD so about ? Eur money. they are not clones cause I have an acekard from there, but it takes about a week or two to ship to Europe I guess.

    edge ds is a good flashcart, it's cheap and with good quality cuz it's some sort of a clone of cyclo ds. the edge team also updates its firmware upto now.
