    I'm pretty sure that a topic has been made about this but i couldnt find it with the search bar.

    Where is the cheapest yet reliable place to buy an acekard 2i (since i heard that that was the best card for the dsi)
    I am swapping my ds lite for a dsi with someone. and i need a new card (r4 rendered useless)

    So, i am in need of a pretty cheap price. The cheapest yet reliable price was 24$.

    My request:
    Did i make a good choice swapping?
    Is Acekard 2i the best out? (you can also tell me what is a good and cheap card to get in case i dont get the Acekard)
    and finally, can anyone find a better price?

    it is a good place (i bought the r4 there) but the acekard is 24$ with free shipping and i think i can find a better price.
    so...anyone else?

    I purchased mine from realhotstuff.com

    24 dollars with free shipping, and they deliver to me about 3-4 days after I place the order. The extra cost was/is worth it. I'd buy from them again. (I bought my CycloDS and Acekard 2i from realhotstuff).

    That's probably the cheapest "reliable" place you can get from. I just did a test buy at taobaobao.com still waiting for my order but I don't expect it to be here until like saturday ish and its coming from china. its~13$ there. I'll post if I ever get it. I read posts online that people have bought there and it was better quality than DX so iunno. We'll wait and see I guess.

    Just an update, my package from taobaodao just arrived. I ordered last Tues and it arrived this Thurs so thats pretty fast shipping from all the way in hong kong. Only cost 13$. Their live support is amazing too btw... so I guess I can confirm they actually ship out their items.

    P.s. I just tested it now and it works. You just have to update it manually to 1.4 though even though the site says its 1.4 compatible but its no biggie since I have two systems anyway.

    Acekard doesn't ship 1.4 ready, because that would mean they would be selling copyrighted materials.

    Oh I see. I guess I was just mislead by the "for V 1.4" part lol and it just meant it was CAPABLE of use with 1.4.
