    Supercard DSTWO and CycloDS are both good.

    If I'm remembering right, I bought my Cyclo from Dealextreme.com.

    EDGE is better than all of the other flash cards but not as good as DSTWO

    DSTWO anyday of the week.

    It may be slightly more expensive than the other Flashcarts, but it's not rivaled by any Flashcart in the market at the moment. It has perfect support for every DS game. It played Pokemon Ranger 3 and the new Final Fantasy games with no issues at all.

    DSTWO is highly supported by its developers and gets regular updates too.

    Oh, and did I mention it also has GBA/SNES emulation support?

    It isn't going to be released until next March, and even then, DS games will continued to be released for awhile after.

    Doesn't anyone care about AK anymore?

    Acekard is a great Flashcart. Acekard 2i to be exact. Real easy to use, almost works with 100% of rom releases, and the team does well in updating firmware, official and unofficial!

    Re: might get a new flashcart

    Acekard is a dying cart. Since Normmatt has a stick a mile long stuck in his ass, the betas are very exclusive leaving the average user MONTHS without a firmware update. Sorry, but that's just too freaking long.

    I can't actively recommend any Acekard anymore over other carts, and am strongly considering removing it from the consideration list for new flash carts in my thread.

    Re: might get a new flashcart

    Acekard's main drawback is Normmatt's stinginess when it comes to firmware, and other than that, there seems to be no other losses for AK users. I think I'll stick to this cart for the next 6 months 'til the 3DS comes out. And I'm sure, not completely but still pretty confident, that AKAIO will be updated at least a couple more times 'til then. :)

    A good choice if not the best for pocket pinchers, since the DSTWO is quite pricey and the AK2i, from what I know, is the best cart in its price range. TS should at least give Acekard a look.

    My experience with acekard 2i has been nothing but sour. I might even go as far as saying I would have preferred to buy an r4 over my ak2i. Thank god I have a DSTWO on the way. Being able to trade pokes between my soulsilver and platinum will be the only thing keeping me from smashing the ak2i with a sledge hammer.

    i only have 25 dollars because my friend offered me it for my current ttds so i'm probably going to go with the acekard 2i
    thanks for your ideas

    You are exactly right. The 2.1 simply lacks DSi support, otherwise the two carts are exactly the same.
