    Your excused from my office. I don't want to see you in here again for going off topic on that forum of yours.



    From now on, on topic. If you have a valid thing to say, go ahead. If you don't, go here and post 'till your hearts content.

    Let's be on topic. I've been searching for sites that sell it for cheap. Most sites have insane shipping cost...
    R4i Gold Best site I found: http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=149
    Acekard 2i Best site I found: http://www.v2watch.com/best-choice-acekard-2i-ak2i-ak-2i-3ds-for-ds-dsl-dsi-xl-and-3ds-console-p-7836.html http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=160

    My last question before I buy. Since both are about the same price, which one(R4i Gold or Acekard 2i) is overall better? When I mean better I mean which has more useful feature, last longer, plays latest games fast, and more likely to be updated in future. Also if you think one of the sites is bad to buy from please tell me. :) Thanks

    All your other things are the same for both flashcards. This is the picky one.
    The Acekard is most likely to be updated more in the future. All R4's have died over the years, Acekard's first flashcard is still updated regularly.

    So, if you were to choose a card based on future updates, the Acekard 2i is the way to go.

    Ok, thanks! Going for Acekard 2i. Do you think http://www.v2watch.com/best-choice-acekard-2i-ak2i-ak-2i-3ds-for-ds-dsl-dsi-xl-and-3ds-console-p-7836.html is a good site to buy Acekard 2i? Is it the cheapest site I seen for the pass 30 minutes.

    Hmm, that is a pretty good price. But before you buy, make sure it is listed as an official re seller on then Acekard website.

    It not an official release, but I saw the reviews on ShopTemp, many people rate it good, fast. Most people write bad review because they stopped Paypal and they thought it would be a scam. Should I give it a try?

    ALWAYS use Paypal. Never not use it.
    If you don't, and it doesn't work or doesn't arrive, you don't get your money back.

    Thanks for the info. I'll make sure to use Paypal when buying Flashcart.

    The best R4 to0 get is the R4 original, dont ever buy any other as the rest are rip-offs and bad ones.
    The R4 original is fully compactible with YSMenu and is about 2$ from shoptemp.
    I still would say to get an Supercard DSone as its about $20 at shoptemp and its as far as i know the most handy flashcard ever. and it runs pokemon block just fine.

    You can buy an original r4 card for under $10. Cheap and great with wood.
