    Hey guys I have an R4 Ultra. I loved it until some games would not work. So I was looking for a new card that will have 0 problems. I want frequent updates when there are problems. I want it to have 100% compatibility rate. So the 2 cards I am looking at are the Acekard 2i and the CYCLODS. I want to know from the users of this cards which one is better, or will be better in the feature. I have a NDSL and don't plan on getting a dsi. Thanks for the help. :)

    Acekard 2i is currently one of the best flash carts on the market.

    Do they have fw updates a lot and can it play all games?

    It can play all of the games available so far.

    And they usually have updates on the firmware only when necessary.

    They have loaders which have the AP and stuff for the games instead of in the firmware.

    AKAIO is the best firmware out there bar none, so if the fact it is unofficial is putting you off, well....

    http://realhotstuff.com/ is a trusted seller of acekards.

    Even though it's an "unofficial" firmware.

    It is still the best that has ever been made thus far.

    It works on the original DS, DS lite, DSi, and the DSi XL (Which I'm getting in 2 weeks!!).

    Updates yes. :)

    Here you are.

    Firmware - http://normmatt.com/forum/download/file.php?id=68

    Loaders - http://akaio.gbatemp.net/nloaders/

    Loaders go in the /_aio/loaders folder.

    For when you get it of course. ;)

    As long as you keep it updated and use the current firmware it will be. :)

    What are loaders? Do you need to use different ones for different games?
     
  20. ace1o1

    Nope.

    Loaders are things that do stuff that makes the flashcart work. ??? I'm pulling this out of my ass...
    They just make it work. That's all that I know. :p

    Just update them and they load every game that you can imagine. :)
