    I have an r4ds, but i just bought a dsi recently and wanted a flashcart to work with it. I DO NOT want to get a clone, i have heard so many stories about r4clones that turn out badly. Is there any good website to buy an r4i (preferably that can support slot 2, sdhc, and version 1.4) I'm okay with spending a little over average if the r4i is not a clone, supports sdhc, has slot 2 already programed in, and is compatible with version 1.4. if you know any site where i can buy one please tell me (respond to this thread, or pm me)

    Can the Acekard2i use slot 2, is it compatible with all games, is it compatible with 1.4, does it support sdhc? And how easy is it to set up, and how easily can it be broken? (sorry for all the questions, im just tryin to find a good flashcart)

    Acekard is a pretty good card for the DS and the one that I have says that its compatible with DSi. Not sure if that's true though. It just says it on the label.

    the Acekard2i looks pretty good, but two questions:
    1) Does it have slot 2 compatibility (can it play gba roms on the dsi)
    2) Are there any known problems with the acekard (certain games not working, the cart breaking/malfunctioning, etc.)

    Do you know how long it will be before a mod reads this?

    I was hoping one of them could verify what setup you need to play GBA on the DSI.They dont like people PM'ing them as they are busy doing other things-or maybe its just me they dont like PM'ing them LOL

    I've been on deal extreme, but the problem is they have a lot of r4 clones there :(

    just go for acekard 2.i, it works on ALL ds models.

    That super card dsi or whatever isn't finished yet.



    And don't go for r4...just no.

    Everyone that sells R4 cards will sell clones as the original ones haven't been made for a long time so would be out of stock EVERYWHERE by now. Their Acekards are the real deal from everything I have read and seen.

    So the Acekard 2i is going to be the best? can it play gba games? and i havnt searched it up yet, so do you guys know if the acekard is compatible with 1.4?

    just got an Acekard 2i, use the AKAIO 1.5 firmware. will do everything you need. not sure about GBA roms, but does absolutely everything else with stability.

    P.S. I have a DSi with the 1.4 upgrade and this works. Make sure to get the Danny Phantom update for it though.

    No DSi carts can play GBA roms at this time (except iplayer, which apparently doesnt play NDS roms very well)

    The R4i redant (clone) can play GBA games, but i dont want a clone, i heard of problems with some ds roms with it.
