What DS and Flashcart ?

I'm planning to buy a Nintendo DS and so I would like to hear your opinions :)What kind of DS and Flashcart do you recommend me to get ?
I'm looking for one that is easy to play games and homebrew and not too troublesome to use, I'm new to the DS world ::)Though what I will get in the end depends on what available on the store, your opinions is highly appreciated :)

Well.The Acekard 2i of course. :)Easy to use, highly dependable, and works on almost all of the games available.If you use AKAIO of course. ;D

I really recommend you get DS Phat.
I have a DS Phat and dropped it heaps of time and it still works really well.
If Acekard 2i works on DS Phat then you should get that card.

Acekard 2i eh ?
I'll make sure to look for those.Thanks :)

Tough bastards aren;t they-those shellsa take more than the dslites...it's always the right hinge that breaks first when dropped ::)

Replying to #5

So hYpNoS, should I get a DS Phat or Lite ?

I bought a DS Lite and Acekard 2.1 and it is great :D. Acekard 2i Only works with DSi. I dont know how fragile the Lite is compared to Phat, i have dropped mine once and it didnt break. I think the Phat looks ugly though.

So Acekard 2i only available to DSi eh ?I'm planning to get either a Phat or a Lite one.Maybe I'll try Acekard 2.1.

They dont even make that phat any more. Even if you could find one you wouldnt want it, its big and ugly. Acekard is a good card, so is cylclo evoution ds. I would get either of those cards. But what ever you do, dont buy anything with r4 in the name.

I don't mind the size or wether is ugly, as long as it can play games ::)But I mostly see people sells the Lite one, so I guess that's my target.So no R4 card ?

Firstly, there is some 20 versions of it and they all have problems. I was asking about cards not 3 months ago and i did a lot of research and i settled on cyclo ds evo. It costs the most (40$) but its well worth it. Its very well supported and you dont want to skimp on anything when its a once time purchase.

Good info :)Okay, I'll try avoiding it, though what I will really buy depends on what available in the store.
Thanks :)

But the ds phat would be cheaper...second hand of course.

Black Nintendo DSi
Acekard 2i AKAIO 1.5.1
Works extremely well :)

If NA do get the DSi XL, go with that and the Acekard i with AKAIO frimware. You should also play Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver with the Kazowar English patch.

id recommend a cyclods because it gets regularly updated and is very compatible with most games but the acekard 2i is also a great one

DS Lite and SuperCard DS One. Everything works fine, gets updates quite often, sometimes it runs games with antipiracy protection without any patches. And it looks nice ::) Awesome.

I have a DSi and a R4i card, I'm giving the card to my friend and getting the upgraded R4i so I can get my 1.4 firmware and still play.I get my Flashcart
