I know there's been plenty of threads about "which DS flash cart is better" in the past, but I figured I'd make a new one, since is seems there is finally some easy to use products out there that have been very simplified and much more compatible. It looks like there's several products out there for DS flash carts that work entirely in the DS slot without needing anything in the GBA slot to boot it.
We've got:
DS-Xtreme ($124.95) Built in USB port, has internal non-removeable 4gb (512MB)
M3 DS Simply ($44.95) Uses MicroSD cards
SuperCard DS-ONE ($50) (takes microSD cards)
R4-($44.95) Takes Micro SD cards)
Ninja DS- bulky because it takes regular SD cards, but is slot 1-only.
Ninja Pass ($54.95)-Takes MicroSD
EZ Flash V ($49.95)- Takes Micro SD
Coming soon?:
AceKard-takes MicroSD cards
MicroNinja -takes MicroSD cards
Did I miss any?
And the magic question is always "OMG! like wich 1's the best?!11!" But seriously...it's hard to choose. Does any have a distinct advantage or disadvantage? Should I wait for something else?
If I'm not mistaken, 512 megabytes (4 gigabits) is the most the DS can recognize, right? Or is it 4 gigabytes (32Gigabits)? Which of the above carts will support the maximum?
And forgive me for what is probably a stupid question, but I noticed that some of these claim "supports clean roms." Wazzat? On top of that, I remember a year ago that most cards only played homebrew and a select few hacked roms. Do the above units play commercial roms (hacked, not hacked, whatever).
Also, I remember back when passme was needed, if you wanted to save your game, you needed to attach a game with the same size save file to the passme or whatever. Is this even an issue any more?
Way too many questions, I know, but like I said, I thought it was about time for a new thread on this.
