I have a DS lite using an Acekard 2.

I am wanting to get a 3 in 1 plus for the browser and GBA games ( I don't care about the rumble ).

Are there any compatibility issues I should consider? Also, where's a good place to get one with quick shipping? I bought my AK2 from Dealwoot.com but their site seems to be gone.

Thanks.

yes the 3in1+ has issues all around. you should buy the older 3in1. you can still get it from realhotstuff.com.

I have a AK2i and a 3in1+ for 2 years and I had any problems running GBA.

What are the problems you encounter or know about?

AFIIK, at the time of it's release, one issue was the rumble pack didn't function with AK2i and other flashcarts. I have never had a NDS, flashcart, 3 in 1, etc, so I'm not sure about these things, but apparently there was also issues with soft-reset functionality, whatever that is (lol i'm a noooooob XD), and you could get an error message saying the 3 in 1 pack is not present, and I don't know what else was wrong. However, it did run GBA games the same as it's predecessor.

My rumble works great with all the games I tested it, even the AKAIO has it's own rumble option (low,med,hi), soft reset I don't know if it has or not I tried once the same button combination as the AKAIO (L+R+A+B+Down) and because that time didn't work I assumed that it hasn't soft-reset, that doesn't bother me at all.
The last one about the 3in1+ not present never happened to me, also the battery is still functional...

once you are in gba-mode you can't soft-reset back to ds-mode. a power cycle of the unit is required to get back to ds-mode.

rumble has been broken with homebrew for awhile. it was around 1.8.1-ish that it was broken. i don't think it was ever fixed, but to be honest i haven't tried it for the last few releases.

Does it say on the cartridge or package if it's the Plus version?

Edit: No, it doesn't. I found an informative thread thou. http://gbatemp.net/t130659-how-to-tell-whi...e-3in1-you-have

There is a version made, it seems, after the +. It is not the + and doesn't work with GBAExploader patched specifically for the +.

So, I'm wondering, is this 4th version like the predecessors to the +, without the issues that the + had/has?

Shit. The 4th version (EZ5C11) is the worst yet.

    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
