Hi,

I have a 3dsxl with latest firmware.

I just want to play some nds games on my 3ds and i want to know which one is best value for money?

I mean you both play the nds games, i don't want emulators or other homebrew just nds games.

I just found out that the new r4i gold supports directly the latest firmware.

So far the DSTwo is the ONLY cart that has not needed a new hardware model in order to run on the DSi/3DS's latest firmware updates. This is partially because it reads some of the required boot data from the MicroSD, and partially because it can boot and update itself even after blocked most of the time (though this should not be relied on as the primary update form).

Other flash cart makers are aware of these techniques, they just choose not to use them because it makes the cart more expensive.

1 more question about the already ap patched games on supercard dstwo. Do they work ?

Thanks Rydian.

Off to order a dstwo from http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=135

    @SylverReZ, 1) except final fantasy 16. 2) why would I have a console's whole catalogue if most of the games are either shovelware or terrible games?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Kind of a waste, but the allure of all those games over 100,000

    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest

    Cruisn on the Wii is one of my personal examples of that, it's considered one of the worst games of all time, I loved it and completed it several times.

    The trick for me was to go into the settings and crank up the Wiimote sensitivity to the max and it gets twitchy but you can win that way lol

    Lots of other games I enjoyed that reviews would say otherwise lol
