nds-card.com used to be the site endorsed by GBATemp, probably still is even if now quiet about it. They are hosted in China but the seller is pretty much the only legit/non-shady seller of DS Flashcarts and other things that I can think of. Bought 2 flashcarts from the dude and got every single one of them eventually.

While I'm at it they don't sell the R4i Gold 3DS RTS anymore, there is a new version called the R4i Gold +, which in reality is the same cart but with a switch for built in ntrboot if you wanna hack your 3DS.

Course I would honestly recommend the AceKard 2i over the others, it has the most compatibility with homebrew from my testing and has the same compatibility of the R4i (If you use AKAIO).

i personally didn't want to buy from a china based seller, going through modchipsdirect instead since they ship from the US.
i bought an R4i Gold + from them and received it pretty quickly, that being said i've seen people say some bad things about the site as well.

my card also didn't come with the packaging that i've seen it come with, but that part didn't bother me personally.

You can buy them on eBay, I got my r4i 3ds upgrade for $3 usd (great deal too since it's ntrboot compatible), though the prices have went up a little (they're like $8 USD now)

Only thing is I believe r4isdhc.com carts have timebombs and are just dstt clones (mine is, even moonshell lists it as dstt and even uses dstt dldi) and with mine uses a custom r4.dat for firmwares, it's not compatible with normal firmware, only ysmenu which is fine though no r4wood, if it uses _ds_menu.dat you should be okay, that's probably why they were selling mine for $3 including shipping

Same card, it's r4isdhc.com, they're all mostly the same, other than the kernel differences and timebomb, you can use apachethunder dstt stage two card loader, woodr4 or ysmenu to remove the timebomb, plus all r4isdhc.com are ntrboot compatible except very old ones, so they can be reflashed to boot and install BS9 (I prefer bootstrap9) if needed

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
