Best Flash Card?

Hey Guys. I have an NDS Lite that I hardly ever use, and have an R4DS flash card for it, but after just a few months the R4 has stopped working completely. I didn't really care about it, up until recently, whereas my twin is having to face a lengthy hospital stay; the DS has been a godsend to him. Problem is, since the R4 doesn't work anymore and the only DS game I have is Pokemon Diamond, he's pretty much stuck with GBA games for the time being. I don't know if this is the same story for every flash card, being generally unreliable, because I don't really follow DS homebrew or hacks, but I'd really apprecaite it if someone could link me to a good flash card. Prefrably one that's quite large (1gb or more) and somewhere around

M3 Real with English Sakura firmware is my favorite that I have used, but it doesn't have as good as homebrew support as the regular M3 Real firmware.

The GUI in Sakura is just so pleasant and easy to use once you set it up.

Cyclo-DS by far, it has the most features. I don't have one myself, as I bought an R4 before it came out, but that's the cart I'd get now.

I've had my R4 for 2 years and it still works. I've never really had issues playing all the games I've wanted to either.

I don't think they make R4's anymore though. I'd probably get myself a Cyclo-DS when I get a job though and give my GF the R4.

I been putting off getting a flash card for years after the DSi came out I thought be it pointless to get one seeing as I just need a flash card for the dsi as well.....But just got around to buying a r4 today... It was only 15 bucks and really dident see the need to pay for $47.99 for a Cyclo-DS.There just not that much different..

Hot damn that's cheap. Free shipping to boot? I wish I had the ability to purchase things from the internet anymore.

The Acekard 2i is only $18 and works on the DSi and original and lite.
DealExtreme: $18.70 Acekard 2i AK2i Multimedia SDHC TF Cart for DSi/NDSi/DS Lite


It's the one I might go with for future proof reasons

+1 for CycloDS. Great feature range and a great UI to boot.

I +1 The Cyclo as well, it had everything i was looking for, perfect 8GB-16GB MicroSDHC Support. Moonshell Support, and the new firmware has great GBA support and an awesome text reader built ingame, worked wonders for me when i replayed Chrono Trigger, helped me get through all the additions. So i would say, if your looking to load a shit ton of games and not worry about storage, the Cyclo is the way to go, ive had it for 4 months and i use it extensively in this house, me, and my 2 little bros use it all the time, from his old DS to my DS Lite. But if your looking for DSi support from the cyclo, i think your going to have to wait. And oh yeah, the cyclo gets plenty of firmware updates. I bought it with 1.41 and got GBA and Text Reader support a month later with 1.5

Indeed, i normally carry over 200 games, but honestly, ive played about 5-6 for more than 5 minutes. The rest are for proof of concept, because a lot of people tell me "I smell bullshit" when i tell them of these things.
