Which Card?
We get e-mails often asking about what the differences between the cards are, as well as what people mean by 'fake' cards and 'bricking' DS consoles. This page is permanently on the NDS-Gear website in the hope that it will inform our customers and the public about the different DS cards on offer as well as the situation with regards to 'real' and 'fake' cards.
R4 SDHCThe R4 SDHC is a modified version of the R4v2. All its functions are very similar to the R4v2 except with one crucial difference: It is able to accept Micro-SDHC cards and can take up to 32GB of memory. Although slightly slower than the R4v2, the bootup time for the R4 SDHC is still pretty fast. It is not the 'original' R4 adapter, but is made by some of the same development team.
Compatibility: DS and DS Lite (Not DSi)
DSTTThe DSTT is effectively a slightly less efficient but just-as compatible version of the R4v2. You will notice slightly slower loading times, but compatibility is still good on the card and NDS-Gear are able to offer picture perfect support. The DSTT has a list-format user interface, making it ideal for playing homebrew applications/games only without multitasking. It is also able to take up to 32GB of memory.
Compatibility: DS and DS Lite (Not DSi)
EZFlash ViIf you own a Nintendo DSi, the EZFlash Vi card is the one for you (unless splashing out on the top of the range M3i Zero, of course). There are several Nintendo DSi compatible cards out on the market, but the most reliable to date is the EZFlash Vi which also has the fewest problems with new games. The software written for it is simply the best available at present - and it's backwards compatible with both the Nintendo DS Lite and the Nintendo DS!
Compatibility: DS, DS Lite, and DSi (Compatible with all three!)
R4i SDHCR4i SDHC was the first Compatible DSi card for the R4 brand. Originally did not work in 1.4-compatible DSi consoles but new iteration of card is completely compatible, and promises to be a very good, but cheap DSi option!
Compatibility: DS, DS Lite, and DSi (Compatible with all 3!)
Acekard 2iAcekard 2i is the first DSi card and widely considered to be one of the best DSi cards on the market. As the Acekard software is open source, it has many unique features that are only available on the Acekard 2i. The Acekard 2i is also one of the only DS/DSi card with dual memory capability, meaning it can use a micro SD/SDHC as a memory and also has internal NAND memory.
Compatibility: DS, DS Lite, and DSi (Compatible with all 3!)
M3i ZeroThe M3i Zero is the card the longest coming, and most anticipated. The reason for this is simple - the M3 team typically make the most sturdy cards with the best software, usually at an extremely high cost (but completely worth it!). However, the reduction in price of DSi cards towards the end of 2009 means the M3i Zero can finally grace our shelves! Take advantage of the best DSi card on the planet while you can!
Compatibility: DS, DS Lite, and DSi (Compatible with all three!) With the above said, however, since every card you can buy on NDS-Gear is individually tested prior to sending, there is no worry regardless of which card you buy - simply compare your options and decide what you'd like! :-) Please contact us if you require any further assistance.
iEDGEThe iEDGE is the long awaited replacement of the legendary EDGE DS, which was the most stable and reliable DS / DS Lite card ever to be released. With new Nintendo DSi / DSi XL / DSi LL support, the iEDGE comes in an incredibly robust casing which makes it incredibly sturdy. The iEDGE is also the only DS / DSi card that comes in a specialty box, a triangular shape. This makes the iEDGE especially attractive, especially as a gift.
Compatibility: DS, DS Lite, and DSi (Compatible with all 3!)
All the best,
