What flashcard for DSi XL??

**mattress** · 10th November 2010

Hi guys,

I am about to get the missus a DSi XL for Christmas but I'm unsure what flashcard to go for. I'm sure there are many different types available that may work with it but which one, in your opinions, is probably the best bet??

Cheers

I would recommend the Acekard 2.

ive got a Acekard in mine, remember the XL is exactly the same as the standard DSi for flashcard compatability.

So, most new games will work?

**choccy1** · 12th November 2010

Yes M8 they will.
Make sure you use the Akaio 1.8.1 firmware

Cheers Choccy, I'll make sure I do that.

Anyone had any experience with the Supercard DSTWO???

Stick with the Acekard mate. Nintendo have released 2 updates now that disable flashcards. The good thing about the Acekard is the card can be flashed so they will work on new Nintendo firmware

do you have to buy the acecard 2i or just use a standard acecard 2.
Getting a dsi xl and already have an acecard 2 so need to know if I need to buy a different version.. thanks.

supercard dstwo is a decent card too, the supercard team were around from the very beginning and still release updates for their very first generation of cards.

They're much more expensive but I bought one! I've read so much about them and how good they are supposed to be that couldn't resist. Also, bought a couple of Acekard 2is on Noobz's rec. Don't want to be sitting here on Chrismas morning with a couple of DSi XLs and not a game in sight.

Going slightly off topic! - I just found three old TTDS cards in my bedroom draw.

I updated them with the CNDSTT_v1.16_English official FW but the latest games wouldn't load.

Then I tried the Wood_R4_v1.17 FW and I couldn't even get to the menu screen.

Finally I tried the DSTTAdvance_v2.01a FW and had the same problems as the CNDSTT FW I tried fist - I suppose their for the same device.

So, are there any CFWs that can be used on these TTDS' or will they never play the latest games??

i was just looking into the same thing, i have a few TTDS in the drawer i was going to give to a friend but the firmware on em is ancient now.

Yeah, shame really but I suppose they only cost me about a fiver each and I've had my money's worth many times over. They still play slighly older games but anything from the past couple of months just won't work.

**mattress** · 19th November 2010

Just going back on topic again! Will the Acekard's AKAIO 1.8.0 FW work on the new Nintendo 1.4.1e FW which is pre-installed on the latest XLs?

909, Dibbler just played a blinder in another thread and pointed us in the direction of alternative FWs that will even run Toy Story 3. Here's the link and thanks again to Dibbler!

I'll report back when I figure out what the hell to do!

Too much info to digest for a technological simpleton like me. Anyway, I downloaded the latest unofficial FW for the TTDS/DSTT cart, Unofficial FW V1.18: http://filetrip.net/ajax.php?action=download&id=12547

It works fine but once again, some of the latest games don't work.

The community at gbatemp seem to well up to speed with TTDS FW development but as I said, there's a whole lot of info to trawl through.
