Okay, I'm in the market for a DS flashcart, and I want to get a good (preferably the best) one.
SO.
Which one should I get?
Apparently the R4DS isn't the best anymore?
I want one that will definitely work with MicroSD cards. (my friend has a G6 with built-in memory ugh)

I'd recommend either an M3 or G6 real. They come with everything you need, and the latest firmware works with all ROM's, even those that have copy protection. They're also about 2GByte or larger, which is about 30-50 ROM's depending on the file sizes.

does M3 take microSD?
I don't want a G6 as I don't like onboard memory. I'd prefer to expand.

also, is the acekard any good?

Highly considering getting a CycloDS Evolution, though this deal on the M3 Real is pretty good: http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/hb-ds-m3realp

also I don't have a DS lite
I just have a DS phat

Cyclo is fantastic, have no problems with it and the interface is really, really nice.

(G6 sucks and will likely break, btw. Myself and like 6 friends had them, none are still working without problems as far as I know.)

Yo fret
I've heard the acekard is somewhat cheap (in quality, not just price) and doesn't have the features of the M3, G6, etc.
That's a great price, but it's just the cart and a reader. The M3 comes with more stuff and is a better card and has more features.

My friend's G6 was actually pretty cool and had it not had onboard memory, I would have had it by now.

Strongly considering a CycloDS now. I've read that they have an excellent community/support team and it updates regularly. not sure whether to get ti or the M3 though.

I personally like my M3DS Real. I heard that they may be doing something to combat the R4 in the future -- I think something with extra coding that needs an authentic game card to execute, but can be cracked. For that reason, go for the newer ones with upgradeable firmware.

GBAtemp thread on the subject.

I have DScyclo Evolution and it's awesome.
Never had any problems with it and it emulates perfectly.
