Flashcart Compatability

[scorcher9910]

I recently bought a flashcart, and it is currently shipping.

Will this be compatible will most of my Pokemon editing and hacking? Basically, will it work with PPSE-DS?

Thanks for any help.

Cancel your order and get AK2, CycloDS or Supercard DSTwo.

It doesn't work with PPSE-DS, or those are better quality? I'm kinda on a low budget.

Well, that looks to me like a cheap knockoff, so it might be really terrible. The brands Pingouin7 listed are reputable.

Personally, I have an AK2 and it is beautiful.

Oh man, dang. I wonder if it's too late to cancel? Agh. About the brands Pingouin listed, AK2 looks good, CycloDS is out of my price range, and SuperCardDStwo is slightly out of my price range. If I can cancel, I'll get an AK2.

As a side note, I heard R4's were pretty good. So is that just a knock-off and that's why it's bad?

I also thought it was pretty interesting that everything that has been said that FlashCarts should have (DLDI Auto patch, Moonshell 2.0, etc.) are displayed by the one I ordered. So is that just empty promises, or could it possibly run, just be a piece of crap or something?

I doubt it could, but that would suck if it bricked my DS.

Most R4 suck.

If you want a R4, buy them from here.

Once you receive it, download the latest version of Wood R4.

Well now its too late to cancel. I'll just tell you guys how it is.

Well, live and learn.

Well okay, the verdict on the flashcart:

Whenever I try to run it, it says no card inserted.

WASTE. OF. MONEY. -facepalm-

EDIT: Nevermind, it means I don't have a microSD plugged in. It didn't come with one, grrr.

That does deserve a "Fail" flag.

[scorcher9910]

The only MicroSD we have in the house is in my moms phone. -___-

So hopefully, I'll get one soon.

Update!

I got a MicroSD and it took a bit of messing around, but I got it to work and it runs fine. Woo! haha.

[scorcher9910]

Another update!

Every game that I've played on it, apps that I've played on it, music that I've played, all works fine. And the games have absolutely no lag and run like a normal game. The only problem I've encountered so far is that whenever I run PPSE-DS and choose my .sav file, it says its not a valid save file. I have no idea why.

The interface is also not user-friendly at all.

But, I've figured it out now and everything runs fine. Actually not a waste of money after all!

Most R4 suck.

Just to try and clear this up, the people behind R4 apparently stopped producing new units a long time ago. So any "new" models are supposedly cheap knock-offs. And even the real R4 units are outdated by now.

Either way, I'm glad to see things worked out for you, scorcher9910!
