The market for quality flashcarts, if one ever exists, will probably be a different demographic in a different time. I have managed to get most of the 3DS games I wanted officially (I am still missing a few who are too rare and expensive now), but I am missing A LOT of DS games and also that leaves me without the DS/3DS fan translated games and most of all the cartrige slot of my 3DS is starting to not work anymore and it's getting worse (seems to be an issue with the spring as it won't eject the cartridges properly anymore), a flashcart which I would just insert and never have to remove would be very welcome, alas. It's sad to hear that the situation hasn't changed.Īs am I, I was also looking for a 3DS flashcart two years ago and it's all chinese flashcarts with various hazards, for example the DSTWO+ is actually a Gateway 3DS clone, meaning it can brick your 3DS system,Īside from the fact that it's all sold out now and all support has been abondoned years ago, or the Stargate 3DS which is the newest 3DS flashcart, it was supposed to receive a firmware update that would fix issues, end result the firmware was never released and the website eventually closed, so you are left with the Stargate 3DS flashcart and abondoned firmware support, meaning all you have is the sole release firmware riddled with issues. I remember being pretty disgusted by the absence of reliable DS flashcarts when I was looking for them two years ago. Last edited by Lawfer on Sun 8:35 pm, edited 1 time in total. And most of all the DSTWO has been sold out for a few years now, you could still find listings for them in one of these shady chinese flashcarts online stores that nobody has ever heard of but who knows if what you'll receive is a real one or a clone (if you receive anything at all). The DSTWO is known to be the most power hungry of the chinese flashcarts, this is very outside the regulated power draws standards of retail 3DS cartridge games and that possibly might not be too good for your system in the long run (it certainly isn't good for battery life).Ĥ. Second there are a lot of clones and counterfeit and it's very hard to know if you got a real one or a fake, all of them real or clones sold outside of china were sold online through shady chinese sweatshop dealers that nobody has ever heard of and good luck knowing who's selling you a real or a clone flashcart, because getting a clone/counterfeit 3DS flashcart while using firmware meant for a non-clone can brick your 3DS.ģ. They might turn your 3DS into a brick or help cultivate defects in your 3DS in the long run due to underlying issues that will never be addressed (see Gateway 3DS, Stargate 3DS etc.)Ģ. That's a chinese flashcart and these are too hit and miss if you value your hardware, there's more than a few issues with these:ġ. I've has the Supercard DSTWO for a loooong time not and it works great, not sure why anyone wouldn't recommend it.
