I used deal extreme,they're in China and slow to deliver,always out of stock. The software for r4 cards is better than ever and I don't know why anyone would say that r4 carts don't work very well - links??
I haven't even seen an Acekard but if you google you will see lots of mentions that they are unreliable, I was thinking of getting one to try but never bothered after what I read.

They are slower but they are far cheaper the R4 cards do not accept SDHC which you may require to take advantage of the greater memory and storage capacity. Personally I have the Edge card which I have no complaints about. I think you have just been unlucky with the out of stock bit. Each to his own I suppose but heres a link to all the reviews of the cards available http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=250

I agree.
Bought a couple of R4 cards for my Son & Nephew...........best thing i've bought this year. We managed to download about 40 Homebrew games onto the card & i hardly ever see my son these days, as he's constantly on his DS! :rotfl:

As long as the 40 games were hombrew ones and not retail games, as this would be illegal and discussion of which is not allowed.

Homebrews of course.

The R4 is a bit out of date now, and struggles to play newer homebrew games.

I would recommend the 'M3DS Real'. Its quite up-to-date, and the software update is quite regular. It also came with a 'Rumble Pack', which slots into the Gameboy cartridge slot....It great when i'm playing Super...er...Homebrew Kart.
