Supercard DSTwo

This is the definitive, best cart available for DS systems.

- Near 100% compatibility with games with the only hiccups being in older titles. Many of these have been fixed though.
- Great, Slot 1 GBA Emulator. This isn't the absolute best out there, but considering the price of the cart and the DSi's lack of a Slot 2, this is absolutely amazing.
- SNES Emulator that easily surpasses the shoddy homebrew emulators available to all.
- Many plug ins for ease of use in many aspects
- Great media support for music and video
- Many fun extras for in game
- Supports large MicroSD cards

The list goes on and on making this cart just flat out amazing. I can not recommend anything over it, but I can give a more simple choice for those looking for something less extravagant.

Acekard2i

The Acekard2i is an excellent cart with the use of the third party AKAIO firmware.

- Great compatibility and supports patched games well
- Inexpensive
- Supports large MicroSD cards
- Great cart for the cost

This cart lacks all of the bells and whistles of the DSTwo but serves all the possible needs of somebody just looking to play DS games.

I think Cheapchick was genuinely asking about memory cards, not cards for playing pirated games ...

Have a look a this page on the Nintendo website for more information:

What You'll Need:

• A compatible SD Card or SDHC Card. The Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL are compatible with SD cards up to 2 GB and SDHC cards up to 32 GB.

Cheapchick - I would suggest you pick up a 4 or 8GB SDHC card (standard SD cards only go up to 2GB). They will cost from about £2 per GB - don't pay much more than that. The like of Currys and PC World can charge a lot of money for these, so just shop around.
