    Moved from Emulation to Console as you are not playing on a PC

    The NDSTT kit is now very very old so some games may need patching to work

    Also all games must be extracted to nds format so zipped roms do not work

    Most flash kits are picky where you store the game so just make sure your new ones are stored in the same place as the old ones

    You don't need one but as you are using a DS rather than a DSi or 3DS/2DS you have tons of options but the cheaper side the Acekard2i is a great kit no patching required last time I used that kit

    Or there is the M3 Real kit another great kit that you can get with a GBA expansion and/or Rumble pack (the rumble packs are for use with DS games that support that feature and plugs into the GBA slot, the M3 Real set can also have a GBA expansion/Ruble in a single Slot 2 device)

    The best kit on the market is the Supercard DSTWO but that one costs a bit more than the other kits around, it also has advanced features that you may not use anyway for playing GBA and SNES games via emulation (It's not perfect the emulation that is but better than normal DS flash kit emulators due to extra on board memory), but as you are using a DS you could also go for a 3 in 1 kit or a GBA flash kit either works and runs GBA better at least anyway or the afore mentioned M3 Real combo set that is much the same thing only it is designed specifically to work with the M3 Real kit so no 3rd party extra software needed

    Overall the Acekard2i is possibly the more available product though, but I don't see the need if you can get the games working with your DSTT kit

    What was it then? if you don't mind me asking.

    I basically said you should try and get them working on that anyway a bit of a waste of cash if you have a working kit anyway

    Asides from games that need patching, most well known are the newer pokemon games that you can get pre patched easy enough anyway (without patching you never level up and timed events don't happen otherwise the games appear to work)

    I do like Acekard2i. It has the Bypass AP option that makes some games bypass unplayable scenes due to emulator detection (or something.) I remember Okamiden has an AnitiPiracy measure that make it impossible to open treasure chests to get past a certain part. It may have required a patch also though, I cannot remember. The patched games are found all over like Zorlon said.

    I have never grabbed a pre patched rom myself

    I do however have a full (possibly does need updating though) DS set [No patches applied] but even if I used one of my older kits that does not have AP bypassing I used software that finds patches and checks if x game requires patching called DS-Scene Rom Tool (I'm sure you need to be a member to use/download that though, but it's a free membership, much like ourselves though I never once posted there that I remember) It is great software for older flash kit users and R4 clone users and even looks for updated cheat files for you
