Read it and you'll know how many games a 2 gigaoctet (gigabyte) DS card hold and other NDS storage devices.

ok that works. so i wont need a huge card then lol. now the problem is finding the package so i dont have to search three different places
Obligatory Cola/Milady rant:
If you want to be sure everything is going to function optimally, don't get a bundle and buy your memory card separately. I got a bundle when I first got my Acekard, and my 4GB SDHC card turned out to be a class 2. It would freeze randomly in some games, requiring a restart, and others were unplayable because of the slow transfer speeds. Spend about ten dollars and five minutes of search time on Amazon or Newegg and get yourself a class 6 card. Mine is a Transcend, which works beautifully.
Colamisu told me this when I was discussing Acekards, and I decided to take my chances with the bundle. Eventually I replaced the SDHC card, which I could have bought in the first place had I taken his advice.
What kind of help do you want? I already suggested Amazon or Newegg for buying your micro SD card.
Suggestions for buying Acekards will likely depend on your location.
Maybe one of these?

Edit: Hm. I may buy this one - http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Clas...4024691&sr=1-2 Thanks for the info, Milady.

I'm in the US and I've bought two Acekard2is in the past from KoolDS. They're $17.99 now, if you buy them without their being part of a bundle. They ship from California, and they don't have annoying clones. I had a really hard time finding someone in the country last year when I was looking for myself, but I didn't do any searching for cheaper options when I was buying one this Christmas. I simply decided to opt for the site that turned out to be lovely in the past.
Amazon's prices are pretty decent, and most things have an option for free shipping, which is good if you're on a budget. I would definitely recommend a Transcend. Don't forget to grab a class 6 card. I found mine by searching "micro sd class 6" or something like that.
I don't know why you're shopping for cards, Mikey, but just in case, you'll not want a standard sized SD card Garren. You'll want one of the micros with an adapter (unless you already have an adapter or don't need one for some reason). Also, you're welcome.

i found this http://www.pickegg.com/wholesale/ace...g-tf-card.html which seems to be ok price. but this one is good though it just a card but it comes with the usb thing i was talking about http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846
You'll need to get it into your computer, if you're going to put the firmware and games onto it. They make USB adapters, but cards seem to generally come with the micro-to-SD card adapters.
I was just curious, since that card you linked specifically to wasn't a micro card.
And now that I've seen that link, I believe A-DATA is the other one that, like Transcend, has a pretty good reputation. Cola once posted a link from Newegg, whilst recommending one or the other, if I'm not mistaken.
Except the first one is bundled with a card, which I advised you against, and the second one is a class 2 card, which I also advised you against.
I've offered what information I can. At this point, the shopping choices are up to you, I suppose.
