    Default What do you think of this nds flash card?

    Hey all, been talking to a friend of mine who has the M3 miniSD Pro and Passcard 3.

    I've been looking at the NeoFlash MK5 (http://www.cheapmod.com/item--NeoFlash-MK5--firelink16g)

    Can anyone give me advice about this one?
    Is it any good? worth the money? If not which would you recommend?

    I know it has built in memory which some may see as a con, but I personally like this as having to fiddle about with SD cards isn't my idea of fun!
    I'd have to purchase an SD Reader etc which is why i'm trying to avoid it.

    I'm a first time DS Lite owner and don't know a great deal about this, although my friend knows alot i'd rather not bother him all the time with questions, so the easier the flash card is to use, the better
    He mentioned about how he has to patch the games using his M3, and from what I can tell with the MK5 I wouldn't have to do this, apart from on the rare occasion where the save type is wrong.

    Thanks for any advice you guys can give

    60 USD? why not just get an r4 with slot 2 device and a micro sd card with a size of your choice? or a ttds? ezflash v? you know, one that does't have built in flash memory. i don't think anyone here has one of those types.

    The shortage of R4 all around is rumored to be the result of R4 developing a new card which will support microSDHC (cards with a capacity of 4gb-32gb). Currently, the only NDS flash cards I know of with microSDHC support are TTDS and M3 Real. Since TTDS is so new to the scene, no one can yet be sure how consistent updates and support may be. This pretty much makes M3 Real the best, most established, and most reliable card on the market currently. I will be making due with R4 for now however.

    I'm pretty sure the Cyclo DS supports SDHC, too.

    Ah, CycloDS does, along with a slew of other nice features. R4 is quickly finding itself outclassed and can not expect to continue selling by name alone without a major update or new version on the horizon.
