    Hi, My sister has a Cyclo DS card which has all her games on it. Is there a similar card ( for cheaper if possible ) which does the same thing ? I.e. have all your games on it. I checked out the Cyclo DS card online & it seems to be about €50 - €70 including the smart card. That's too much !
    Thanks !:)

    Dealextreme.com get your self a DSTT card and a 2gb memory card for around €10, add a card reader if needed.

    If you want it for christmas order IMMEDIATELY , even then you might not get it

    AceKard2 might be a better option using AKAIO has much better menu system and features

    Im not very familar with acekard, but i imagine it is firmware that you download

    you need to order a micro SD with it

    AKAIO is "AceKard All-In-One", it's an alternative Operating System for the Acekard than the manufacturers and it's much better & nicer to use.

    Simply extract the OS onto the card, and then throw on the games into the root of the SD card or make yourself a folder to keep things neat.

    Instructions for downloading/using AKAIO can be found over on the gbatemp wiki (google AKAIO :))

    Sorry to hijack!

    The wife is getting a DSi for xmas and I am looking into the best card!

    Would the AceKard be up there as the best? Will all games play from a memory card like this or are there issues I should be aware of?

    Many thanks!

    Close to double the price of the card on DX, but MM will probably get it out to you before 2011 :D

    yeah idealy DX would be the best place to buy, but there is not a hope of you getting an order from them before christmas. I ordered a couple of things for someone a week or two ago and even im not certain I'll get in time, they have been slow as wet weeks lately

    I got 2 AceKard 2i's from dealxtreme and they worked perfectly but they took 32 days to deliver - so you have to be patient.

    The card allows me to use the DS for listening to music and reading books, it can also play movies but i haven't figured that out yet. If you are ordering from DX also get a USB microSD card reader if your computer dosen't have a slot (only 1 euro) - You can get a 4GB micro SD card from O2 stores for 15 euro which is as good as you will find on the net and you have peace of mind.

    Yes, you need a different card. Acekard 2i is just one of many cards available for the DSi
