    Can i buy multicarts? DSI XL

    Hey, hey,

    I have bought DSI XL Blue for my little one for Xmas (the one released Oct 10). I am happy modding PS2, Wii etc, but i have no clue about handhelds.

    Can anyone tell me where i can buy a cart i just plug in and play? ie so i din't have to mess about with installing stuff (apart from the games!)

    I have found a site, but it only uses DSTTi and i thought only Acekard 2i was recommended?

    Like i say, complete newbie, but if anyone is willing to help, it would be very much appreciated.

    Ty!

    ok firstly you need to be aware that the dsi is not hacked, any flashcards you buy will work in ds mode but carts that are enhanced for dsi will be a real pain to get running (if at all).

    secondly, almost all carts require some kind of firmware update even the oldest ones but to work at all on the dsi they need to be able to upgrade not only firmware (to get around game protections) but also the bootstrap system to get around dsi firmware updates.

    the cheapest dsi cards like dstt and most with r4 badges cant be upgraded for the bootstrap and so whilst very cheap should be considered disposeable as you'll need to throw them away pretty much every time nintendo does a dsi firmware update.

    the next level cards like the edgei and acekard 2i can be fully updated BUT you need a ds / dsl to do the update as it cant be updated on a dsi.

    the more expensive carts can be fully upgraded mostly by using a pc or something with a powered usb port (like a powered hub) the best of these is the supercard ds two.

    i hope that helps you a little.

    by the way multicarts are a different thing alltogether, they are pirate carts with multiple ds games on them, again, not all of them will work on a dsi.
