Deathshroud, yes and a whole lot more.

Eraser, yes the cards work but you have to buy a new version for the DSi. Acekard makes the best one IMO.

Fender, not just homebrew. You can download a ROM of any game out for the DS or GBA (they are very easy to get) and play them from the SD card. You can also play mp3s, videos, and display text files (books). They have other features like real-time saving (since its a rom you can just save the exact state of the game) too. So far I haven't seen a single game not work right, from Need For Speed U2 to various Final Fantasy to New Super Mario. The dashboard is really cool too and user skinnable.

I just ordered one for the GF. I'm assuming it can play GB Advanced games too? If so, this thing is all sorts of win.

So what's the difference between R4/M3/CycloDS/Acekard? I tried searching for stuff and can't find any good comparisons.

[vesp]

M3 was a clone of the R4, but they are both 'old' cards now - I remember reading somewhere that the R4 makers stopped but there were still clone cards called R4's being made (I got one a year ago and it failed to work - marked R4 but didn't work with R4 or M3 or any other firmware).

Cyclods and Acekard are newer generation cards, personally have a cyclods that works perfectly - seems others above have first hand good experiences of the Acekard. (think the Ace is probably the current 'best buy' for up-to-date firmware and features).

[Deathshroud]

Yea, so as a warning to others. I used my Acekard between 2 DS's and it erased my Chrono Trigger save file, and I was 11 hours into the game...

Lesson, use it with one DS exclusively...

I went with the Acekard since it was $20 vs $45 for the CycloDS.

[Deathshroud]

I like the Acekard for every feature that doesn't include complete loss of data.
