Nintendo DS and GBA Flash cards

DS cards or "flashcarts" for Nintendo DS such as the R4 DS, R4i Gold, Acekard or Supercard allow you to play downloaded games and applications on your console. There are many cards available: the regular cards such as the R4 only work on the original Nintendo DS and DS Lite. More advanced and newer cards such as the Supercard DSTWO, the Acekard 2i and generally cards that have "i" in their name somewhere, are compatible with the newer models of the Nintendo DS: the DSi and the DSi XL.

To check whether the flashcart of your choice is compatible with the DS you have, simply refer to the little stickers we've placed all around the site:
