Title says it all, I know that most flashcart resellers are China based, but where is the most reliable sites to buy a gateway 3ds flashcart from in the US? BTW, my Nintendo 3DS XL system version is the newest 6.2.0-12U, where can I get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL? Edit: thanks for all the replies, very helpful and informative. I ended up buying from http://www.thegamerdepot.com/buy-ga...3ds-flashcart-supports-all-3ds-rom-p-167.html

If your 3ds is v6.2.0, I'm afraid you can not play 3ds games with gateway 3ds card, as red gateway 3ds flashcard works on (4.1 -> 4.5) only for now. While blue gateway 3ds flashcard enable you to play ds roms/games(it supports nintendo 3DS firmware upto Ver. 6.1.0-12. It is a R4i Flash card). You can buy it from here http://r4i-3ds.com/gateway-3ds-flas...3ds-flashcard-play-backup-3ds-roms-p-163.html
