Got a 3DS with V4.5.0-10 as a gift.
I'd like to find/use a flashcart with it. I know very little of flashcarts but just from looking at prices and some posts it seems r4i gold 3ds and r4-shdc 3ds are good options.
As I understand:
1. NOT all versions of 4i gold 3ds or r4-shdc 3ds are ready (as "plug and play") for V4.5.0-10. They may need to be patched/flashed and for that usually you need another DS (which I don't have access to). Correct?
2. Hence, I need to buy specific versions of these cards 4i gold 3ds (revision "C") or r4-shdc 3ds ("v4.5"), which are ready to be plugged in and work in a V4.5.0-10 system. Correct?
3. When I buy one of these cards, is the micro SD only for the purpose of ROMS? or does it have software used by the flashcart to work with V4.5.0-10?
4. Where can I buy (US shipping) 4i gold 3ds (revision "C") or r4-shdc 3ds ("v4.5") from a trusted site?
Again, complete newbie here, trying to understand how to find/use a cart. Thanks.

The r4i gold 3ds flash card in some shops can support 3ds 4.5 version out of box,you can take it easy and r4i sdhc 3ds card marked with v4.5 can support newest 3ds version out of box.No need to update!
I would like to recommend digitopz.com to you, have purchased from them twice and all with nice experience. As they announced on the website, their r4i gold 3ds card and r4i sdhc 3ds card can support 3ds 4.5.0-10 out of box, you can take a look here:http://www.digitopz.com/r4isdhc-3ds-flash-card-p-310.html
And seems you can get 5% discount for the coming of the xmas, hope this can help you, Good luck. lol

The most simple way is buy a dstwo and a sdcard, download the firmware on dstwo official, put firmware in sdcard, put roms in sdcard. then you can play.
i recommend dstwo because this is the strongest card in the market right now. and you can enjoy many emulator by dstwo also.
http://www.game4deal.com/ their dstwo is pre-flashed, so you can use it out of the box. i bought from them and they use dhl send parcel, so the items catched up with X-mas, all cards work fine. but they are dstwo wholesale.. maybe you can check the dstwo official reseller too, reseller is always worth trust.

At present, Supercard Dstwo, R4i gold 3DS, R4i-sdhc 3DS can support 3DS v4.5.0. Personally I think R4i gold 3DS is a good choice. It is cheaper than Supercard Dstwo. Its kernel Wood R4 updates rapidly. An excellent flashcard,I think.
I found that http://www.gamezway.com/r4i-gold-3ds-fo...145_p18424.html , an official distributor, offers the best price and it is free shipping.

All settled.
I got a card (dsgamer.com, slower shipping than expected for being in the US, but product works). Installed the kernell and loaded some games. Thanks!
Will play around and see what other questions arise. Thanks.

yeah christopher , do not buy acekard 2i for your 3ds xl. acekard 2i can not work on your latest 3ds xl, just buy the r4i gold 3ds card. and make sure it is a pre flashed one that working on your 3ds XL. http://www.thegamerdepot.com/buy-wood-r...sids-p-150.html will be working great on your new 3DS XL.
