Need some help deciding
Relatively new to this DS hacking stuff so bear with me for a newb question. Ive been looking at the different carts for the DS and I'm basically torn by deciding on one since I have had zero experience with the DS hacking/modding/homebrew scene. Im a PSP guy. My wife and my kiddos are the DS nutz. And I want something thats fairly easy for a 26 year old and a 7 year old to use. Ive narrowed it down to 3 different carts from the googling ive done today.
CycloDS - Priciest of the 3
R4 - Ive read these are really solid carts(seems there are a few different ones)
DSTT - is cheapest
What I want basically is your guys opinions on these 3 carts and which one I would be better off buying.

Re: Need some help deciding
iv been through all 3 of them, DSTT i find the slowest and only displays 4 games at a time which is annoying also buit quality is not all that.
R4 is a good cart, does the job fine but i prefer the Cyclods, does everything a R4 can do but had built in flash for firmware and also the cyclo team release alot of updates aswell as being SDHC unlike R4.

CycloDS. Might be a little pricier but its worth your money. R4s are a dying cart.

Re: Need some help deciding
it matters what you wanna do. First and foremost screw the R4, it's dying. Now if you just wanna play backups, just get a DS top toy, now if you're really into homebrew, and action replay cheating type of thing and just random features then go for the cyclos DS. The cyclos DS is the best, but that doesent mean you should just randomly waist money on features you don't need.
