Do you use a NDS flash cart or do you buy your own games?

Spent most of my money on the actual games, but once there weren't as many ds games that seemed good enough to buy, swtiched over to the r4.

I have a Cyclo Evolution and an EZ Flash V slot 2 expansion cart. The Cyclo is the best, no patching or passcards, I haven't found anything that it won't play. Seamless homebrew support. Supports micro-SD cards. Excellent web support. Flash upgradeable BIOS. I have nothing negative to say about it. Not one thing. It even comes in a cool tin box with a USB Micro-SD flash adapter. Just copy your roms to it like any other disk device on your PC. Well worth the $60.00 investment. The main reason I got it is to write my own Homebrew games. Google "Cyclo Evoloution" and check out thier website.Jimbo

I prefer buying original games, so that the people who spent the time to make them get rewarded, but since money is a decisive factor here, I go with the R4.

I have a flash card and do not buy anymore DS games. But I don't play a lot so it's not a big deal.

I currently bought an R4 to install an .nds file for painting purposes, actually...but made a mistake and ended up with two microDS cards, a 2GB one and an 8GB one...so I'll save myself the trouble of buying the games and just use up my microDS's first.

I used buy NDS games but I'm not going to buy many NDS games since I got a R4 recently. If I like a game very much, I would like to have actual game not a file though.

I use an R4,and in the long run it ends up much cheaper. It's useful and aldo more compactable than having all those little game cartridges.

I bought my DS 2nd hand and it came along with an R4. Well, if I have it, why not use it? =P

I have an R4, and I mostly use it to try out games, or play Japanese games. I hate getting games only to realize that they are not what I expect, even if I do return it its just a hassle. I do buy games that I'm a big fan of when I have the money though.

Im currently saving for the AceKard 2i. I wouldn't know what a flashcard is but i learned that the AR doesnt work on the DSi. I searched DSi Action Replay, came up with complaints, kept looking, found the AceKard, looked at what it does, researched other Flashcarts, choose AceKart 2i

i buy my own games. i like looking at my shelf and seeing my game cases all lined up. it's just one of the perks of being a real game owner.of course i also do roms, but not the flash cart.

I got a Acekard2i. Good card that works with both DSL & DSi. Btw, heard that R4's out of production. Not sure if this is true cos seems that it's still available in markets.

I tend to do both - I bought the pokemon game! 'cuz it's awesome! But, if I'm onlyvaguely interested in the game, I tend to download it onto my r4ds. I love the fact you can put themes on the r4ds though ^^

Use flashcart to try. Buy if I like it. If I don't, I simply delete the rom since it just wastes space and I'd probably never play it again.

I buy games made by companies I respect. I usually then download them to avoid carrying cartridges with me after I purchase them.I download (and not buy) games I do not respect, however. these are games I don't mind playing, but I could live without them.I'm starting to buy a flash cart to save money.Please post what you do to get games.I would love to hear them because I don't know much people with DS flashcarts.
