Great

This is a great flashcart with the most compatibility out of any other. I have friends with other flashcards, and they come to me to help them get their game to run on their R4 or whatever, but I never needed to patch anything (besides Bowser's Inside Story) to run any game. If you download the custom firmware AKAIO, compatibility soars to 99.9 percent with patches like action replay or soft reset enabled and 99.99 percent with those disabled (Bowser's Inside Story still needs a 5 second patch) A little less intuitive than other flashcarts, but has more features. All homebrew is supported without need of DLDI patching. AKAIO allows for full native support for the slot-2 Flashcard EZ-Flash 3in1+ (used as ram expansion, rumble pack, or GBA flashcard) and other slot 2 flashcards. You can download alternate skins for the firmware. It's compatible with Micro SDHC Cards up to 32 gb in size. Micro SD/SDHC is REQUIRED FOR THIS PRODUCT and is not included. There is no Savestate/Realtime Save feature. For CHEATs/Action Replay, you can use a cheat compiler to write your own database, download a database and paste it in your CHEATS folder, or with AKAIO download it directly onto your ds via wifi connection.

Strengths:  almost perfect compatibility with commercial games and perfect homebrew support. Customizable with a lot of file browsing features. AKAIO is amazing.

Weaknesses:  The product doesn't include the MicroSDHC. Doesn't have savestates. Incompatible with DSi (there is Acekard2i for dsi)

Awesome!

Regardless of the various problems that have been noted on the web, I have absolutely zero and it's been about 3-4 months for me. The Reason it has 4/5 is the fact that there is no real time saving feature that quite a few other Flash Karts seem to have.

Strengths:  Nice Design Sturdy Kart Nice Skin Design

Weaknesses:  No Real Time Save Feature!

Here's what I think...

Bought one of these, worked great for about 30 days, then stopped working with the binary lockup seen throughout the web. DO NOT BUY!

Here's what I think...

First one I ordered arrived quick and was DOA. Kick Gaming support was awesome and allowed me to return the cart and shipped me a new one at no charge.

Second cart worked for about 15 minutes and died. I tried it again this morning, was able to get it to boot once, and it's dead again.

I have used about a half-dozen different flash carts before and design embedded microprocessor systems as a hobby. I know what I'm doing, and this cart is trash. If you read their forums, these carts have endless problems, and the manufacturers only response is "return it to your supplier." Stay away from this cart.
