The best flashcard to use with dsi firmware v1.4.1

i posted the following in the troubleshooting area of this forum but i think it is relevant to this topic as well.Obviously the firmware on the dsi and dsi xl has just got updated and hopefully more and more flashcards will be made or have updates/kernels created so that they can work with v1.4.1 (U and E versions).So far the list of flashcard that work with the firmware are:EZ-Flash ViiSmart DS (both v1.4.1U and v1.4.1E according to their website)Hyper R4iR4i Gold card (only v1.4.1U? - does someone know/confirm that this can't work on v1.4.1E?)Supercard DSTWO Acekard2iM3i ZeroiplayerDSTTi Card? (can someone confirm this?)(i will update as more come available - if ppl can tell be which ones of the above are proven to work on the US version of the firmware and which the europe version i'd much appreciate it)The question is which of these flashcards so far work the best in all of your experiences (the least bugs, blocks, virus's, least crashing and/or messing up of the ds system, the best running, easiest to use, etc....)many thanks in advance

R4i SDHC

Hi all,I got my R4i-SDHC today in the mail from gameplayfun.com. I must say this thing is rather nice!This little guy boasts some awesome compatibility with games. I mean it's far better than a of of the R4 named clones out there. In fact it isn't an R4 clone, more of a DSTT/TTDS clone hybrid. It has the TTDS/DSTT file browser, but also has other features such as WiFi kernel updates, WiFi game downloads, WiFi games download manager. Those are nice features, but I have not tested them yet.Some quirks I hated was the file browser itself as it lists all the saves in that folder along with any other files in there. Plus it does this slow icon scrolling thing that slows the browsing slightly. But other than that there aren't any complaints. One good thing is that games load within a second or two! That's fast as hell!Now I tried about 20ish games today, including some newer ones and they all booted, played, and saved fine. Hll even Castlevania DoS's intro played fine with no lag. Castlevania PoR did not freeze or lag whatsoever in the known problematic area's of the game. Really this is good!That wraps up the quick impressions for now, but I will be back later to pst more info!
