(http://www.digimartz.com/r4i-gold-3ds-deluxe-edition-playing-3ds-games-with-r4i-gold-3ds-starter_p1215.html)

Just like gateway 3ds, R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition also includes two cards, a golden card and a blue card.The blue card is just like the flash card R4i gold 3ds ( similar to gateway 3ds ) and can support the latest version 3DS V6.3, while the golden card, r4i gold 3ds starter, helps to enable R4i DELUXE Edition card have the 3ds roms function.

r4ids.cn is a great company, they always do their best to meet the players' need.Make their products better, and r4i gold 3ds is the first card to support 3ds V6.2 and V6.3, this how how good their attitude is.

R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition is cheaper than gateway 3ds, and r4ids.cn is a better company than gateway 3ds company( from my point of view). So it is predictable that someday R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition will take over the market of gateway 3ds

Which flash card should I buy for my 2DS

Not many people likes 2ds. they think it looks dump and ugly.But from another point of view, it is cheap and it give you personality.

2DS is just 3DS with different appearance without 3d function.That means that if the flash card can work well on the 3ds, it should also work perfectly on the 3ds with the same version.

I have tested and I am pretty certain that R4i gold RTS for 3DS ,supercard dstwo and ace3ds plus can work on 2ds very well.

Of course, some flash card have no chance to support 2ds, such as Gateway 3ds ( it might will be ), acekard 2i ( it will never be), so just leave them alone.
