That's one great piece of advice :) I see much clearer now.
I already own a DS Lite and a Cyclo DS Evo, so I may update my DSi to 1.4.3 AFTER switching to DSi mode. Am I right ?

And will I still be able to play legit DSiware after that ?

Considering you have an old Evo like me, you can fire the DSi to 1.4.3 without any problems regarding possible problems in game compatibility. Do note that the DSi mode is quite crippled so you'll probably have quite a few problems with newer games. But if you think DSiWare > DS mode, you're ready to go. Sometimes games do look better on the DSL (smaller pixels), but the DSi XL screen is so much better for the eye, especially in text heavy games like RPGs and such.

Personally I have a DSTwo for playing games and the iEvo is just for testing if some interesting DSi mode homebrew happens to appear (very rare). Alternatively the AK2i is a good choice too, but lacks quite a few iEvo features (RTS, slow motion and many others) and thus is also collecting dust for me.

That's what I will do right now !
Your config is interesting, but do you happen to get confused between all those flashcards ?

Not really. I rarely even use my DSiXL (DSL even less), since I happen to have quite a small amount of time for gaming as of late and I also happen to have about 30-40 PS3 games to be played (damn you online stores for cheap PS3 games!). But if I happen to play with my DSiXL, I usually just play without needing any extra features. Thus as long as the game works, I don't care which one is inserted (in other words, the DSTwo is the one I carry with me since it's not a big hassle to get games to work on it (the iEvo freezes on newer titles so can't really use the cart that much)). Basically I could just go with the AK2i for the sake of it, but I like having the possibility of the GBA emu that the DSTwo offers (though I haven't tested the PSP GBA emu, which is said to be far far more superior compared to the DSTwo. On the other hand I could use the Evo + 3in1 for native GBA on the DSL).

    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there

    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.

    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.

    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.

    @SylverReZ, idk why facebook tried to do that metaverse thing if mmo games already existed before
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And Yea I refuse to call it meta
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I refuse to call it Meta, too. It's a stupid name.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then why did you call it like that a minute ago?

    I don't get why Facebook ever wanted to dabble into virtual reality, when other companies were doing it.
