I recommend CycloDS from Realhotstuff.


Not only is it the top rated card for homebrew on the DSLite, this is also one of the cheapest places to get it and it has free shipping. Make sure you get a MicroSD card with it. Either from Real Hot Stuff or some place else. I got an 8GB from Amazon pretty cheap.

I've used real hot stuff and have experience with them. Shipping only takes 2-3 days. I've already gotten two from them and I'm going to order a third for my sisters DS for Christmas. Goodluck and have fun.

Yes, all you need is the CycloDs and the MicroSD card to play any backups or home brew. It comes with regular updates as well- You should check out the Team Cyclops forum, they are all extremely helpful with any hiccups you may have once you get the card. (Certain backup not running, etc.) I've not had any issues with my cards though.

It just depends on what you're trying to do with the card. Some people enjoy watching movies/playing music. I have no experience with that as my DS is a gaming machine only. I recommend updating to the latest BETA firmware once you get your card. I had some issues playing backups of Mario and Luigi 3 until I upgraded. It's all really easy though. It's all drag and drop. If you have the basic knowledge of Windows file folders, you can use the CycloDs.

I should also clarify the term "back up" I'm using. When I say backup I mean DS Games. Now, if you're wanting to run Emulators. Such as GBA SNES SEGA MASTER SYSTEM, ETC. or if you're wanting to use a backup of the DS Web Browser then you will need an EZ 3in1 (Which you can also get from real hot stuff)
