    There's one really cheap here. Is this a reliable source? I'm hoping to get it from somewhere that doesn't ship from China cause those packages can take a really long time to get sometimes. I want something that is easy to use also. It's only for DS so I don't need one that works on 3DS.

    That's not a store, it's a listing of stores that stock that item run by GBATemp. Generally the shops listed there are reliable, but it's run by user reviews. Oh, and be ready to either pay via your card direct or making an order, then getting sent a paypal e-mail to send cash too, there has been a bit of a crackdown the last year. Even AliExpress/Alibaba and DHGate don't carry them now.

    An Everdrive DS would be nice but they all work fine. The real deciding factors on which is: price, does it support SD cards over 2GB, and do you want to emulate? If yes to emulation, get the SuperCard DSTwo. If you're not bothered, get a cheapy R4 White Dual Core or something.

    Get one on ebay, cheap as well and it's safer in general.

    Ebay eh? I see some on there. I think I'll get it from there. They ship from Venezuala but I imagine it'd get here faster than if I ship from China.

    They're not allowed on eBay. Some NES and SNES carts seem to be getting a pass though.

    And @Moo, that's probably because it's old. The R4 SDHC White Dual Core 2016 should be cheap and easier to find.

    I got one from here. http://nds-card.com/

    They do take paypal. They will send a separate email with a paypal account info etc.

    If I ordered before december I suppose that website would be good enough. Since it ships from Hong Kong I'd have to give it time. I once had a package come from China that took over a month to get here. Venezuala could be better if I order in December tho. I don't think customs will slow it down as much, but I dunno.

    For DS (Non 3-, non -i) use pretty much any card will do, and at <$10 I wouldn't even care too much if one of the shops looked a bit dodgy tbh. Just order two or three from different places, at least one will likely turn up, done.

    They are probably not allowed but very easy to find on the website. Bought several there, nothing more complicated than a couple of clicks.

    "r4 nintendo" gives you dozens of results

    So there is! Very pricey though, and if things went south don't expect eBay or PayPal to protect your cash as both prohibit mod chips, flash carts etc.

    I can recommend this shop and this card: http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=507

    Ordered the 2015 edition last year and works perfect on my DSi. I guess its hard to find better value for money.
    But download everything you could need from the cards website and back it up somewhere, as some producers let them die quickly and then its a hassle to find the right ones.

    edit: ah missed that the shop got already mentioned a few posts above me. :)

    Better do not, the sd card prices must be from 5 years ago ;). Have a look on ebay or even a local store should be cheaper.

    I doubt their local carries mini SD... luckily they need Micro :p I think it's only certain GBA flash carts holding onto Mini now!
