I bought 4 of these. i bought the version that comes without an sd cart they all came preflashed with wrfuxxed, which is the current cfw with the widest compatibility, and they all work as they should without issues. the carts run on all ds family consoles, nds, ndsl, ndsi, 3ds and 2ds, both modded and stock. i tested the carts on four different systems: ds lite, dsi, 3ds and new 3dsl. these are the cheapest dspico carts i've found so far, and you get what you pay for. they are of noticeably lower quality than dspicos sold by the chisfamily. the tolerances for fitting the game cart slot is a tiny bit off, the cart doesn't slide in or out of the game cart slot as easily as my higher quality chiscart dspicos. it can be difficult to get the cart back out. the micro sd card inside these carts sits in a simple reader without push to eject function, like the more expensive chiscart version has. all in all, well worth the money.

The firmware was the best option but had to figure out by myself how to check it.
