It was indeed VERY intimate x3

I had a great ol' fun time x3

In fact, I think I had the best time there out of anybody in the audience!

That's awesome, If I went too any concert it would be the Ace Combat The Symphony 25th Anniversary
in Japan a few years back. I watched a live stream and I actually shed tears when they mixed "15 Years ago" with "the Journey Home". Those 2 songs are synopsis for the rest of the series and plays a big part in my life.

New DS/3DS cases for my flashcarts. They use foam inserts and aren't made of crappy plastic that's for sure. These cases are solid and are resistant against being dropped or thrown in a box somewhere.

I collect a lot of DS flashcarts because they're very interesting to me hardware-wise, and because I enjoy console modding. Spent over 3 1/2 years collecting *almost* every one. I might have to sell some duplicates at one point as you've noticed with the OG/clone R4s and DSTTs. 😂

Nice, thank you. The R4(i) Ultra is an Acekard 2(i) clone, by the way. Only works up to 3DS v4.5.0 & DSi v1.4.5, unless you install custom firmware to unblock the card, as subsequent system updates prevent you from running the older cards until v7.0.0 3DS. And yes, I have tested most of them when they arrive, and they work without issues.

Also I got a Free McBoot loader for my PS2 and was wondering what size USB I can use to play games off of. Also does it need to be formated in like... Fat32?

This... definitely sounds like something SylverRez could help you with.
If you went down the SMB route though I'd totally be able to help you. Could even set it up in real time since we have a discord thing now!
But you need a cross-over ethernet cable for that to connect your PS2 to your PC or laptop.
See what Sylzer recommends & find out what's more ideal for you.

I assume a few of them are special

A few of them are special, yes.

The DSTWO, for example, has an extra CPU inside the flashcart, namely the Ingenic JZ4732 found in the Dingoo A320 (one of the many first emulation handhelds from 2006). The extra CPU is used for emulating GBA and SNES games. It's also used by some homebrew, which uses the DSTWO's extra capabilities that was compiled with their open-source SDK, which turned out to be a nightmare to use because of missing libraries and functions. But in terms of emulation, performance is all in all a hit or miss at times, depending on the game. People didn't necessarily mind, and this was back when the DS(i) and 3DS removed the GBA slot, as it would be seen as a weak point, much like how the original DS was hacked to boot DS games by readdressing slot-2 in DS mode via the PassMe adapter.

Next, I have the second-generation 3DS flashcarts, particularly the Sky3DS and Stargate 3DS—both of these flashcarts work just like a 3DS game card without my knowing the difference or requiring custom firmware to interface with them. And just like 3DS game cards, ROMs must be encrypted and should have the same region as your console; the difference between both flashcarts is that the Sky3DS needs its proprietary "DiskWriter" software along with its template of game information to write them to the SD card, while the Stargate 3DS is simply drag-and-drop, and away you go. The Stargate 3DS also has built-in DS game support, and by holding down the two orange buttons simultaneously, it will mount as a DS game card and will let you play DS games, but the compatibility with homebrew and some retail games with its Wood kernel is okay; DS games, such as Pokemon Black 2, do not work, and homebrew is not automatically patched, so it requires doing this manually, but 3DS games load and save fine (except the clones do not save to the SD card; rather, it stores it to the internal EEPROM, which can be overwritten once you close out and open a new game.)

Can u educate me on the reason you have so many flash carts?

I have a penchant for collecting anything that is obscure or interesting, and the latter is where flashcarts are at that spot. I never grew up owning any of them, and it's something I wish were documented and explored.

I highly recommend you order a MemCard Gen2 and have both PS2BBL+OpenOSD (OpenOSD being a replacement to FMCB) as well as a microSD card to store your games. In terms of read/write speeds with a USB on USB 1.1, it's incredibly slow and I don't recommend using this as much.
