- Acekard AK2 for Nintendo DS Lite DS Original
Posts about DS Slot-2 written by DS Flash Carts. Moonshell CycloDS Evo. Filed under: Uncategorized — DS Flash Carts @ 10:39 am. Slot 2 Flash Carts are GBA cartridges that have Removable Storage inputs, such as micro or miniSD (Image 3). But if you boot it from the main DS menu, it will boot as a GBA game. So you need a PassKey, which makes your DS think it's a DS game but really just boots from the GBA Cartridge. Again, Slot 1 Flash Cards are recommended.
