I have the R4 clone, what should I do?

What should i buy, a Nintendo 3ds or DSi or Lite? (see below for more info)(ill be using an R4)?

• Nintendo 3ds I want to buy this because its awesome. However, whats holding me back from going into a store and buying one is that i plan on using R4 flash cards (cheating thing). And there is speculation which assumes that an R4 flash card on a 3ds will work, but then when new firmware is released from nintendo, there is a chance the 3ds will become a brick. Thats the first wall holding me from getting a 3ds, i am not sure if certain flash cards prevent this firmware updates and transformation into brick. The next drawback/wall is that i dont know if i can play online with a 3ds using an R4, i would like to play online. To clairfy, 1st wall: the 3ds using an r4 might become a brick (from firmware update. 2nd wall: dont know if a 3ds using an R4 will be able to play online. DSi not buying it because i would rather have a 3ds using an r4, then a DSi using an R4 (however this may change if the 3ds r4 cnt play online) DSlite same reason as DSi

• Answer:

  1- Flash cart will never brick your 3DS. I've been using flash carts since launch and nothing has happened. Nintendo CAN NOT brick your 3DS. It's a stupid rumor that only noobs fall for. 2- If you're gonna buy a cheap R4 clone (which is all R4 on the market) don't expect online stuff to work properly, but if you get a real flash cart like the acekard or dstwo than you should be fine.
