* Rip-off clones: Whether clones of this cart exist. This line doesn't reflect if this cart is a clone of another one, but if you have chances to buy a cloned (rip-off) one instead of the expected product. For example if different manufacturers are selling a card with the same name.

* eShop access: Not working anymore since May 13th 2014. A new System menu version 7.2.0-17 has been released by Nintendo and the eShop, System Settings and NNID Settings are now using the NCCH encryption introduced in v7.0.0-13. That new encryption is not compatible with actual flashcart's firmware. Online games are still working, but only if you don't need to download an update.

* Cartridge support: Not possible to launch EmuNAND Classic with R4i/3DSLink/Orange3DS on latest version.

* EmuNAND: Not possible to create a new EmuNAND dump with R4i/3DSLink/Orange3DS on latest version. Existing emuNAND will still be used automatically at launch.
