* 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 if your EmuNAND version is not updated to the latest system menu and eshop version. Online games are still working on old system menu version, 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.

* Region Free: Possible on 2DS, 3DS, and 3DS XL with a system menu version lower than 9.4 using smealum's RegionThree, Or on N3DS/3DS/2DS on 9.2 or 9.2+ using smealum's RegionFour/HANS.
