DS flashcarts refer to any flashcart that runs in DS mode. While such flashcarts may have 3DS in the name (e.g. "R4i SDHC 3DS RTS"), they do not support 3DS games. You can verify this by seeing if the cartridge supports the DS family of consoles (DS / DS lite / DSi). If it does, then it is a DS-mode flashcart. | DS flashcarts refer to any flashcart that runs in DS mode.

Most modern DS flashcarts work on the 3DS just as they did on the DS and DSi. [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] re-enables flashcarts that were blocked through 3DS updates, such as the Acekard 2i. The flashcart blacklist has not been updated since system version 6.x (released in 2013), so any flashcart made after that year should work, even on the latest firmware. | Most modern DS flashcarts work on the 3DS just as they did on the DS and DSi.

Old flashcarts that never worked on 3DS or DSi firmware (such as the original R4) can still be used on the 3DS with some workarounds. | Old flashcarts that never worked on 3DS or DSi firmware (such as the original R4) can still be used on the 3DS with some workarounds. | ||
