The very first flash cartridge that is compatible with the Nintendo 3DS is the Acekard 3 3DS. It is able 
to play the DS roms as well ashomebrew game for the DSi and of course, run the games for the 3DS. However, it is a fact that it simply serves like a modified version of the earlier Acekard 2i that has a firmware compatible with the Nintendo 3DS, with the packaging as well a newly-designed logo. With regard to compatibility concerns, there is nothing new with the AK3 DS. It would also be difficult to say which among the two is more effective, although the latter is backed by a strong development team which can surely be destined to succeed.
