The first Sky3ds review (English) is available in GBA,wrote by a tester. They shared some play experience about sky3ds and i made some summary and post here for sharing
The connectors are protected with a grill, much like on an original 3DS cartridge, On the lip of the cartridge you can see three things – the microSD card slot (which is not spring-loaded, thus more reliable that its spring-loaded counterparts), a red plastic button for switching games and a blue LED light which signifies whenever the cartridge is switching games. On the front of the cartridge you can see the SKY3DS flashcart logo ,see the pix here

1.sky3ds only has 10 non-rewritable slots for games, if you want to play more games, you have to purchase another sky3DS cartridge,but i belive,the team will fix this problem soon,after all,they are powerful.
2.sky3ds need a special program to flash games onto TF card,the special program named ” Disk Writer Tool”.

1.it’s completely plug and play and hassle-free from this point onwards.
