DS R4 Card

[Extreme Angle]

Ok gonna buy one when all my ps2 stuff sells on ebay, are they actually worth it?
I'm gonna buy the 1gb package but if I need 2gb i can still just use a normal 2gb memory card can't I?
Anyway post in here the stuff you do with it and how you do it please :)

Can you download and play actual DS games or isit just snes games and stuff?

R4 is basically an exact copy of M3, which is what have. I have never had any problems with mine.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yes, you can download and play actual DS games with it. It's pretty handy to have a load of games on one cart.

As for how to do it, just read the instructions that come with it. Simple.

Yeah I got one. Would suggest you get the 2gb micro sd. But yeah, easily best thing I bought ever. Saves you so much money, allows you to play games you never would have. I use it for DS games only, been meaning to look into SNES emulator for it. Also got some apps for it like DS Organize which is pretty pimp. Lot of different shit you can do with it, but mainly I just play games with it. Shame can't play GBA games with the R4DS. But yeah, I guarantee you'll love it.

Don't waste your time with the 1gb, the 2gb is a way better option. I have the M3 Simply, it rocks! Never by a freaking game again, wooo!

[Extreme Angle]

Ok gonna buy a 2gb, where do you download the ds games and stuff, do I need an emulator first?
Also can you use the games online?

[PapaGeorgio]

The ds games work just like regular ones, can play online and that no problem. Just google DS roms or DS Homebrew for different games/applications. As for emulator, don't really need on for DS games but if you do other system stuff you will. The R4 will come with a cd-rom to put stuff the microsd card.

Ok just downloaded a ds emulator with pokemon diamond and pearl, when I actually get the M3 or R4 i am putting it on there :)

[Bad Company]

I got my roms from torrents, got like 1000 in 1, but had to get pokemon etc seperately, cause they are new and aren't part of the rom pack.
Also, make sure you get the latest version of the software, all you have to do is copy it to the SD card, so its easy to change. But especially when it comes to things like the mp3 software, you want the latest. :D

[Extreme Angle]

Yeah demonoid FTW :)
1000 in 1 randoms? Like nes, snes, genesis, also do N64 Roms work with it?
and how do you get the software?

[Bad Company]

the r4 website i guess. It only does DS i think, but there are fuckloads of DS games

Take your pick from those. Download a few, experiment with them, and I strongly recommend SNEmulDS, BeUp Live and DS Organise.

[Bad Company]

Yeah, but given it's not 2007 anymore, get a bigger Micro SD card! :D

[Extreme Angle]

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Yeah, but given it's not 2007 anymore, get a bigger Micro SD card! :D
