R4 questions
 
I got a couple 4000 point 360 cards, but just got my daughter a DS and want to get some Mario games for myself while dropping a deuce. I'm looking for Mario 64. I could trade you something like 1 game per card or something. I dunno. I'm not taking these to eBay to get more value per card, so don't bring it up. Also, I've done transactions on here before with people like Kane Knight, so I am legit.



-edit- I guess I'm up for offers on any games you are done playing.

Kane Knight 04-16-2008 09:54 AM

Yeah, he's def. legit.

G, while I don't have much time to explain it right now. For the DS there is a thing called the R4. It basically is a way to download games online for free so you don't have to pay for them. You put a mini sd card in it and just download any game from online. They play exactly like real games. Overall cost is about 60 bucks I believe, so price of 2-3 games. I would suggest getting that to save money. if you want more details let me know, I got one and so do some of my friends, they work brilliantly.

Boomer 04-16-2008 01:37 PM

I'll trade you Mario Kart.

What, that's fucking awesome. If I ever go online will I get burned or anything? Where do I get these R4's.

G 04-16-2008 01:44 PM

Also, how much room are the game files. Like would a 2 gig be good for lots of games or is it kind of a swap out what you want when you want to play it sort of deal.

Ok.



Can you format the cartridge so it doesn't have your crap on it.

Boomer 04-16-2008 01:50 PM

Just formatted it.

G 04-16-2008 01:56 PM

pm me your addy and i'll do the same when i receive yours.

G 04-16-2008 01:57 PM

ALSO, did you keep the manual.

Boomer 04-16-2008 01:57 PM

Yes. It's all there.

G 04-16-2008 02:03 PM

Ok cool. That's 1 down.

Biggest game I've seen is about 120mb and that is very rare so on a 2gb card you can have loads of games. I've got a 1gb and usually got 20+ games on there.

As for online, Nintendo doesn't ban people and I've even been online with a hacked MK with new tracks on it.

G 04-16-2008 02:34 PM

Nice. I've tried looking on Amazon and Ebay but cannot figure out what is what.

Vietnamese Crippler 04-16-2008 05:14 PM

You can find Micro SD cards (with adapter) for around $10 for the 2GB. Just look around online or wait for a deal to pop up on here --> www.bensbargains.net

Example: http://www.meritline.com/pqi-2gb-micro-sd-card.html

Extreme Angle 04-16-2008 05:38 PM

yes, r4s pwn

G 04-16-2008 06:40 PM

Ok, so I went and bought some stuff at EB. New SMB (I need a game until MK arrives) and the Nyko grip/charger thingy. Makes holding it a hell of a lot more comfortable.

I want a case, but nothing they had tickled my fancy. I would like to know what accessories you have for your DS, mainly which kind of case you use for it.

Yeah, they do almost nothing to stop cheaters, and their online doesn't stop pirated software, either. Kinda ironic, considering how bad they crippled online play.

Funky Fly 04-17-2008 06:07 PM

Really? I might jus invest in some of these shits then.

G 04-19-2008 06:34 PM

Boomer I have Pm'ed you your code. Thank you.


I have 2 cards left and I'm hoping to get Contra 4.

G 04-19-2008 07:09 PM

Yay just ordered a R4

G 04-19-2008 07:10 PM

G 04-19-2008 07:14 PM

HEY before I order a MicroSD card, should I go MicroSDHC instead? Like, I'm sure you are writing data onto the card whenever you save your game or something, or will I be fine with a regular and cheaper MicroSD?

Vietnamese Crippler 04-19-2008 11:31 PM

No, Micro SDHC is NOT the same as the standard Micro SD

G 04-19-2008 11:36 PM

Oh, I thought it was like Sandisk's Extreme cards that write faster.

G 04-19-2008 11:40 PM

This look fine or what.

Vietnamese Crippler 04-20-2008 12:28 AM

:y:

Side note: The HC stands for high capacity and requires different hardware for being read.

Extreme Angle 04-20-2008 08:45 AM

I'm sure with a big enough micro sd you could put a sega megadrive/gensis or snes emulator on it and then put every game out on it and it would work like a charm.

Silent 04-21-2008 01:28 AM

R4 is the best thing for the DS. :D

Good thing they never charged my card. :nono:

Vietnamese Crippler 05-16-2008 02:25 PM

Yea, I went to go buy one from there and I found out about all the shit going on.

That's why I went here www.modchip.ca and ordered the Edge instead :p

The one Boomer posted is 100000x better for DS games.

Blackcats is pretty good for just about anything else, though. But I hate how those bastards banned me because I was inactive for 2 months :mad:

Mayo 05-17-2008 03:39 PM

Do those 4000 point cards work on Xbox live accounts with Canadian addresses? I read somewhere that they don't :?:

G 05-17-2008 04:59 PM

I dunno, but I sold them all.



I have a folder with 186473 DS roms, but no way to play them. :(

Vietnamese Crippler 05-17-2008 06:26 PM

Just go buy the one I posted a few back
