R4 Nintendo Game Card

Hi Everyone,

I am getting my daughter a Nintendo DS for Christmas and have heard that you can get a R4 card and then download games on to it.

I have also been told that you can buy disks with the games already on and then just put them onto your R4 card and put it into your Nintendo and you have all the games on one card.

Does anyone know where I can get this please? Either in-store or on the internet?
I am in East Yorkshire.

Cheers

    You can get these from www.dealextreme.com although I prefer the DSTT card which does the same.

    i have bought three of these over different times from www. memorybits.co.uk they are really good and if you get stuck with anything you can talk to a 'live' person to get help.i have got a 10% code for them if you need it.

  • Am I right in thinking the main use of these is to play *cough* copies of DS games? Whats the difference between the R4 and the DSTT?

    *cough*yes*cough*

    Cards are much the same, though I believe the DSTT cards are cheaper?

    R4 cards have been out of production for a while and only take up to 2Gb micro SD cards (which is still about 50 games). Most, if not all, for sale now are fake and may or may not work.

    Here's a good site for all the cards available:-

    That was the information I found on a few review sites about R4 vs DSTT.

    Not knowing myself, that's why I added the question mark at the end about the price. There was no mention of them being of a lesser quality.

    I have an R4 revolution which I have been informed is a fake but it works perfectly with a 4GB SDHC card.
    I like it for video and music as well as the games as when my PSP dies I have another option for portable music or watching films in bed :D

  • Try a Cyclos Evolution - apparently they are really good and just require drag and drop and no extra things doing
  • Does anyone know fo anywhere that I can buy the games from on a cd or them put them onto the card for me??
