    Morning All

    :wave: G&B - sorry LO is poorly again

    :xmastree:Hols for me now too - I was shattered last night - the kids were climbing the walls at school - it didn't help that they couldn't go outside because the playgrounds were too icy.

    Going to get some flying done

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue:money::snow_grin - DS wanted to add a couple of smileys!

    Has anyone ever bought an r4 card for the ds....are they any good? how do they work?....I have no idea

    Both me and DD have one in our DS, you can download what are called roms onto a sd card which then slots into the r4 card with the correct software. Some of the newer games now don't work with this card so the dstt card is better for this. I have done quite a few of them now and am waiting on some coming which I ordered 4th December, got 2 ppl wanting them for christmas presents :eek:
