DS multigame cards?

atwitsend_2

I have heard of quite a few people having these multigame cards for the nintendo DS lites, is there an actual name for these things? I don't wanna buy one from abroad, someone I speak to has offered me one for £40 for my DD.
But I have heard that they are easy to do yourself, anyone know anything about these things?
Excuse my stupidness when it comes to technical things, the last handheld console I used myself was the original gameboy :rotfl:

They're called R4, its the same size as a normal ds game cart obviously, the 1 i use coems with a small memory card which slots into the ds shaped game card and i load games onto it by using a usb looking flash drive

When I did one you had to flash the memory , and the games were crashing and freezing .

Its illegal pirate software if you are using roms , so its never perfect

Walk down to your local underground station and ask at the phone card vendors (or high street) for an R4. Included a 2GB micro SSD card for under £20. Don't pay £40 .....A OS One from Supercard is all you need. looks like this https://www.supercard.cn
