Buy an R4, then you can download as many games as you like. I would buy the new DS.

If by new DS you mean the DSi, then none of the old DS flash carts work with them. In fact, almost all of the new carts that were developed have been blocked by Nintendo with a firmware update.

R4 were one of the most popular flash carts in their day, but they are no longer made or supported. There are several "fake" versions of the R4 around still, trading on the name of the original, but many of them are utter rubbish. If you want a cheap but decent flash cart buy an Acekard (load it with the AKAIO firmware) or Edge from Dealextreme which will cost you around £10 or less. A DSTT flash cart is even less, but not always the most reliable which is why they are around £5. Add an 8Gb Class 6 Transcend microSD from the likes of 7dayshop for about £11 and you have a cart ready to hold up to 200 games.

Go to your friendly local torrent site or even google and search for "nds roms" and make sure you own the originals of any you want to have a back-up of.

Hi, I've just been to Tesco and bought a turquoise DS Lite (not a bundle, just the console) for £70.00. I think it's an offer in all branches and it's for any colour depending on what they have in stock. Best price I've seen.

Hi there

have you heard of www.unlimiteddsdownload.com ?????
I have signed up but I fear it is a con as all there database of games are is a link to torrent sites.


Also - I got dsi a few weeks back and upgraded the firmware straight away - not knowing about the possibilities that acekart offers
now the acekart wont work - and apparently there is a patch - but you need to use a ds to upgrade the acekart ??????? do you know of any places that perhaps rent ds lites so I could do this ??

hope that is all clear - cheers

DO NOT BUY
from that site. Its a copy of a similar site that was shutdown as fraudulent. Im sure i read a post on this site about it.

It looks like a mish mash of HMV and CD wow's website.
