Would this work on a mates old chunky DS?
Fantasic price on this, I spent at least 100 last year for a similar setup.

Thanks again.

Anyone got any experience with the company?

AFAIK ordering an R4DS is as safe off dealextreme as it could possibly be.
On the forums on the website though there were some complaints about MP3 players not being the same colour and actually trying to install a virus on a PC!

I order an R4 on Thurs so it should be here in 3-4 working days

Yeah, i am actually encourage by all the negative feedback the leave on their site

I was looking at the mini helicopters they were selling before, and there were pages upon pages of people saying they didnt work, and a moderator for the site giving advice on things to try to fix the problems. In fairness tho, thats the product they're selling. With the m3's they have i'd expect no problems.

Have an M3 myself, and the build quality is excellent, and never had any trouble with it.

One for myself and one for each of my sisters. Would have bought a 4th for my girlfriend too but she hasn't got a ds yet.

And to think I was nearly going to buy a DS-X 16Gb for $130! :eek:

Kristok

This sounds awesome device for this price. Just ordered one for my DS with bundled 1GB memory.

mcgovern

Anybody get their's yet or hear anything? I haven't even gotten a confirmation mail and re-sending my password doesn't send me a mail....

[Edit]I gave them the wrong e-mail address. It only left Hong Kong on Wednesday, very slow to send it.... and you can't track it further than that.[/Edit]

How do you put the roms on the sd card ?

Drag and drop afaik...

Put them on the root directory of your card. Mine arrived yesterday, paid the extra 10 dollah for EMS postage. Only took 5 days for the shipping.

I'm thinking theres some sort of SD adaptor involved? Can any one else elaborate on this - this looks like a great deal



EDIT: Okay, i checked out the usage instructions further down. There appears to be an adaptor + card reader. I guess these are used for grabbing the files ?

Mr E

You get a tiny USB SD Card reader with it (like a little USB memory stick with a slot at the end for the microSD).

Check out the package screenshots in the link at the top of this thread.
