from what i understand any 2gb sd card is good as long as you format it with 64kb clusters, the bigger the clusters the slower the access time on the card.I want to go ahead and purchase a new 2GB MicroSD card. Only question is: Which is the best? I seen the Kingston being cheap due to it's brand...let me know so I can move forward in my decision. Thanks!

I dont suggest throwing it away, it has a lot of programs you can use for your R4.i threw it away, its the same one you download off the internet, when they make the R4 they make a cd with the latest firmware but by the time you get it, the firmware is usually old.

Hey, I use the rom trimmer on the disc every time I get a new rom (which is almost every day). So if you think that over, it is pretty useful.well most of the programs on there are outdated, and some place like bamboo gaming dont even give it to you, i did not need anything on that cd but maybe someone will.
lol, I think that might ruin your GCI was gonna put it on my Gamecube.

Hmmm i purchased R4 and 2X2GB SanDiskMicroSD(Thats 4GBwhere are you buying your R4 from here is a great deal.$43 dollars for a R4 and it comes with free shipping and a 1 gb kingston micro sd.http://www.dealextre...ils.dx/sku.1459probably one of the best deals out there on the R4, and i have ordered about 3 of them from this site and it took about 2 weeks (10 days), for them to deliver it to me, which with free shipping is understandable.
) for a total cost of $120 and received an extra copy of R4 absolutety Free with Free P&Pordered on the 14/6 arrived 19/6 (which equals on 3rd working day) due to no post being delivered on weekends in the my country of residency = me loving my DS immensely:P;)

Thank CoolMosChanging it is really, really simple.1. Download the English firmware (1.10)2. Download the patcher, either here or here.3. Make a directory and unrar the patcher there.4. From the firmware, extract _DS_MENU.DAT and place it in the directory where the patcher is.5. Start the patcher, and answer the questions.6. You now have a new _DS_MENU.DAT in the directory, and the former one renamed to _DS_MENU.DAT.old.7. Put the 1.10 firmware you downloaded on the R4DS.8. Replace the standard _DS_MENU.DAT by the one you created when patching it.9. Start your engines.10. Smile.I was informed this should allow you to use the English 1.10 on the Chinese R4DATA FILE FOR THE CHINESE VERSIONOR HERE

A lot (two words) is an informal phrase meaning "many." It can take an adjective, for example, "a sizeable lot." Example: Karl needed a lot of time for the job.Allot means "to distribute between or among." It has the same root as lottery. Example: He allotted three breaks a day to everyone in the department.Alot does not exist as a word. (taken from English plus.comPet peeve of mine, sorry.That method was said to work for many others with the same problem.

Rom trimming is very useful but some games tend to have minor problems with multiplayer modes when you trim the rom (ie: running slower or crashing).It depends on the file size. You should trim all the games you downloadThis is a good program to have, read this for more information.

its a problem with the R4 trimmer, the trimmer takes too much off the rom, its a known problem that the R4 trimmer trims the wifi data off to save room, and people have complained about it on other forums, it is recommended you use a another rom trimmer, if you want wifi.http://gbatemp.net/i...topic=45146&hl=Do you know anything about the R4 buddy?

Hello, I hope you all can help me.I recently found out that you could patch a chinese R4 to English. I live very near china and bought the R4 not knowing it was English.I managed to patch it to version 1.09 by copying files from something i downloaded.When it comes to version 1.10 to avoid the save problem i extract the 4 files, patch _DS_MENU and put it on my R4.After this i tried it on my R4 but it just comes up with a blank screen.I really hope someone could help me, is it the questions im answering.I know i must sound like a n00b as this is my first post but I would be very greatful.Thanks in advance

Okay I got the R4 and I'm trying to update the kernel. But when I download it, it is a rar file. What am I supposed to do with that? Just put it on to my SD card?

Download WinRar and/or 7-zipIn computing, RAR is a proprietary file format for data compression and archiving, developed by Eugene Roshal (hence the name RAR: Roshal ARchive).Using a program you can uncompress the rar file.Download and install winRAR and 7-Zip and right click the downloaded file go to Extract Files.
