I was wondering if you could have more than 12 themes on your R4? and, what the difference of choosing Fat 16 and 32?

fat16 is the file system used when windows 95 was around, they switched to fat32 when windows 98 came out, and now they use ntsf for xp/vista, some older slot 2 flash cards like ez flash iv only support fat16.

Heh, thats a brilliant cheats list, bob. Just a question, what software do you need to use to create those cheat databases? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need the Cheat Database Editor which is available off the official R4 website. It's pretty simple enough to get the hang of, make either a cheat.dat or a usrcheat.dat, then open it up in the Databse Editor and add games and codes from there. There are also premade usrcheat.dats floating around, I believe the firmware package has a cheat.dat file in it with some games on it already.

Thank you for telling me. I needed to add some codes for pokemon Pearl. You, my good man/woman, are a life(read as "computer game") saver.

Try looking in your own topic before posting. The same site I gave you also has a 2gb card bundled with the R4.

Because you're downloading the korean version. Go to the main website and click on the downloads tab on top. Then choose the latest English version.

Is there a good slot 2 device to go along with this card to play GBA games? and where can I purchase it? I obviously don't need something that plays NDS roms, I just want something that doesn't stick out of system. I saw the ezflash card but it seems to only hold 1 GBA game at a time.

Hi thanks for the guide and I managed to read through the first 10 pages of what followed but.....I became a bit confused at a few points the first being I've got a English DS and have just ordered a R4 (English) can I only download English/Europe games or can I download a Japanese game and play it if I want to.2nd can I get a virus on my DS if Im only playing games and not messing with homebrew things.3rd Do any pc virus scanners detect any of these viruses.Sorry if I posted in the wrong section and thanks for any replies (if any) :P

Okay... I have Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (J) and since new roms aren't Cheat-Supported by R4. I have found a few codes and cheats and I want to put them into my game. How do I do this?

This is from the first post:

USING ACTION REPLAY CHEAT CODE SYSTEMCan the R4 use cheat codes on DS roms?The answer is yes.The R4 firmware 1.08 and above comes with cheat codes on selected games, simply click Y to go to the cheat code option screen.If the game has cheat codes already supported a small box will appar on the bottom of the screen.Posted Image(sorry its in chinese, the red circled square simply says Press Y)When you click Y on a cheat code enabled game as Shown in the picture above.you will be sent to the cheat code list, mark which cheat codes you want and hit save.Posted Image(The top screen is the codes you want, the bottom screen in chinese says save selected cheat code selection, save and exit, quit, you will need to save the codes you want turned on, the R4 remembers your setting so whenever you start the rom now, it will have cheat codes enabled, to turn off press Y again and turn them off remembering to hit save)List of supported Games.http://www.r4ds.com/product-2-en.htm

If you want to add cheats to your R4 download the Cheat editor herehttp://www.r4ds.com/download-en.htmthen go to codejunkies and get the cheat codes for the rom you want to use cheats on.The cheat program is rather simple to use. After creating a cheat database move it into the _system_ folder of your micro.

The save file is in the same location of the ROM, its like that so the R4 can find and load the save file more easily.Having a save file in a separate directory is possible but your save won't be loaded then.
