I buy my stuff from Deal Extreme. They have fair prices and I've bought stuff multiple times without issues.

I'm having an issue I'm hoping I can get some help from. I got an R4 III upgrade and I set it up with english firmware. The problem is that when I try to use an Action Replay database to load up my cheats it will not register the cheat file. When I upload the cheat database that comes with the firmware though it works, but it looks like it's all in chinese. I'm not sure if I need to bridge the R4 or if this is an issue that I should be able to work around. Can you help?

That's the brand new model, so nobody knows too much about it. But also given such, it should work better then the current R4 series. Plus if you upgrade to the DSi, you're set for it. Plus it supports SDHC cards, so you can store a lot on there.

You need to extract the .nds files from the RARs, using a program like WinRAR or 7-Zip.

If the R4 has built in functions for loading GBA games onto an expansion pack, then you can...with that expansion pack. But with just the R4 alone, you can't. Given that it's similar to the M3 series which those can, the R4 should be able to.

I bought mine at gamebygame.com, they are out of cali so fast shipping and i got my r4 w/ 2G micro SD and case and screen protector for less then $30.00. The only thing was w/ the updated firmware already on there, the moonshell was un Japanesewhere 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.

I was wondering if anybody knew whether there are or will be any patches for a couple of roms that won't work with the R4, namely the FF:CC games, soniccles and the new M&L3

http://www.ishopvide...es-cid-158.htmlWhich of the models would you suggest?My main concern is compatibility for ROMS and stability.R4 still seems a better choice from Cyclo or Acecard(unless I missed something).My DS-Xtreme cannot handle the newer games, so it's imperative I get one with good compatibility, and R4 seems to be working the best with patched ROMs.

Hmm I still cant figure it out. First I had firmware 1.09, I thought everything worked fine, but the games wouldnt be saved even though it said it saved. And then I formated the card and downloaded firmware 1.18 but now when I turn the ds on, the screen is white and it says "menu?".

To update, you need to leave all the system files you had for your R4 and copy and move the update files to the root of you Micro SD. If you do this widows will ask you to overwrite any data that is named the same, do this and your firmware will be updated. So you need to place the firmware from your mini-cd which came with your R4 on your micro SD once again, and then you have to move the update files to your Micro SD. It's as easy as that.

I am interested in getting one of these... I have a dsi, so I need the r4i right? And also, I am probably going to put a lot of stuff on it, so I want a 8gb sd card. I was wondering if anyone knew if this was a good site to buy it from? http://www.r4-ds-car...intendo_dsi/r4i

I was told to post here, so if this seems horribly off-topic, well, don't blame me.Luminous Arc (U) is crashing during one of the story sequences of Chapter 4. Some guard dude says something and his voice sample stutters endlessly, leaving me unable to continue. You'd think turning voices off would help, but it doesn't. I was about to upload my .sav file but then I noticed that my microSD card reader was missing. I tried booting it with YSmenu, but it didn't help.Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I just installed YSmenu on my R4 and whenever I load at DS game it starts loading and it stops about 80% through and I've left it for about 20 minutes and it hasn't moved.Thanks in advance.

If anything doesn't load fully in less than a minute, it's not going to.Usually I'd suggest replacing the ROM that doesn't load, but since you just installed YSmenu, try replacing that first.
