DS - too much choice

Chairman Meow - if you have bells in your pockets, drag them to your balance and they'll be added :)

Similar for attaching fruit to letters. Write your letter and it'll appear in the right pane waiting for you to drop it off at the PO. Drag a piece of fruit from your pocket onto the letter and it'll be attached :) The whole pocket screen works the same, dragging things to where you need them. You can create bags of money too by messing with your balance.

You know too, if you deposit money in your account at the PO you earn monthly interest.

Also, go to the main gate every now and again and ask the guard on the left to look at lost property. Sometimes you find furniture there. Same for the recycling bin at the town hall (the green thing bottom right corner).

Today I am mostly going to be replacing some of my orange trees with coconut trees, because coconuts are worth 500 bells each, whereas your native fruit are worth 100 bells each.

Also, if you are planting non-native fruits, cut down a non-fruit-bearing tree, dig up the stump, and plant it there. Apparently it's guaranteed to produce fruit that way, instead of being barren. I don't know if it works for money trees too, but I've done that with mine I planted yesterday just in case. I don't know what happens if you plant them where fruit-producing trees were though.
 
I feel left out this thread now. I'm going to have to start playing Animal Crossing. I've been trying to avoid it.
 
Woohoo my favourite DS related website is back! And you can the new Bombman there too! :cool:

Cool! Ta for that. I don't know what this is and I know it will be in Japanese but I want :D

Where is a decent place to buy an R4 cartridge? I did try to search this thread but "R4" is below minimum word length. I'm considering buying a DS you see, but resent paying for games :)
 
They are advertised on many webshops, but most have no stock, and being the lunar new year in China (where most are shipped from due to legistlations) there's no hurry to start shipping.
You could get lucky on Amazon or even luckier on Ebay.
Cheapest your looking is around £30 then you need to add a MicroSD card on top + delivery.
I ordered a big batch direct from HK on 18-01-08 and i'm still waiting :(

I still have unlimited access to as many as I want, just not as cheap as I would like to pay.

I have helped many people on here aquire an R4 ;)

Cheers, I'll have a quick look around ebay then. I'm not in a rush, don't own a DS yet, but I will buy one and I'm thinking of getting my hands on an R4 before they get clamped down on. I assume from your posts that you sell them then? If so, give me a pm when you have some.
 
I sell them as quick as I buy them, so if you are stuck for one just drop me a pm.
ps... I'm a non profit organisation (on U75 at least ;) )

Cool cool, I'm gonna build up a collection of downloads once my broadband connection gets sorted out next week, then I'll be in touch.

BTW, I presume they're easy to use? Has anyone put a guide up on here?

What's this? How is it different from the R4? Why is it cheaper? Is it inferior?

Try getting your hands on one! I got one for a friend around Xmas - it took me a month (I'd cross ordered an R4 with Addy :D). I tried to order another from the same place, but they appear to be sold out world wide. They do much the same thing as the R4- although some say build quality is inferior. Just get your hands on one before they ban them!

The DSTT card has many issues.
Updates are not as frequent and there are many rom issues still not addressed that the R4 has fixed.
The build quality is very poor.
The menu system does not read the Rom data but relies upon the Filename for Game information.
The menu does not put the Roms in alphabetical order.
Also heard of problems with the spring release mechanism that the first 'White' R4's suffered with.
I can get TT cards for a fiver cheaper than the R4's but I personaly wouldn't promote them.
They are ok for a 'second' card if your not fussy.

A good R4 alternative seems to be the Edge card, but I havn't personaly tested one to make further comment.
 
This is my latest DS 'aquisition' via the R4.

"Professor Leyton and the Curious Village"

It's a sweet, puzzle solving RPG with some very nice animation (Studio Ghibili influenced mixed with "Arisocrats" era Disney). The puzzles are good brain-training fodder and the story, so far, is interesting enough to keep me wanting to know what is going on.

The faux-English accents of one of the characters "Luke" is a bit grating but not enough to put you off.

Perfect for playing on commuter train journeys as I was doing this morning:)

Think it has just come out or is just coming out in the UK. More info in the review linked below

I'm playing that too - its really good. :)
 
I started playing it but the dialogue grated so much I didn't bother playing more...not a big puzzle only game fan tbh though...

Yeah, Luke's voice still annoys me a bit but later in the game you mainly get dialogue boxes rather than voice acting.

Part of the reason I like it is that it is a good "pick it up, put it down" game and I don't have to worry about being in the middle of some big battle or cut scene when the train is pulling into Paddington :D
 
I've been playing Bomberman Land 2, fucking excellent fun, 8 player over two screens! They've sorted some of the niggles with the first one too. Going to try it online as soon as my connection probs are sorted.

Yeah - I think I might have to get that. Never played Bomberman but I've been told I'd like it!
 
Is anyone else constantly honing they have games on the R4? I think I'm getting as much fun out of trying to make it the ultimate gaming machine, with a game for every mood, as I am playing with the damn thing. :D

:D:D:D

That's what I've been doing, sifting the new releases, rotating out games, new games in so I've the best set for my gaming wants at any moment. :cool:
