Just ordered one of these from BMDs link. Whats the chances of getting it by Xmas do you think? And what should I be downloading - what are the fles called? *am excited*
My mate ordered one on Tuesday, at work yesterday she hadn't got her dispatch email yet.
I had an order posted on 27/11, it's not here yet. I reckon you'll be lucky to get it for Xmas but they are sooo worth it.
Just do a search for nds roms on the torrent sites, they come in bundles, just got 500 meself. As a measure for the size of sd card you need, I've got a 1gb card here for my mates daughter, it has 9 games on and not even half full, think I'll put some music on for her aswell.

The company that make the R4 are being took to court to stop them supplying the UK directly, so grab them while you can or buy imports.
I can get them with a 1GB card in the UK for £34. Well worth it.
If anyone is struggling to get one, I'm picking some up tommorrow or tuesday - just let me know if you want one.

Still waiting for mine.
Have you had a despatch email CM?
I ordered some stuff just before you and I got half of it on Tuesday.
The other half was posted a few days later (27/11 I think) still not got that.
E2A: Their customer services is usually quite good although they take a few days getting back.

No dispatch email yet and I think I ordered on 8/12, so probably too late. I've managed to delete the tracking email though so fuck knows.

Oh bollocks - I asked Dealextreme if mine had been despatched and they told me they are having stock problems and have offered me a refund. Does anyone have another stockist or should I hang on and wait for dealextreme?
I did read about an alternative they were selling that's cheaper. About £12.50.
Think it might be this one

thread on it here

The M3 simply does the same job too, although they're sold out too.

I get them off a trader at the local PC fair, but all month they have been increasing their prices.
Its getting harder to source them in the UK and traders are buying from HK and are having to pay import duty along with shipping costs.
I was getting them with a 1GB card for £34 at the beginig of December, but today they wanted £45
The R4 alone was £35 and that was buying 10+ units.
There were the cheaper Supercards available for £35 inc. a 1GB card, but they are inferior to the R4.
If people still want them after xmas, I can get more 30th Dec / 1st Jan but cant give a definate price until I buy them myself.
...Just to add, I'm not making anything off these at all ( unless you buy some dvd's of roms off me too
)

Right, In anticipation of getting a DS I may as well get one of these as I don't really want to be forking out for Wii and DS games, and i don't want to chip my wii.
If I use this R4 thing does it have any side effects? Effect online play? Stop working if Ninty do a firmware update or stop the DS working full stop?
I assume it's just something that slides into the Cartridge slot that has an SD card slotted in with what software you want to run right?
Does it also accept 2gb sd cards does anyone know as everyone mentions 1gb?
Sorry for all the questions, addy i have also sent you a PM.

The R4 works exactly as a normal game cart does except it will hold as many games as the Micro SD card will allow.
The R4 will also allow you to use 'Homebrew' games and utilities along with movie and picture files.
You simply put the Micro SD card into the USB stick porvided & put the stick into your PC then drag n drop the downloaded 'GAME'.NDS file onto the card.
Remove the card from the stick, put it into the R4 and jobs a good 'un.
There have been very few issues with games not having full network function, but these are usually sorted out with a new release of R4 System files which you can download from the R4 website.
