    Hi everyone.

    I am currently pressing hard to purchase a R4 cart for my DS I just got.

    I am trying to find fast shipping in the US to ohio. The best I can find is here.

    http://www.realhotstuff.com/shopping_cart.php


    For 40 bucks I get the R4 and for 22 more I get express shipping (2 day I think)

    Is that a good deal since I want it fast? Is that site reliable? What do you guys think. I just want it to hulk around my 5 games so I dont have to take carts with me (i travel a good bit)

    I have the following games I just got with the DS!

    Hotel Dusk Room 215
    Into the Blue
    Into the Blue 2
    Trace Memory
    Super Mario 64

    I love Hotel Dusk, its quickly going up my favorites list lol.

    Anyway please let me know what you all think!:thumbsup:

    I can't comment on the site but the R4 is awesome. Got one myself with the 512 card, pure bliss. Doesn't beat my PSP though.

    I got a couple of cards while in hong kong. The chinese ones are cheaper and you can patch them into english. The chinese ones cost me 190HKD and the english ones were 220HKD.

    I bought an R4 too (for homebrew and backup, not for piracy ofcourse), and it's great indeed. I don't know that webshop, but if you want a list of reliable ones, just look here: http://www.r4ds.com/world-en.htm
    Got mine from one of those too. :)

    Edit: I just saw that webshop is on this list too, so I guess it's reliable.

    Ok I went ahead and bought the thing. I didnt get a card bundeled with it though.

    I paid 40 bucks plus 20 for next day shipping!

    So with the R4 the only thing I need to buy other then it is a MicroSD card and im all set? I take it theres no way for me to dump the real DS games I have so I will have to find predumped roms for the internets?

    i think there is some homebrew programs to dump the carts, but im not sure if they worked 100% correctly, and im pretty sure you needed a slot 2 device
