there you go mate have a read - http://www.r4ds.com/product-en.htm you will also need a micro sd memory card , this holds all your games and fits inside the r4ds . a 2 gig micro sd memory card should hold 40 - 50 games . as for the games im not sure if im allowed to tell you where to get em so ill just say google for nintendo ds roms ) woof811.
woof, Actually, it's permitted. Here's an old thread about it... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/516687
woof811 - all seems too much for me - have a reasonable pc knowledge - but my download skills are as far as limewire. But i have 2 kids that cost me a fortune in games - PS3 & Wii for xmas - after 2 psp last year and a ds. There is a guy at my wifes job charging €100 for the r4 with 20 games - does this sound like robbery? Or is the cost of a r4/sd card & dowloading time make that reasonable??
