    I brought this item up some time ago here and it was roundly rejected as a Bad Thing.

    My guess is that although it is similiar to an R4/M3 in appearance, the firmware for this cart is going to be updated less often and appears to contain some limitations intended to prevent you from running anything you want- i.e. back up ROM's. It also appears to have a limitation on the rate of MP3 encoding, but I don't know enough to know if that is serious.

    It appears to come with a 512 card, whereas the R4 comes with a 1GB card usually.

    I would guess this would work, but for my money I think I would rather have a cart that will likely run anything I want it to run, would probably have it's firmware updated more often, that I know would work with a 2 GB card if I wanted it to, has less of a tone of control, and that likely has a larger support community.

    Your mileage may vary.

    HTH.

    my cousin got this, and i gotta say, it sucks.

    you cannot play ds roms on it, just homebrew apps, music and videos. games that it as are like mini games like battleship.
