    Hello All

    First post, I need help.

    I visiting China from Iowa and I will be in Beijing for 3 more days only.

    Just this past Christmas, I got my kids got 2 Nintendo Ds Lites and few games (they are expensive).

    I did some search and read a little that there are Rom/Flash Cards that will allow you to play Roms (or backup games etc.)

    I happened to get on this forum and read about R4DS.

    Can you guys help and suggest what I need to get from the “electronics market here” in order to play some games. Are there games that come preloaded on some flash cards etc?

    I have coworkers who have been here before, but noone knows about any hardware for NDS such as R4DS.

    Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction. Some links would be helpful (I’ve been told to print and take it to the market to get what you need)

    Thanks Again

    Answer:

    1)Don't get an R4. You are just asking for trouble. SSpend some time reading more of the posts in this forum.

    2)If you are afraid of having problems in the future or getting "ripped off" buy in the states from a reliable reseller.

    I recommend the EZ Flash V, others prefer DS One.

    Remember that you will have to fly 6000 miles if the card is defective or otherwise.

    I have bought from China several times and if it works, it's OK. If it doesn't, chalk it up to "money wasted and lesson learned".

    Sometimes a "bargain" isn't a bargain. If you want to do yourself and your kids a favor, my recommendation is to buy a CycloDS from RHS locally.

    Forget about R4,because there is not real R4ds one in the market. If someone brag that he can restock R4 for you, just leave him alone.

    For the flash card, I recommand you to buy R4 SDHC for its up to 4GB capacity. I know Chinese will recommend you to buy such bundle sales. In fact, you really needed the memory card, right. But pay attention that make the bargain as much as you can. Flashcards are so cheap nowdays.

    The point is not the items from China, but who you are buying from. Like you said R4 which was made in China, you have to pick out the one you trusted. Just make Google tell you who is the best one that sell flashcard IN China.
