I was suss when they changed the image on the website and changed the price

Yeah, it's not good.

The original ones have been great and have kept the other half quiet for hours (and hours, and hours, and hours), but this latest one is a shabby affair

Even the Micros SD > USB dongle is cheap and crappy!

Ive made a comment on the site but it appears to be blanked. What use is a starred review if negative results are blanked?

Raistlin · 25-02-2009, 19:58

That's why I didn't bother. I get the same problem with amazon, I've left a couple of negative reviews there and they never get published.

My other concern is that I'm waiting for something else from these clowns that's currently 'out of stock' - if it's not here by the end of the week I'll have all the fun of trying to get that order cancelled as well.....

Sorry im a bit new to this idea you can get a memory card for a ds and i can play music etc on it. how cool i thought they were just for games. Just as i thought i have it sussed you confuse the issue by saying the R4 card from memorybits is not so great now!!! For us novices (and thats being kind) where would you recommend to try for a decent R4 card.

27-02-2009, 23:51

perhaps it might be worth looking for a different kinda cartridge

I got 2 of these a couple of weeks ago from memorybits and I've not had any problems. Maybe I've just been lucky. I agree that the USB dongle is rather crap.

Probably teaching my Granny to suck eggs but did you put the latest system software on these cards?

I gave another review basically saying whats the use of a rating system when negative ratings are ignored and I doubt I will use your company in the future. The have just sent me an email

Can't say I'm surprised.

hiyya all, recently purchased an r4 card, works all good, just wondering if anybody else has had the same issue as i, after so many saves of pokemon pearl, when opening the game it says the save file corrupt and has been erased. the mrs gets quite fan then it erases, i think its funny but she dosent have the same opinion lol, any ideas?

28-02-2009, 20:31

back it up onto your pc every now and then

just seen this

Quote:

Sales of the R4 cartridge, which allows users to play pirated DS games, have been outlawed in Japan.
According to Kotaku, the Tokyo District Court has granted an injunction against the Chinese manufacturers who produce the R4. As a result, it's officially illegal to sell the cart, and the R4 has already disappeared from shops.

But laws here are likely to be different. MrModChip I think it was recently won a court case for selling modchips because they were deemed to be for other uses other than piracy

rogerdraig · 28-02-2009, 22:44

they mean my kids dont have to take hundreds of pounds worth of games out with them which would far out weigh the cost of replacing the ds if lost

and gives them all the games we have bought to play rather than picking and choosing ( saves a ton of time and arguments )

the board would have to ban discussion of mp3 players if they were to ban these lol

any one know any that work with the new dsi as i might get myself one of those

28-02-2009, 22:46

as far as I am aware the console is not much different however I dunno you can let us know lol (info on der web say they do not from a short looksee)
