R4 DSTT

are they different?
i keep noticing a lot of similarity between the two when theyre described
heres what i cam up with
r4 is the system and dstt is the card
am i right?

No, they are both cards, R4 is a lot older than DSTT and it seems that the DSTT is replacing it in terms of most compatible card.

so its just a coincidence they have the same version for updates?
they have the same version for updates right?
1.18 or higher i think

It's just a coincidence, they're both completely different.

one last thing
how do i know which one ive got

You look on the sticker label on the cart or load it on your DS and check the GUI you have..

so which one would be better in your opinion guys?

DSTT probably now.

Indeed, the R4 has an old firmware by now and it hasn't been updated.

the sticker of course!!!
i thought every flashcart is a TTDS and the ones that are different are the systems(r4)

No, it's a flashcart in itself :)
