R4DS Tutorial

The R4DS does not have memory, it's only code that enables you to play commercial ROMs on your NDS.
You insert the MicroSD into the R4 cart so you can carry around several MicroSD cards and change them instead of having to buy several R4s.

thanks! i didn't know where to put the microSD card.

Most roms i download here works fine for me for r4ds well, there are new release such as megaman force and glory days 2 nice!!

Now I wish I had a R4. The Megamen and Sims City DS games don't work on M3.

Actually there are two M3 cards, Simply and Lite. Simply is a slot 1 solution for NDS and Lite is a slot 2 solution for GBA. The new games work perfectly fine on Simply if you have the latest firmware.

I don't think there has been a newer firmware released since I downloaded mine. I have the simply.

Yes, but the M3 Lite is actually a slot 2 care for the NDS Lite that plays GBA games. :/

That's really beyond the scope of this topic, but I believe it's just made smaller.

Yes just that, if you wish to discuss it further then create a thread in the Nintendo subforum of the Handheld section.

jc_106 · #70i know, but what are the differences between nds and nds lite?

It's just smaller and has different brightness settings for the screen. Other than that, there are no other differences.
