Where Can I Go To Buy R4DS?

Exactly what the title says. Where is the best site to go to buy an R4DS?

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.19236$6.04 for the R4 and you get free shipping.

You may want to consider getting a better card, such as CycloDS, AceKard 2 or Edge.

How much do they cost?

From $20-30 to $60. They're much better.

The R4DS cartridges in shops are fake and absoloutely terrible

mine is a real R4 and i've only had to patch one game.... the rest i had to use cheats on.... but it worked :)

I know tha nxpgame.com has sold the real r4 cards in just the past few months. 5 cards purchased 300 games downloaded and no problems yet. I've always gotten the sandisk card instead of the kingston just because the first one worked and I don't mess with a good thing. They aren't the cheapest site but $20 for the bundle plus shipping is a great deal to me for quality. They used to be on r4ds.com's site as a link. I also have an email from them affirming they have the real cards or money back. You could always ask for that guarantee before puchase.

Even if it's a real R4 cart then it's still horrible. Think about it, the guys who manufactured the cart have stopped because of a law suit, they won't be maintaining it - so why exactly buy it? The R4 was good yes, but 2 years ago, nowadays it's the worst possible cart to buy, you have to either patch or use these cheats to get it to work, it's WAY too much effort when you can just pay another $10 and get an acekard that requires barely any patching or cheating fixes. Or if you're not short on money then a CycloDS.

Ahhh what the hell? I bought mine for 48$ from DealExtreme. :(

well they keep dropping in price. 3 months ago mine was $10.... did you buy yours back when the R4 team was still around?

thanks

Can someone tell me what are good sites to buy Edge, Acekard 2, and CycloDS and also tell me which ones are better than the other(list them from best to worst)? Also, with these, could I play gba roms on my DS? Thank you.Actually, nevermind. I just noticed there is a sticky thread that answers most of my questions.

1- R4DS is not sold anymore
2- The Edge and Acekard 2 are rather cheap ranging between $15 to $30 The CycloDS is more expensive but it is excellant in comparison
3- DS flashcarts DO NOT play GBA games, I can't stress this more, however you can get a GBA flashcart such as the EFA linker

With a GBA flashcart could I play GBA roms on my DS?

With a Slot 2 device for the DS, yes you can. http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?dynamic=8

One more question. How do you apply a translation patch to a NDS rom? I downloaded the patch but I don't see an option to apply it. There is no Open With option either and when I try to open it I get this message: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

Depends on the patch. Probably need to have LunarIPS to apply the patch. http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/download/lips101.zip

Thanks!

I bought mine around Christmas, it was $20 with a 2GB SD card, So I guess that averages out to about $10 for the R4, nd $10 for the SD
