I'd be interested in this stuff too.

I'm supposedly getting a "premodded" DS where all I have to do is load games onto a memory card and I'm set. 

Where do I get the games though?  Any other DS tips/tricks/hacks would be appreciated.

I have an R4 as well.  The DS is really worth it if you end up getting a bunch of great games for free.  Check out this site.  It has basically every DS rom created.  If anyone needs help with R4 stuff just pm me and I can try to help.

Some game recommendations:
New Super Mario Brothers (Great mini games)
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IV
Dragon Warrior IV
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl (kiddy I know but great none the less)
The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass (haven't played too much but I think it's going to be great)
Tetris DS (addicting and classic)

Dragon Warrior also known as Dragon Quest... different in America and Japan I think.  Anyway they are my favorite RPG franchise, the first like 4 of them were on the NES and SNES and are all really classic games.  The remake for the DS of the 4th one was supposedly good.

Yeah man go for all the games you can get on that site, it's really a great place for all NDS games.

can you PM me the site where you got the R4?  I don't want to buy from some shady site that's just out to rip people off and i can't find anything i would trust.

Sorry guys, the one thing I can't help with is a place to get an R4.  The online vendor that I bought mine from is now shut down, Jrsxt might be able to help though.

thanks jrsxt!  Hopefully mine will get here by the beginning of next week, in the meantime looks like i have to start downloading some games to put on it :smile:

36 bucks for a lifetime of free DS game = totally worth it :laugh:

well, my r4 arrived today.  Ordered on thur, received today, so that's about 3-4 days ship time to get 1/2 way across the country.  Really speedy service.  Downloaded the software, transferred the needed files to my microsd card, popped the r4 with a copied game into the DS, and it fired perfectly first time with no problems.

Seriously, this was worth every penny.  If any of you have some wifi games you like to play, let me know, and i'll game with ya!

For anyone who loves the DS, this is worth the 35 bucks.  You get a free 2gb micro sd card which can hold a fuck ton of games.

Coda, I'll be with you shortly, I ordered my R4 yesterday (thanks for the ordering tip). 

I am hoping it works with the new DS coming out this summer.

There's a section about the new DS on wiki (the "DSi"). 

Basically, the screens are 0.25" bigger, and there are some other minor changes (it's a bit thinner, better speakers etc.).

The wiki article says the Japan release is this weekend. 

Seems to me that it might be possible that with updated firmware, the R4 could bypass the region encoding, and then you could pick one up on ebay for the holidays!  Otherwise, wiki says the U.S. may be waiting until April.

Mario Party DS is pretty fun too

Its pretty fun. The campaign is... ok.. But just playing random matches is fun. Online is alright too. What I dont like about playing against the computer is that at least on hard, they make perfect shots all the damn time. Its ridiculous.

How do you guys usually connect your DS with wi-fi?  I have my router set to WAP which is incompatible with the DS.

Do you use some other method or switch to WEP?

Is the original or new R4 revolution suggested, I've seen newer carts, but really for just playing whatever game and not getting into other things wouldn't a plain ol' R4/R4 Revolution work?

I have my router set to wep, i just use a 128 bit key.

I use the revolution, don't know offhand the differences between the two, but i really love this thing.  For a total of 35 bucks which included shipping and insurance on the package (plus you get a free 2 gb sd micro card) you can't go wrong. 

It comes with a usb drive which accepts the SD card and turns it into a thumb drive, then you just drag and drop the ROM's, put the SD card back in the R4, put the R4 in your DS, boot the DS, and choose your game.  I don't even bother with the other features of the R4, although i may grab some GBA games at some point, but i really don't see how this could be any easier.

I've played my DS more in the past 4 days then i have in the past 4 months lol.

Just a quick follow up question:

Have you ever had any of your ROMS "freeze"? 

Is there such a thing as a "corrupt ROM"?  I was playing Contra and Castlevania and had the games "freeze" which needed a restart of the DS.  Is this common?

I've heard of corrupted roms, then again it could be firmware issue, what card are you using r4 revolution, r4 sdhc, etc?

Yeah could be the rom then, I've heard people say revolution/sdhc are clones, doesn't bother me though. Just curious does anyone know if the R4 SDHC model is compatible with just SD cards, because I don't really want to purchase a 4gb SDHC card.
