Definitely get an R4 or M3 or one of those flash carts if you get a DS. They retail for around $200, the price doesn't change much between retailers.

ummm....how do i know if they r R4 or M3??

Does it matter? As long as it does the job.

That said, pirating games is bad and I don't recommend it for ethical reasons.

Also, $200 is WAY overpriced. I payed ~AU$60 for my R4. If you pay AU$200 you're a freaking idiot.

dealextreme used to have cheap R4s. you can also get decently priced ones from an aussie site: http://www.ozmodchips.com/

R4 gets firmware updates more often = better.

It's the same hardware with an extra soldering point anyway.

 

[stazi]

which reminds me: i should update my firmware. I'm only at v1.12

I only update mine when I try to run a rom and it doesnt work. The last time I updated it was with that final fantasy revanant game, and it turned out all you needed was an action-replay or whatever code to disable the copy-protection.

Oh, I got the R4 for about $50 from HK. Console I got for about $200.

You get a micro SD, plug that into your usb drive, download some roms onto it, plug the micro SD into the R4, then put the R4 into the slot-1 of the DS. It's VERY easy and straight forward.

Would have but uncle didn't seem too impressed with my poor Cantonese.

i would actually go for the cyclods over the r4.
