    Hello people Im new here and i have a question/problem?
    You guys know the R4 for The nintendo DS Right?
    Well i hear that you can use the Games and Music Game card by Datel the same way as an R4
    the thing is if anyone knows how to do it can you guys tell me?

    I don't believe so. Though it might be possible using something similar to the max overload method from long ago.

    But for a 30 dollar price tag, you are much better off getting a quality flashcart like the Acekard2i, which you can find for 13-20 dollars.

    It can't run commercial games, only homebrew.

    The R4 can run .nds (Real games OR homebrew) files. Music can be played (if your card doesn't create 100000000000000000000000000000 directory's T.T (like mine did)) with Moonshell 2.08. If you have Moonshell 2, here's a nice Vista skin for you: Download

    If any error occures, please contact me with a PM. I'm experienced with Moonshell 2.X series :p

    Sorry, if you where busy with Max Overload methods, here a short explaination: Here

    It is only a homebrew player and can only run homebrew natively.

    It will be much easier if you just get a real flashcart designed to play commercial games.

    I have this, and it's only use is homebrew, not multimedia. It was never designed to be able to run commercial roms, nor does it have the capacity for it.(which is why I retired it/buried it in a pile of electronics) And the 128mb mSD card that comes with it is lol(it's in my phone now)

    Just get an AceKard2 and save yourself the hassle:
    AceKArd2: $11.08
    And a better mSD reader(if you're still using that shitty GnM reader, I pity you XD)
    USB microSD reader: $1.59

    *Both links go to products on dealextreme.com, which should start getting back up to speed sometime in January.

    He can ask what he wants here.

    Unless it's not pg13 or advertises other rom sites, plus...do try to keep people here XD

    I couldn't get moonshell working right...I had stupid acc files.


    Can anyone post a tutorial or at least a quick start guide for moonshell-all i remember is ram into flash cart, browse for files and play.

    let me word it like this: Why not just use the Search feature and look for a thread with that topic on what you want?
    Saves time for the mods by not having more messages to sift through.

    R4 is crap, you're better off with an acekard 2, edge or cyclods.
