    Welcome to RomUlation, mak67! If you'll take my modest opinion, the UK is not the best place to get things like that, check www.dealextreme.com for nice cards. And, by the way, you should check out some more flashcards besides the R4. RomUlation.net recommends the CycloDS. :) www.gbatemp.net has a nice collection of reviews about many flashcards for the NDS.

    I've gotten games that I do own currently. But, since I'm at the computer more than my actually cute pink DS I gave the emulator a try.

    I think they do, but keep in mind that they're settled in Hong Kong, so it might take a while for awhat you want to arrive. But the price is actually very good, the waiting is rewarding. :)

    EDIT: I just read their FAQ, they ship to every country. :)

    Yeah, just priced up a TT card and 1gb micro sd for a total of $22 lol

    That's a great price if the items are up to it and last

    Do you mean the DSTT?

    The DSTT is cheap for a reason.
    Generally, the cheaper the card, the cheaper the functions. Expect random incompatibilities with roms or wi-fi (you can also look up the review on gbatemp of the DSTT).

    The DSTT isn't bad for less than $22, but again, expect some problems.
    At the time of the review being posted Contra 4 didn't work. Hopefully, that's been fixed.
    The review also doesn't mention anything about playing patched games and this is the area that it is weak in.
    I have received several messages regarding this issue.
    I'm not sure if it is able to play hacked games (ones like all of those pokemon rom hacks) or trimmed games.

    If you don't plan on playing patched, hacked or trimmed games, then the DSTT is a good choice.
    The flashcart is usually decided on what you plan on using it for.

    I would try to buy your microSD locally since it is cheaper and faster delivery (instant).

    Where are your manners, insane? This an INTRODUCTION thread! :p

    Anyway, it's as he says, you should get the best. If you want quality, you pay it. Also, the Supercard is a great card, and it's only there for 26 USD (15 GBP).

    Oh, and we're way out of topic, enough for the day, if you want anything else, PM me. I'm done here. :)

    Where are your manners jin? Welcome to RomUlation :) Patched games work absolutely fine on the DSTT. I used to own one so yeah.

    I really wish someone with a DSTT could try running Jump! Ultimate Stars (translation patched of course) to see if the people I was trying to help were just complete retards or not.

    And since this game is pretty much THE game to have translated, this is really the game that "makes or breaks" a flashcart.

    Welcome to the forum by the way.

    I have run JUS patched on DSTT fine, same as my mate who owns it now.
