    Don't be worried, The R4 spring can break, its an undeniable fact, but I've had mine over a year and it hasn't and even if it does you can easily remove the spring from the cart and then insert the microSD manually. The card not loading/being recognised has happened to me before, it can simply be fixed by removing and reinserting the microSD and the cart into the DS. As for the DS itself breaking, some early Lites had weak hinges (and apparently some still may) but an easy way to avoid breaking your hinge is to not open your DS extremely fast.

    Just don't worry.

    If you have the r4 version 2 don't worry about the spring breaking cause it does'nt have one. My card sometimes does'nt get recognised by my ds, just re-inserting it seems to fix it.

    That's the one I've got (Crimson btw. :p), only not from Walmart. It's been fine for me so far and my CycloDS have been wonderful too. :)

    Beats the R4 any day.

    Don't worry the R4 is still a fine piece of kit. leetmod.com seems ok. Never dealt with them myself.

    I'm not sure if download play works (sending the demo to a friends DS). But WiFi works. Same as it would on Mario Kart in an ordinary DS.

    No, Roms from here work fine, Download Play is where you can send your friends a 'copy' of the game so you can play a limited version of multiplayer.

    Nah, I'm guessing that guy dropped his DS pretty bad. I mean I've had my DS (Phat since launch) and its still with me. And my Lite is still going strong. No breakages and plenty of drops.
