Is edge the same as R4?

    Hi guys/gals,

    I have ds edge and want to put some ds roms on it for my sons ds, but the only tutorials I can find are for R4. I'm new to this so was just wondering, would it be the same process using edge as it would R4? Are they the same thing? I have no idea.

    Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, i've searched high and low but can't find a clear answer,

    Thanks,

    Gore

    They both perform the same basic function, and basic operation is the same; however they are made by different manufacturers. The edge is newer and has better compatibility than the R4 (which is no longer supported by its manufacturer) and I believe edge also has features the R4 lacks.

    Please don't hijack other people's topics in future. To answer your question, either the CycloDS Evolution, EGDE or Acecart 2.

    The EDGE is mostly labelled as a Cyclo DS clone, since it copies some features etc. Yes it would be the same process, they mostly all do for installing firmware etc.

    I use a edge card and I think its great. I think the setup looks better than an R4 and i have heard that edge is less likely to freeze than a R4 or TTDS. I guess they are the same thing, they both play the games. Hope I helped.
