So I guess r4 is old now.....

I used to have an r4 card, it broke due to an accident. I wanted to buy a new one, so i looked everywhere for an R4 card, but everytime I went to a website they were out of stock! I finally went to this website called dealextreme.com. Not only were they out of stock, but they said that they weren't making it anymore? I actually heard about that happening earlier on, but i thought they were rumors. I did abit of research and found out that the company stopped making it because they couldn't update it. So what's the new r4? I heard of this card called TT something.... and i think it's new. However, I don't trust them entirely yet (sorry, im very cautious), but if anyone can give abit of insight to this that would be awesome.

 

I was wondering why Gameyeeeah wasnt offering them either.
I guess you should get a CycloDS.

 

you can get a DSTT or a M3 they are both really good.

 

I agree with adk. You should save your money and get a CycloDS.

 

so cyclods is basically r4 except better rite?

 

Yes, it works the same way.

 

i have a TT and its really good. Apparently R4 and M3 cant hold 4gig and 8gig MicroSD cards?...well TT can, thought i'd share that
;D

 

Yeah they don't support SDHC MicroSDs. M3 is basically just the R4, so get a Cyclo, or Acekard or some thing.

 

Is this true? I wouldn't of thought R4 would go out of business, it was like 2nd most popular...

 

I just got an R4 SDHC... Yeah, yeah, I know it's fake (didn't know when I bought it) but it works perfectly so I'm happy!

 

I have an M3 real with a 4 gig card in it latest european firmware, no problems as yet plays all roms available at the moment my son has the same and he has some mp3's on which sends him nicely to sleep at bedtime ....

 

It's popularity will slowly decrease over time, it was amazing it it's debut though.

 

I had to pick up a R4 for a friend, I got the original version... however the next person who came in got the 'new' version. Box and everything is the same except has a yellow star in the corner of the box saying 'new'.... aparently a new company took over making them....

 

Hmmm...I've seen the new R4 on all different sites.... anyway.... what would be the best flash card to get...CycloDS, DSTT or TTDS, Edge, etc... what exactly would be their major differences??? Since we got the R4 both kids want the DS at the same time..... so now the next major pressie will be another DS and flash card... but which one?

 

CycloDS is the best one to get right now. It might be expensive, but there's no clones flying around and it has the best features:
While playing you can:

Real-time save (like Save States in emulators);

activate a slow-motion mode;

adjust the brightness.

Plus, Action Replay is supported and CycloDS comes bundled with cheats for over 300 games to get you started.

 

Indeed, CycloDS is the best option, followed by Acekard and Supercard (in no order). It has a fantastic bunch of great features. You can go to www.gbatemp.net, they have detailed reviews on most flashcards (including the CycloDS, which you should see).

 

Action Replay is supported on most flashcarts.. Most flashcarts have a ready loaded cheat database file.. Thanks for minime jin.

 

I heard they made this fake r4s called r4hd or something, and they say its "compatible with 8GB Micro SD cards).. well even if they are, they are fake, so im not bricking my ds however, i should start being more careful with my r4.. i could break it soon

 

It's SDHC. Like the high capacity MicroSDs.
