    That's bullshit, all ROMs? I'd like to see you run the DS Browser using only that thing.

    R4DS is an excellent card, from the description of DS Fire they're actually pretty similar, except that DS Fire has built in memory, which means that if you want to have more games than the card allows then you need to buy ANOTHER card. With R4 you just get a new MicroSD at like $14.

    Onboard memory will increase the price of the DS Fire too.

    So either DS Fire Card or R4DS.
    I can see lots of sites shwoing info and selling the R4DS. but barely anything on the Fire Card. Does anyone have a link to this so i can have a look.
    Although, R4DS does seem to be more appealing. But one question; does R4DS have any on board memory?

    PS: Thanks For everyones help! ;D :D

    No R4DS uses MicroSD cards for memory, they are tiny so you can easily bring several of them along with you. Also they're a lot cheaper than buying a second card.

    Ya, I found that out just today. Thanks! :D
    I think I'll buy the R4DS then with a 2gig SD card. But what brand of SD card is a good but value for money buy?
    Oh and Seph, I'm just asking, but how did you get that -666 karma?

    The very best microsd card would be kingston the ones made in taiwan as they have the best read speeds but the sandisks work really well also

    Actually, not to be a bitch :)P), but that's not entireley true. Tony Hawks Downhill Jam, Castlevania:poR and a couple others wont work properly unless they are running from a Japanese Kingston. And yes, its not Taiwan Kingston, Its Japanese!!! MUHAHAHAHA JAPANESE *gets slapped out of no where* <.< >.> ???
