Thread: R4 Cards

  1. #1

    R4 Cards

    What are R4 cards used for on the DS/DSi?

    Are they like memory cards you can use to put games downlaoded from the internet on them, or do they have another use?

    I have a DSi, can I use a memory card to download games onto from the internet so I can use on my console, and if I can, can anyone tell me any websites I can find games to download on, and is it easy to do?

    If I can use a memory card to download games onto, does it have to be an R4 or can I use any other type of memory card?

    Hey there, I'm not sure this can be disscussed here, as its piracy based. Sorry.

    Don't know if Draziac answered it but here's a simple explanation.

    Basically: The R4 is DS cartridge with a mini SD slot.

    You use a USB thumb drive with a miniSD slot in it so you can insert the R4 mini SD card in it.

    Download DS ROMS onto the mini sd card.

    Remove the SD card from the thumb drive and insert it into the R4 DS cartridge. Load up the R4 and play your games.

    No it wouldn't. Those sections have a habit of attracting people who will virus them. The info he wants can be very easily obtained through other sources (You can even read a news article on how France ruled these cards as perfectly legal when Nintendo tried to sue to have them removed from stores) but he isn't going to get the info here.

    Usually I'd think this sort of thread would be fine as long as ROM talk was kept out of it, but since Nintendo I believe are making the R4 card itself illegal in many places............erring on the side of caution. As Titch said you can easily google all the uses DS flash carts have. Closed.
